Letter: Thrift Shop lifts special athletes

Letter to the Editor Letter-to-the-editor |

Another year gone by. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the volunteers of the Thrift Shop of Aspen. For over 25 years, the Thrift Shop of Aspen has helped our Special Olympics athletes by donating a substantial amount of money.

We appreciate it each and every year and feel they need the recognition that goes with being so generous. It’s so nice to know that the Thrift Shop continues its ongoing task of assisting nonprofits with important missions and projects.

The volunteers at the Thrift Shop make this donation possible with all of their hard work. On behalf of our athletes, coaches and families in the Roaring Fork Valley, thank you!
