Dear Friends of Grizzly Flats, Our mission is to rebuild the community of Grizzly Flats and make it home again. Thank you. You have shown your support and generosity beyond our wildest hopes. The El Dorado Community Foundation has reported that you have given over $200,000 towards that mission. There are so many organizations, businesses and individuals in El Dorado County that are helping us along our way that we can’t possibly name them all. And “Thank You” just doesn’t seem big enough to express how appreciative we are of the support. Grizzly Flats isn’t a place you go and visit very often but it is a wonderful place to live. We will persevere, adapt and overcome the obstacles we face, because we believe it’s still a wonderful place to call home. Thank you again for helping us get there.
