October 2008

Hello to our returning members and potential new members,

Nashoba Valley Ski Club is run by the parents and guardians of our racers. As a non-profit organization, we maintain the goal of providing a fun environment for the kids to develop racing skills. We do this by coordinating with the Eastern Massachusetts Buddy Werner League organization, Nashoba Valley Ski Area, and several other ski clubs around the area. There is a lot of work involved and we all do this as volunteers - so the patience and help from all members makes this time consuming endeavor turn into an enjoyable experience.

Registration for the 2008/2009 season will begin on October 15, 2008. Registration applications must be mailed and postmarked on or after Oct 15, 2008. Available slots in the program are limited, so please get your registrations in right away, starting on October 15th. The closing date to submit an application is November 15th. You will receive an email with a club roster confirming your registration by December 1st. Practices are held on Thursdays, starting when Nashoba Valley Ski Area opens in December. The races are held on Sundays and begin on the first Sunday after New Years Day. Schedules as well as last minute updates are available on the club’s website, www.nvscracing.com.

The club is strategically run by a group of trustees. These volunteers spend a significant amount of time working on initiatives that ensure the practices and races are held as well as the long term goals of the club are met. Along these lines, we will be recruiting core volunteers for the future officers of Nashoba Valley Ski Club, so please get to know the trustees and find out how the club operates.

On the tactical side of our events, volunteering is mandatory for the families of all racers. So please include a volunteer form with your registration documents. If you do not make a selection on your volunteer form, a position will be assigned to you.

Thank you all for your interest and good luck racers!
