A Message from the President,
Congratulations to long-time member organization Salisbury Winter Sports Association (SWSA) on the 92nd Annual Ski Jump Weekend at Satre Hill in Salisbury, CT. 92 years! That is quite a milestone for a weather-dependent event in the middle of winter in Southern New England.
The men and women of SWSA work hard day and night in the weeks and months leading up to this Junior Olympic Team qualifying event. Jump teams from as far as Lake Placid travel to our area, stay at our inns, hotels, motels and B&Bs. Day trippers from Albany to Hartford, Williamstown to Greenwich visit to watch the events, shop in our stores, eat in our restaurants and, in some cases, research real estate!
We owe a deep gratitude to organizations like SWSA for bringing our community together, and for bringing much needed tourist dollars to our small towns. THANK YOU SWSA!
Jean Saliter, President
