What a community we have in Clearwater!
It takes a team to make the magic. How did it all happen? It’s not a “what,” it’s a who, and close to 70 people came over two days to the Clearwater Ski Hill lodge to help prepare, cook, serve, and deliver Christmas dinner. We are so grateful, and want to thank everyone who volunteered and provided sponsorship to make this community spirit event possible. We couldn’t have done it without all those who made donations. We appreciate each and every one of you.
If you loved the meal, thanks are due to the “dream team” in the kitchen: Corey Dixon, Noreen and Donna Venables, Jim Zsednai, and Ben Bergeron. They cook with love from the heart.
Our heartfelt thanks to:
Adrienne Fehr, Ben Bergeron, Bob, Kathy and Alison Merta, Bonnie and Erik Biddell, Candus Graffunder, Charlotte Smith, Chris Burstrom, Christy Kjenstad, Corey Dixon, Daniela Wiunig, Darren Coates, Deirdra Cisna, Diane Coughlin, Haashit Malik, Hazel Wadlegger, Isabella Graffunder, Jan Johnston, Jay and Jane Krickan, Jim Zsednai, Joan Streddwick, Jocelyn Ripley, Kalen Jones, Ken Madland, Kim Norman, Kyla Ives and Ken Helmer and family, Larissa Hadley, Lennie and Kalan Priede, Liz and Russ Morrison, Lyle, Kaleigh Mackenzie and family, Lynne Frizzle, Martha Taylor, Maveric and Beth Northcott, Michelle and Arnold Webster
