Baller Keith_Menard Posted October 4, 2021 Baller Share Posted October 4, 2021 This year marks the 5th anniversary of losing my Mom to Glioblastoma...a cancer I know touched a lot of people here. Our 2nd Annual "SWATERSKI" Event is Saturday, November 27th (Black Friday Weekend!) and will feature brave skiers tackle ice-cold water and snow as we tackle both water skiing in Webster Lake followed by Snow Skiing at @wachusettmtn. This years event will raise money for National Brain Tumor Society and the Webster Dudley Food Share. Donations of non-perishable foods will be taken at the water-ski portion at Point Breeze. Swaterski is open to ALL skiers from any club and organization. We also want to take this NATIONAL this year with skiers participating virtually. Last year, we had skiers from Florida, Maryland and Utah ski at their home ponds and help raise money! Our first event last year blew us away - as we raised over $14,000 for the National Brain Tumor Society! We hope to exceed this goal this year! Skiers can sign up at https://WebsterWaterSki.org/Swaterski If you wish to sponsor a skier you can donate at https://WebsterWaterSki.org/SponsorASkier We are a 501©(3) organization and all donations are tax-deductible.

Baller rfa Posted November 26, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 26, 2021 I heard about the "docktastrophe" @Keith_Menard. Sorry. As you may know, I sponsored the younger Menard, instead of his Dad...had to go with talent... haha. Hope the weather will cooperate next Saturday . Good luck and Enjoy!

Baller PatM Posted November 27, 2021 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2021 This gives me one more week to think about going over there to ski … or just give a donation and watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Keith_Menard Posted November 30, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted November 30, 2021 @rfa Thank you very much! It was the metric comments that 'docked' me the donation, right? :) @Mastercrafter We put the docks in thinking they just had to hang out for a week and there was no boat traffic, so we didn't anchor them into the ground that much. Then a wind storm came. @Ali It isn't going to feel pleasant :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
