Ski Swaps and Parent Info Meeting

There will be an informational meeting for parents of all skiers, grades 6 through 12 on Thursday, November 20th after practice.  Here's what you can expect:

• Info from coaches on the season
• Info regarding team meals on waxing nights
• Spectrum clothing order samples to try on
• Sign up to help at our home meets
• Misc info

There will also be a SKI SWAP!  If you have outgrown equipment or clothing/equipment that are not being used, please price it and bring it to the parent meeting.  There are lots of new skiers this year who will probably be interested in taking a look at your stuff.

OTHER SKI SWAPS where you might be able to pick up some good used equipment:

1. Brainerd High School on Saturday the 15th from 9 to noon
2. SCSU Hallenbeck hall on Sunday from 1 to 3

Another opportunity is at Revolution Cycle in St. Cloud on Saturday the 15th.  It's Team Day with "special deals" and 20% off on all clothes and accessories. 

High School Info Meeting

Meet in the HS Commons on Wednesday morning (tomorrow!) during advisory if you'll be skiing this year or if you're someone who is considering joining the team.

Nordic Ski Apparel Order

Here's a sneak peek at the Nordic apparel order form that you'll be seeing soon!  Spectrum was able to get the same jackets that were ordered last year and will embroider to match.  The Parent Meeting is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 13th; paper copies of the order form will be available there too.  The due date is Nov. 20th with a delivery date of Dec. 8th.

Middle School Info Meeting

There will be an informational meeting for all Middle School skiers before school on Thursday. Meet Joe in the MS Commons at 7:45.  First day of practice is next Tuesday, November 11th and there are snow flurries forecasted for this week!

Craft Fair Parking -- Opportunity for $$

Good Morning Skiers and Ski Parents!

Even though it's hot out, there is a lot going on with Nordic Ski.

There will be a new Asst Coach helping us out this year...Greg Jamison who will be teaching Special Ed at the Middle School. 

The rumors are true, we have been moved from our wax room.  Our new room is smaller and our coaches are working to figure out how it's all going to come together.  Don't fear!  We are a hardy group that rarely receives the recognition that other sports get AND YET we continue to send athletes to State each year!

We have the opportunity to use the Maple Island Parking lot for fundraising during the Craft Fair.  In the past we have used the money for rollerskis, Biwabik trips and concession money.

As budgets continue to tighten we need to look for ways to support our Nordic Ski Program.  There's a waiting list for parking lots and this one is in a GREAT location.  If there aren't enough volunteers to run it, we'll lose it to the next organization on the list... so if you can, please help out! 

Volunteer Times:

Sat AM:   6-12 ( 2 hour shifts) 2 adults/4 kids per shift? 
        2 kids standing on main drag with sign to direct people to
        us, 2 more at entrance to lot. 
        Adults to help with money and parking.

Sun AM : 7-12?  Same staffing  as Saturday
