Thrift Shop helps educate Aspen kids
Aspen Elementary School would like to take this opportunity to thank the Aspen Community Foundation and The Thrift Shop of Aspen for their generous contributions to our summer school program. Through their grants, we were able to offer 32 scholarships to students in the Aspen School District’s elementary school. Their support enhanced our ability to reach out and enrich academic experiences for those qualifying students.
The Aspen Community Foundation and the Thrift Shop of Aspen continue to be avid contributors to the Aspen School District and its students. Through their contributions, Aspen Elementary School is ensuring that students are ready for learning when they enter school each August. Thanks again for the time and consideration you have given in support of educating our children.

Doggy Day a woofing success
Last Saturday, Sept. 6, Lucky Day Animal Rescue of Colorado hosted its third annual Doggy Day and Splash pool party at the Aspen Recreation Center. On behalf of Lucky Day Animal Rescue, we want to thank our fantastic supporters: the ARC for opening up the pool and grass area for pups to play and swim, their helpful and accommodating staff, our silent auction donors for their generous support, our canine friends and their humans who came and participated in the fun, and the Roaring Fork Valley community. It was a wonderful event enjoyed by all and we look forward to next year!

Cadets show colors at Aspen Chabad
Wow! This past weekend we were visited in Aspen at the Aspen Chabad Jewish Center by about a dozen students from the Air Force Academy of Colorado Springs. This was a group of young, delightful, bright and motivated cadets. These men and women, our future leaders, showed us the best side of an America to come. I was thrilled to see what a great job the Air Force Academy is doing. It was inspiring to get a chance to see and hear the really glowing part of America’s future. I wanted to share in this lovely experience. It made me even prouder to be an American. Thanks to the Academy for a job well done. A five-star weekend.

Realtor saves dog
I ‘d like to commend one of our local Realtors for saving my dog’s life Saturday, Sept. 6. A petite dynamo with strength and bravery plucked my large, scary looking lab German shepherd mix out of a stream where he was caught in an underground culvert and drowning. I don’t know how she did it, but the gods of fate put her there at the exact right moment! I will be grateful forever for her courage. Thank you, Marion Lansburgh!
