An organizational meeting for the Mad River Youth

Lacrosse Association will be held on Thursday, March 6th, at the Waitsfield School gym. The mission of the Association is to offer lacrosse programs for K-6 players in the Mad River Valley.

All people interested in helping bring this exciting sport to our Valley are encouraged to attend. No lacrosse experience necessary! Please contact Neil Nussbaum at 496-5677 (or neilnussbaum@madriver.com) for more information.

Shaw’s Receipts:  Nathan Russell and Nathanael Kuzio are very pleased to report that the school has collected $9944 in Shaw’s receipts as of 15 February 2008.  This will net the Central Vermont Humane Society $99.  Let’s keep up the great work!  Hopefully, our school can collect enough receipts by the end of the year to earn $150 for CVHS.  We are 2/3 of the way there!  Have a great vacation everyone!
