    • “So wonderful to see these photos. I didn’t get to leave my closing thoughts on the (Zoom) chat last night, but my heart is so full of thanks to the Y team. The priority of relationships always, the dedication, the attention to detail, the skills poured forth and ability to pivot quickly, I could go on and on…we are so blessed with this team of wonderful people. Praying on this day for continued strength of our staff and the firefighters and other emergency responders. Grateful for the snow, of course, and hope that Snow Mountain Ranch gets its fair share, too!” Love to you all,   – Deb M.
