[blindkid] Blind / Visually Impaired Alpine Ski Festival Week Opportunity!

[Scott]

Greetings Mindy


The cost of the Ski Festival is listed under lodging packageson the web site


  http://nevifest.org/register.htm


The only cost for the festival is the lodging. All the lessons and activities are free. The lift tickets for skiing is included in the lodging packages.


Sponshorship idea:
- We have had good luck with Skiers contacting their local Lions Clubs and asking for their support. If this is an option for you,  we would be happy to call your Lions Club and discuss the festival but you need to supply us with their contact information. Hope this helps.


Please contact us if you have any additional questions


Kind Regards,


Scott

Hi--
I'm perhaps being dense here, but I can't find the cost for this event.  My son 
& I might be interested. He will be 12 at the time of the event, visual acuity 
of 20/400. I'm 52, visual acuity somewhere between 20/100-20/200.
We will, I am sure, need to fundraise to do this. A regional chain of stores 
has  cupon sale program we might be able to do if we can wirk through your 
office with your tax exempt #. Is that workable? Do you have other suggestions?
thanks,
Mindy Heppe
