Sunday, Dec. 31st 2006 - The 2007 Jackrabbit & Bunnyrabbit programs are full and registration is closed. The number of spaces in all ski programs is limited by the number of adults who volunteer to act as program leaders. Due to the lack of any more adult volunteer group leaders we cannot accept any more children in the Jackrabbit and Bunnyrabbit programs. The club provides adult leaders with the training required for this activity. You don't have to be a great skier, just willing and able to show up every Saturday afternoon for ten weeks and lead a group of eager youngsters. If you are interested in being a Jackrabbit or Bunnyrabbit group leader please contact Dev Paul , the club Jackrabbit program coordinator, or any member of the club executive, by email from the club contact page.
