TEAM PHOTOS THIS WEEK: Thursday, Feb 11 at 4 PM in soccer field - everyone must wear their team jackets or something green or black. Rah!

Hello Ski Team Members and Parents - Regions BBQ coming up! Regions are quickly approaching, and this means our annual Regions BBQ on Saturday, February 16 is right around the corner. For those who are new to the team, we set up BBQs at the edge of the Kincaid stadium, and serve up Hamburgers, Hot Dogs,and other yummy treats to skiers and their families. We get to socialize, and watch the races at the same time! The booster club buys the burgers and dogs, plus extras. We need parents to help supply fruit and cookies or other treats. I have one BBQ lined up, but if anyone else is willing to bring one out, we'd have plenty of cooking power. We'll set up the tent (if we still have one that works) before the races start, and be ready to serve hot food as the first racers finish. I'm also looking for a couple of tables, and someone willing to make hot lemonade and bring it out in the drink container. If you are willing to lend a hand or supply goodies, please email Jill Hess @ jjlahess@ak.com and let me know. This is fun, and the kids really appreciate the food! Thanks, Jill Hess
