Thanks a Million!

Funski events slated for January 20-21
We’ve all had our fill of the downside of the winter weather we’ve been having. So how about enjoying one of the upsides?

The snow is great for the Media One Funski to benefit Children’s Home Shelter for Family Safety! Come to Great Bear Ski Valley on January 20-21 where there is something for everyone!

Funski has become the premier outdoor winter event in eastern South Dakota, raising more than $1 million in support for Children’s Home Shelter for Family Safety in the past 34 years!

“We’d love to see more CHS staff participating in Funski,” says CEO Michelle Lavallee. “Many of the events call for teams—so grab a few co-workers, family or friends and show us your stuff!”

“There’s no shortage of snow this year, so you can get in plenty of practice before you obliterate the competition,” she adds.

If you would like to volunteer to help at the event, call Staci Kropuenske at 605.330.7387.

You can register at funski.org. Please note that your tubing tickets must be purchased online at greatbearpark.com (there are a limited quantity of tickets available).

Blood Donations Still Needed
Thank you to everyone who was able to donate blood during last week’s January 4 snowy day!

Several blood drive events had to be cancelled due to weather, and the blood supply this time of the year is already low. If
you missed last week’s drive and and would still like to donate blood, you may do so at either Sioux Falls hospital.

The Police Department and the Fire Department each selected a charitable organization for the Heroes Behind the Badges blood drive competition. CHS is the Fire Department’s charity. If the Fire Department gets the most “votes” through blood donations, CHS will receive around $1,000.

Watch for the winner to be announced next Monday in GOOD WORKS Weekly!
