Grooming and trail marking season over

Northwest Colorado Snowmobile Club has announced that the club has ended its grooming and trail marking season for 2007-08. Snow on the mountain is excellent, but trailhead access is becoming muddy, according to a news release.

Bowling association to sponsor tournament

The Northwest Colorado Bowling Association will sponsor an open bowling tournament at 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. April 12 and 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. April 13 at Thunder Rolls Bowling Center.

The tournament is open to any member with a valid United States Bowling Congress card. Entries close at 9 p.m. April 11 and may be obtained at the bowling center. For more information, call 824-7974.

Hospice fundraiser close to achieving goal

Area hospice program staff and volunteers raised $1,962 during Tuesday’s “Heralds of Hope” fundraiser, said Kris Bye, Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association volunteer coordinator. The sum fell slightly short of the program’s $2,000 goal.

All proceeds from the one-day fundraiser will be used to support programs and purchase materials for the hospice program, which provides in-home care and support for those in the last stage of life.

Hospice Daffodils still are available in Steamboat Springs at the Visiting Nurse Association and Alpine Floral. Your purchase of one or more bunches of flowers supports Hospice and Palliative Care Services of Northwest Colorado. Cost is $5 a bunch. For more information, call the VNA at 879-1632.

Community members still can make donations to the hospice program at the VNA’s Craig office, 745 Russell St. Checks should be made payable to “Hospice.” For more information, call 871-7660.
