At this time, I would also like to mention a growing concern we have with the our clubhouse. During the holiday week our clubhouse was way too messy. Plastic bags, half eaten nachos, french fries and a lot of other garbage all over the place. In plain it, was treated without any respect. I was also made aware of some of athletes not treating each other with mutual respect. Both of these situations are  entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated.  Please talk with your athlete/child about this situation, we(coaches/staff) can not be downstairs at all times to monitor the athletes behavior and cleanliness. The only alternative would be to close the clubhouse to all but ski storage, something none of us want to do. Thanks for your help in straightening out our situations.

For the 2011-2012 season we are looking to increase the level of participation by our members in managing our events on the mountain.  In particular, we are going to have the parents of each age group support the race day events for their respective races.  It is important that we have our parents on the hill in volunteer positions so that we can run the events efficiently and effectively.

Each age group needs to have two lead parents who can assist Tom Ziegler and Toni Harkins in organizing the race day volunteers.  This will entail making phone calls to parents in the age group and organizing the volunteers in coordination with Tom and Toni.

We will be using a web based volunteer management program to assist in securing and organizing our volunteers.

All members of the BOC should log into http://bocracecrew.volunteerhub.com , provide your contact info and sign up for a minimum of two volunteer commitments.  Keep in mind that with over 350 volunteer spaces that need to be filled we really need our members to commit to more than two volunteer commitments.

If you would like to volunteer for your age group or have any questions about volunteering on the mountain please contact Tom Ziegler by email at wtzieglervt@gmail.com or by phone at 203 856 6956.
