More opportunities to root for the team!

Sorry that last post took up so much space. I thought it was timely and important and didn't have time to figure out how to reduce/edit it. I hope some of you got the chance to go and support our fellow global villagers in Haiti. Following are the schedule and venues for the Nordic ski team for the rest of the season. On the TBA sites I will post when we know where the meets will be. This often depends on where the snow is. All meets involve five or more teams. It's a great hour of running (or standing, depending on who you are) around in the beautiful snow and it means a lot to the skiers. You will run into parents and kids you haven't see for years. Bring good noisemakers and encouraging voices (and warm boots!). January 21 Twin Brook; January 28 Riverside (Portland Municipal Golf Course, North Entrance); February 4 Races hosted by Freeport and Cape, location uncertain at this time; February 11 Riverside or Twin Brook. All meets are on Thursday afternoons. All races start at 3:30 and are pretty much done by 4:30.
