CANCELLED

Due to the areas of Wentzville and O’Fallon becoming COVID Hot Spots now, MDWSA has made the decision to cancel the August 6 – 7, and September 13 Adaptive Ski Clinics at Lake St. Louis, MO. We appreciate your willingness to help make these events possible, but unfortunately current circumstances are beyond our control. When we made the decision to proceed 6 weeks ago, we were hopeful the COVID situation would stabilize or improve. But that is not the case.

Please know that we care about you and value your continue support! As the cases for COVID increase in St. Charles County, and the cases in Wentzville and O’Fallon are currently very high (the two cities surrounding Lake St. Louis), we made this difficult decision in the best interest of your health. We hope that next summer we are past these immoderate circumstances and will see you back next year – for a healthy 2021!

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused as many of you took off work or school. We know you look forward to these adaptive ski events as do we.

On a positive note, we were able to test our new sign up software via our website that will help our efficiency and growth in the future. We are satisfied with the results to date as it is good event organization and quick contact and communication.

We hope you remain hopeful during these challenging times! We look forward to a healthy and successful 2021 season with plenty of skiing!

We will be back in 2021 stronger than ever

The Phil Martin Award is presented in recognition and appreciation of outstanding contributions and dedication to the advancement of adaptive water skiing.  Congratulations to Vito who was the 2017-2018 recipient!

I know I am GRATEFUL to know and work with Vito and this award is WELL DESERVED.  Vito was recognized for all of his hard work and dedication to the sport of adapted water skiing.  I think the perseverance of years and years of effort and great events that expose people with disabilities in Missouri is worthy of recognition.  Thank you so much Vito and all for all your years of contributions and the many people you have affected positively!

Congratulations Vito!  This is worth celebrating!
