Dear Patrick,
 
Snow has been sighted in Connecticut and ski areas are beginning to open.  Mt. Laurel has been incredibly active and the schedule in the upcoming months is guaranteed to provide you with one event after another to keep you busy.  In the past month, we've taken our annual bus trip to NYC, had a fire safety presentation, several cool hikes, a Halloween Party, a Work Weekend at the lodge, a Yoga presentation, the Snowball, New Member Orientation, Fashion Show, and the Manchester Road Race.  Whew!  And winter hasn't even gotten here yet.  Thanks to the tireless volunteers who keep our schedule full.  Check out what's on tap for the weeks ahead.

CSC Monday Night Race Chairperson Rob Dexter tells us: Mt Southington is planning on opening on December 8th (weather permitting). That is just 2 days before our 1st scheduled Monday night race. It is unlikely that December 10th will have racing at Mt Southington, but it is too early to say for sure. Stay tuned to see, and hope for cold weather. The Mt Southington race number to call, to find out if racing is on for that night is: 860 628-7669 X243 (call after 2:00 on that day) The cost to race for a night for CSC for the 2007/2008 season is $25 for racing and lift ticket. For updates, check out MTL's Racing Page.  Kay Leatherman has arranged for the club to purchase some terrific new  baseball caps for our racers. Racing three times earns a hat!  If you've never raced before, you don't know what you're missing!  Plan on joining us this year.  Pizza follows each race.

Who is this Mt.Laurel member?  It's week 14 of our contest to see if you can recognize members from their high school photos.   Guess the identity and submit your answer to webmaster@mtlski.com.   I won't reveal if you're right or not until the following Wednesdays' meeting. Who was Week 13?  To learn her true identity click here.  Dig out those yearbooks and scan your photo.  If you don't have a scanner, take a digital picture of the photo (no flash!) or just photocopy it.  Snailmail or Email it to me. If you don't have the 12th grade photo, I guess we could accept back to 8th grade.  Earlier than that will just be too hard to recognize.  Photos will change each Wednesday.  Some are easier to recognize than others!
