UPDATED: Huron Meadows Groomer Appreciation Party - Noon
|
| Where: |
Huron Meadows Metropark, Brighton, MI
|
| What: |
UPDATE:We
will be changing the party location and holding it outdoors, weather
permitting, in the Sunset Picnic area. This is located just before the
clubhouse on the left side of the road as you're heading into the park. This location upgrade will allow us to BYOB! So plan on sharing that nice bottle of Merlot or craft beer that you bring.
-------------
The 4th annual Huron Meadows Groomer Appreciation party will take place March 17th at the Huron Meadows clubhouse at 12:00 .
This will be our opportunity to thank the Huron Meadows staff for their
hard work throughout the year. If you plan on attending, please RSVP to
[email protected] by March 15th.
To
state the obvious, the snow this winter was horrible, but that doesn’t
mean that our groomers still didn’t work hard for us. This year saw the
addition of a huge asset for the Nordic community; snow making. It took
great effort to get our fledgling snowmaking operation running. That
development alone is reason enough to celebrate.
Because of
snowmaking we were still able to have a race at Huron Meadows, and other
great events. The contributions from our friends at the Washtenaw Ski Touring Club continue, Team NordicSkiRacer and the addition of SELCRA (Southeastern Livingston County Recreation Authority) has helped grow youth participation.
None
of this would have been possible without the selfless dedication of our
groomers. The groomers are a bit like firemen. Not only did they have
to work to prepare for the ski season, but they have to be on call every
day in the event they are needed.
So, just because we didn’t have great snow this year, it doesn’t mean that our debt of gratitude is any less.
Here’s the plan. Lunch at Huron Meadows Clubhouse March 17th at noon .
Please be prepared to pay $8 a person for lunch. This will hopefully
cover our cost and help pay for the annual “surprise” gift. Any donation
beyond that would be appreciated. Any amounts collected above costs
will be donated back to Huron Meadows.
This is our turn to say thank you. Your participation and support are always appreciated. Please RSVP by March 15th at 5:00. Again, RSVPs should be sent to [email protected]. Please include the number of people planning to attend.
