Hi everyone,
Thanks for a great first week! … and we’ve already had a snow day!!

For those concerned about the whereabouts of Ski-ter (our one-eyed monster TA mascot), his disappearance from the workout on Thursday has been tweeted on the CNSC twitter account so maybe he will be returned to us (fingers crossed!).

On to this week, lots to talk about:

Monday: Meet at Centennial Park. Dress for the weather and bring a water bottle and a holder if you have one

Thursday: Rollerskiing, CNC. Bring your bike helmet, ski boots (skating or combi), rollerskis if you have them, and water. Time to pull out your ski equipment now after you finish reading this to see what fits and what doesn’t!

Important things that need your attention this week:

1. Registration: Monday Sept15th is the second and last session to try TA. If your child wants to join TA and is not signed up please register them by Wednesday Sept 17th as we will close registration at 10pm that day.

2. Parent meeting: Monday September 22nd. 5-6pm. Drop off your child at TA and then we will have the annual start of TA meeting (Location at CNC TBD) where parents get the details of the TA parent volunteer commitment, race schedule and major events on the TA calendar, philosophy of the program etc.. One parent from each family should attend even if your child has been in the program for one or two years already.

2. The annual fall camp for the TA program is planned for Oct.4-5th Yeah!!
What: Come and join your TA friends for a super fun weekend at Camp Chief Hector. Rollerskiing ( TA only), EPIC animal game, hiking, campfire and hanging out with all your TA buddies. Always a highlight on the TA calendar!
When: October 4-5 (9am sat to 2pm Sunday, Intro start at noon Saturday)
Cost: approx. $90 – $20 subsidy from CNSC = $70/child ( participants to be billed after the camp).
Sign up on the doodle (link here: http://doodle.com/4nkhzynu8vk96znd) because we need to know numbers by Tuesday September 23 . Adult supervision by Rhonda and other TA coaches. More info about it at start of Monday’s (sept 14) session for new parents and also at parent meeting next week.

4. Club hike: Saturday, September 27th. We will do Tent Ridge in Kananaskis. This is a hike for TA as well as all the older kids in T1/T2, LC1 and LC2. Parents and siblings welcome. TA kids should be with an accompanying adult. We will do the hike in the opposite direction from the older kids and meet them on the ridge then hike back together.

Ok phew!! You made it to the bottom of the post (I promise most will be waayyy shorter than that).

See you soon,
Rhonda
