December Newsletter

DECEMBER NEWSLETTER

The Mad River Ridge Runners held their Annual Holiday Pot Luck / Yankee Gift Exchange Party in conjunction with the monthly meeting on December 6th at the Fayston Town Hall. Twenty seven members attended including four new members. We are always happy to see new faces at our meetings. A fun time was had by all.




MRRR has a new blog site administered by Vice President, Tony Amenta. The website is: http:/madriverridgerunners.blogspot.com. The site is updated regularly and provides current information about club happenings.

Trails are due to open on Monday, December 19th. At this point, the portion of Route 100 North that crosses the Turner property is closed due to a dispute between the landowner and the State of Vermont. The MRRR are actively supporting the landowner during this process by writing letters to the Governor, State Reps and the Vermont Agency of Transportation. The complete Vermont Legislative Directory is available at: http://www.leg.state.vt.us/legdir/legdir2.htm Please show your support to the landowner by writing a letter to a State Representative.


The New Year-s Hot Dog Roast is scheduled for Sunday, January 8th. Please contact Tony Amenta (496-2925) for details. The St. Johnsbury Overnight Ride is scheduled for January 28th and 29th. There are four rooms still available. Please contact Kathi Orr (496-4161) if you wish to reserve a room.



Our next meeting is January 3, 2006 at 7:00 PM at the Fayston Town Hall. Future newsletters will be sent via e-mail. Please e-mail Tony Amenta at vastridgerunner@gmail.com if you would like our electronic newsletter. We will continue to send newsletters via snail mail fo those who do not want e-mail.

Everyone is encouraged to bring something to the hot dog roast and we do plan on having vegan soy dogs on the menu.
