KEYSTONE, COLORADO SKI RESORT > EPIC PROMISE

ECO-PRODUCTS: THE OFFICIAL ZERO WASTE PARTNER OF VAIL RESORTS

Company-wide on 11/12/2018 5:10:57 PM

Eco-Products is proud to be the Official Zero Waste Partner of Vail Resorts. As the leading brand of compostable and recycled content foodservice packaging, Eco-Products is committed to a Zero Waste future. In addition to providing environmentally preferable cups, plates, and the like, Eco-Products is helping Vail Resorts expand their composting and recycling programs and deliver on their Commitment to Zero. Eco-Products believes big things can happen in small packages, and the partnership with Vail Resorts has the promise to deliver just that.

The epic promise touts the reusable cups, zero waste, etc.

This is peculiar…. Or maybe not. These resorts and surrounding areas can be very expensive. The Vail ski resorts make a LOT of money, but most who work for them apparently do not make much of an income. But Vail Resorts don’t have hearts of stone, do they? Look what they do for the poor ones who work there:

THEY PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE EMPLOYEES. Guess who does that?

WAIT FOR IT

…………………………………

THE EPIC PROMISE FOUNDATION! …and of course local food banks:

http://www.epicpromise.com/our-stories/8-850-meals-for-employees/

Vail Resorts Employee Food Program

The EpicPromise Foundation partnered with local food banks in our communities to provide supplemental meals and groceries for employees at some resorts with below average snowfall in the early season.

We partnered with FIRC (Family Intercultural Resource Center) in Summit, CO; Our Community Foundation in Eagle County, CO; Christian Center in Park City, UT; Bread and Broth in South Lake Tahoe, CA; Project Mana in North Lake Tahoe, CA. Over the course of the three week holiday period, the EpicPromise Foundation and nonprofit partners provided approximately 8,850 meals or bags of groceries to-go. Food was made available at Employee Centers, Employee dinners and distributed to departments as needed. Employee volunteers supported the program through bagging food, transporting food to distribution locations and administering food. While participating in the program, employees felt a first-connection to their fellow colleagues in need.

[Our people ARE generous and helpful. An American IS generally ready to help if there is need. And even though these employees DON’T ALL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY FOOD - BECAUSE OF LOW WAGES….The Corporation, in order to make their food donations program work on a shoe string, are encouraging their employees (and presumably anyone else) to “VOLUNTEER!” WHY NOT JUST PAY THEM WHAT THEY ARE WORTH?????]

http://www.epicpromise.com/community-support/epicpromise-volunteers/

Giving Back is in our DNA.

[They say nothing here that I could find about blood drives, but it worries me that they even mention the word “DNA” in connection to the word “VOLUNTEER.”]

Vail Resorts is dedicated to helping our communities thrive, a commitment which is reflected in one of our six foundational values: “Do Good.” One of the most impactful ways to accomplish this is through employee volunteering. IN FACT, VAIL RESORTS EMPLOYEES GAVE NEARLY 25,000 HOURS OF COMPANY-SPONSORED VOLUNTEER TIME TO NONPROFITS OVER THE LAST YEAR.

[ it's interesting how the big company "provides" opportunities to "volunteer" and oh doesn't it make their PR department feel just so tickled!?]

To continue to strengthen the bond between our employees and our communities, we are revitalizing our volunteer commitments with EpicPromise Volunteers, now comprised of four main programs:

EpicPromise CONNECT (Our newest addition!)

EpicPromise CONNECT offers Vail Resorts employees opportunities to volunteer at popular community events throughout the year. Over the next six months, an estimated 850 employee volunteers will lend a hand at 34 community events resulting in more than 4,000 volunteer hours. We’ll plant sugar pines near the shores of Lake Tahoe, help local farmer’s markets “stay green,” and build homes for families in need. And that is just the tip of the iceberg! Learn more and register for an EpicPromise CONNECT volunteer event near you today.

The rest of this page provides other ways they have for people to volunteer.

They even have a Scholarship for employee dependents.

In the next part we will begin looking at the Epic Foundation

PART THREE

KEYSTONE, COLORADO SKI RESORT > EPIC PROMISE

Here is an article from 2015 about the Epic Promise Foundation. We learn that they are funding it through the Vail Resorts and will be giving employees certain grants, which at the time of this article they hadn’t fully worked out yet.At the end we learn that they will be working with another foundation and a conservation center:

https://www.summitdaily.com/news/local/epicpromise-foundation-to-support-vail-resorts-employees-through-grants/ EpicPromise Foundation to support Vail Resorts employees through grants

Local | December 2, 2015

Vail Resorts plans to give out $750,000 in grants to employees next year, through their new EpicPromise Foundation. A separate entity from the company itself, the foundation has applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and will be used to distribute scholarships to employees for assistance in pursuing education and responding to medical or family emergencies.

Nicky DeFord, senior manager of charitable contributions for Vail Resorts, said the foundation was created “to support (employees) in times of need, to inspire them and to give them an avenue to support their coworkers.”

TO KICK OFF THE PROGRAM, CEO ROB KATZ WILL DONATE $1.5 MILLION TO THE FOUNDATION, WITH VAIL RESORTS PLEDGING $500,000 EACH YEAR. GRANT applications will open in January, with the first grants awarded as early as February.

“We definitely have clients who will benefit,” Family and Intercultural Resource Center executive director Tamara Drangstveit said. “I think this is one more way for Summit County families to get the help they need.”

DeFord said the FOUNDATION WAS STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPES OF GRANTS COULD BE AWARDED UNDER IRS RULES. As far as emergency relief, she said the foundation would look to offer grants for medical crises.

“Emergency relief is very broad and we still have a lot to learn,” she added.

As far as education is concerned, the foundation will be able to offer scholarships to employees and their families for four-year degrees, vocational school and GEDs.

Once the foundation’s 501(c)(3) status is approved, the employees and visitors will be able to make tax-deductible donations. A board of directors consisting of non-executive employees across the company will oversee the foundation.

“The EpicPromise Foundation will be managed by our employees, for our employees,” Katz said in a statement. “It’s said that charity should begin at home and in this holiday season, we are creating a way for everyone at Vail Resorts to both give back and be supported.”

While the foundation shares a name with EpicPromise, the branch of Vail Resorts responsible for donations to local nonprofits including the Summit Foundation and High Country Conservation Center, it will remain a separate entity as a nonprofit. “It will be part of the whole story of EpicPromise,” DeFord added.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Well, who is Nicky Deford?

Deford

A quote from the above 2013 article:

“…We want communities to understand that Vail Resorts is not a corporate monster that wants to take over a town,” says DeFord, who oversees a $6.5 million budget of annual giving. “How do I convince a community that Vail Resorts does care, and wants to partner with people? We don’t want to just give a blank check. We want to understand the problems and be part of the solution.”

It’s no secret that Vail Resorts must contend with a public perception that can be less than charitable. What isn’t well known—at least not until you talk to DeFord—is how much the company does for communities and its employees….”

Hmmmmmm seems as though they have had some PR repairs to do for some reason. I have no idea what they could have been though. Perhaps FReeQs living in these areas could clue us in on the situation. However, I feel as though I’ve been reading here about every Hallmark Movie ever made where a huge EEEE-VIL corporation invades a pristine small town area and runs rough shod over it and commercializes it. Only to learn they need to lighten up a bit. But I could certainly be way off track here.

END PART THREE

We will continue looking at the Epic Foundation.

I have Chrome but rarely use it. I looked up how to update it and wanted me to push a button I don’t see and choose from a drop down menu that didn’t have the items on it I was supposed to click.

Any ideas helpful.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I read that when you open Chrome, it automatically updates. If you don’t see an ‘update’ button, you already have the most updated version...

To update Google Chrome:

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More .
Click Update Google Chrome. If you don’t see this button, you’re on the latest version.
Click Relaunch

Why yes it is. And he wears a yellow tie, too.

What a coincidence!

And it looks like the [JB] “rumors” of Mule dump today were a false start for the DS ;)

McCabe also investigated Sessions

https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/03/04/mccabe_probed_not_just_trump_but_own_boss_sessions_too.html

Top FBI official Andrew McCabe did not just investigate President Trump. As he notes in a little-publicized part of his new book, McCabe even investigated his department boss — then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions — after Senate Democrats asked McCabe to look into allegations Sessions perjured himself during his confirmation hearings when he denied meeting with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

Sessions had, in fact, met with the Russian ambassador. He later corrected the record and explained he had forgotten speaking with the official and was not trying to mislead Congress.

Ordering the Sessions probe was “another unprecedented, partisan action that has been forgotten,” said former federal prosecutor Solomon L. Wisenberg, a partner at Nelson Mullins LLP in Washington.

Did Ellis’ scorching of the SC investigation change the report submission timeline? Is Mueller pyzzed off enough to hold back and go look for more/new scalps?

Timelines change.

Good point. But what if Q has already gotten what he needed and has foiled their evil plans?
