Having attended the last five Holiday Parties with Craigmeur Ski Club at the Exchange, I can say this last one had the MOST dancing by the MOST people for MOST of the time. DJ Earl offered a great selection with requests from the floor. Thanks to Karen Blaine, we had a circle of fun with individuals strutt’n their stuff! Not only did the dancing make many happy, but the menu was a pleaser, too! Those that chose to stand off on the side lines were having fun watching others enjoy themselves. Plenty of “Grab Bags” made the holiday spirit as well as the “spirit” behind the bar! We totalled almost 50 of good fun loving Craigmeur “family” members. Looking forward to another “dancing” event next year. Watch out for Larry on the dance floor. Yes people, I said Larry actually danced…it was so much fun! (Next year I want to see Hans and Lee step up to the plate. Come on guys….even the Swiss Chef was able to move his feet with some kind of rhythm.) See you on the dance floor next year!
Pictures are on their way…better late than never they say.
The Craigmeur 2009 Holiday Party at the Rockaway Exchange will be held on December 16, 2009. The festivities will commence at 7 pm.

It’s that time again, The Special Olympics are coming and the Winter Games will be happening at Mountain Creek February 2nd and 3rd 2010. It is a great time to give back to the community and help these kids and adults. Both myself and Eric Strand have been volunteering for this event for the past 4 years and find it very gratifying when you see your athlete collect his/her medal on the podium. The event needs volunteers for all positions for 1 or both days, whatever you can give. The application is attached. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any meeting. Please come out and support this event.
Thank You, Roy Spierer
