Sit Ski Build on Nov 14, 2009
As many of you know, the Madison Winter Festival started a sit ski program 4 years ago with the support of Don Becker and CXC picked it up this spring at the region-wide level.
CXC is building 250 sit skis which will be distributed to the ski clubs and ski areas around Midwest for free use by individuals with disabilities. The goal is to provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy the sport we all love.
You can learn more about Adaptive Ski Program for individuals with disabilities at this link http://cxcskiing.org/site_pages/adaptive/about.htm.
This Saturday will be second weekend where local high school students will be gathering together to build sit skis. We can use your help to finish up this exciting project. Here is a link to the article from the first sit ski build gathering: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/education/local_schools/article_a56a2314-c108-11de-afa0-001cc4c002e0.html
Location: Isthmus Engineering (come to the side door by the loading dock)
Address: 4035 Owl Creek Drive, Madison, WI 53718
When: Saturday, November 14, 2009
Time: 9am to 3pm
Please let me know if you have any questions, are interested in donating to the program, or would like to volunteer to assist with sit ski lessons this winter.
Thank you,
