BYE NC

Sony Ericsson laid off 450 people in RTP on October 1, I
was one of them.  I have found another job but not in this
area.  I will be moving to the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area and
should start my new job working for REsearch in Motion
early December.

I will greatly miss Panther and all of you.  I think that I have
been skiing Panther about 18 years.  I really enjoyed working with all of you on boat stuff, fixing docks, working
on tournaments, parties, etc.

I will also miss all the people I have met going to the North
Carolina Tournaments.  I hope that I will run into some of
you at the Florida tournaments.

I may be in Men 5 but not ready to give up tournament
skiing yet.

Thank you everyone for your friendship and help, these
have been great 19 years in North Carolina.

THIS ONE'S FOR U DUSIN!

_____________________________________________________________________

The Haley Mitchell Ski-a-thon was held last Saturday on a perfect fall day.  The morning chill burned off to comfortable 70’s and abundant sunshine for the rest of the day.  The atmosphere was as warm, with everybody attending psyched for the great skiing conditions and a successful fundraiser for SMA.

Many good performances were logged for skiers looking to inch up the rankings list before retiring the 2008 season.  Between rounds, everybody enjoyed the food, live music and friendly competition under the silent auction tents.  When Pam tallied up all the donations and pledges at the end of the day, we had raised an astounding $35,500!

Our family and ski club would like to thank each and every person involved for your participation.  Everybody was so willing to give their time, talents and money to make this a success.  We are truly blessed to have you all as our friends.

This tournament is a tribute to many good things.  It shows how a little girl can bring folks together to accomplish something amazing.  It touches each heart and reminds us to appreciate what we often take for granted and it demonstrates how we can utilize the sport we love to help a great cause. 

With Sincere Gratitude,

Jeff and Val.
