MNC Parents, athletes, friends:
The 2014 Junior National Championships take place virtually on our home courses this year (Trapp’s / Stowe). We’ve got a great opportunity to play a positive role in the success of this event which draws ~400-500 athletes from around the country (not to mention all the family members that come to spectate and for a taste of Vermont!). MNC Parent and Board Member Lisanne Hegman is the Volunteer Coordinator for the event and her message is below.
As a club we’ve had numerous All-Americans over the past few years and one recent Junior National Champion! This year we hope to have 4-8 local athletes qualify for the Championships event and I will attend as a coach for New England.
The success of the our sport — both in New England and across the country — depends on lots of hard work from parents and volunteers. That is one major reason why New England is so successful: lots of dedicated folks that love skiing. Please consider helping in any way possible. Thanks!
FROM LISANNE HEGMAN, VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR:
Hi ski enthusiasts!
I’m writing to ask for your help. In approximately two months, the nations’ fastest junior skiers will descend upon Trapp Family Lodge for the Junior Nationals. This event, to be held March 3-8, can only happen with the help of a lot of volunteers!
We need people for all kinds of things: bib collection, crowd control, keeping the timers well fed, parking, recording and much, much more. No experience necessary; just a willingness to jump in and help out. In support of our volunteers, Trapp Family Lodge will provide coffee, tea, morning pastries, and lunch in an onsite location and a day pass for the 13-14 ski season.
Signing up is easy. Go to this site and fill out the online form where you can list your preferences and days:http://www.jn2014stowe.com/volunteer-sign-up
Once you are signed up, I will contact you with more specific information about the actual event.
Many thanks in advance. Hope to see you at the Junior Nationals!
