When ASC hosts races there is a great deal of behind-the-scenes planning.  We very much need our members help with planning our 2018/19 winter race calendar. Some logistics we will be starting the process for include...

*Obtaining permits for races.

*Contacting donors for prizes.

*Finding volunteers to help our events run smoothly.

You do not have to be experienced in any of these areas to help...just wiliing and reliable! The more we can divide up the work the better. 

Thank you 49th State Brewing for providing a fun location where we can meet! We will be meeting in the Private Dining Room upstairs. Just let the hostess upfront know that you are with the Anchorage Skijor Club. 

If you are attending this year's Dog Jog don't forget to visit our booth! We will have skijor lines for sale as well as books and other ASC gear. Hope to see you there!
