Cindy: "Mark, any message this month?"
Mark: "Is it the end of the month again!? Boy, I feel like I'm just sitting on my hands. What can I say?
'Hello Members. We are continuing to monitor 'The Situation' and be ready to address 'Situation Normal' whenever that arrives. In the mean time, we are trying to find ways to get outdoors when possible with reasonable numbers and locales. Keep an eye on the web site, and be safe. ~ Mark' "

Show N Go Events - Easy Peasy! |
|
November can be a beautiful but chilly month in our area. Perhaps you’d like to get out for a simple meet-up with friends for a walk, or a more adventurous hike? This can still happen with appropriate social distancing and cautions, particularly outdoors. How simple it is to think ahead a couple of days, when the weather looks promising, and plan such an activity.
With 8 hours notice, or often less, Cindy will send your details out to the entire membership via an email message. Fun, easy, and even if it the turnout is small, worthwhile.
Keep this in mind as you think of friends and recreation!

CVOA will not be running any major ski trips in 2021. However, as the ski season progresses, there might be some opportunities within driving distance. Perhaps a day trip to Saddleback? Or check out the package below at Smugglers’ Notch Resort. Maybe the Canadian borders will allow a short trip in that direction?
All it takes is for someone to say “hey, let’s go to . . . “, whether it be put together by you, or perhaps Great Events & Escapes. CVOA will promote your trip via our newsletters, or it could be a last minute Show N Go, which can be sent out to the membership. Let Cindy Foster know how we can help.

Smugglers' Notch, Vermont
2-night 3-day lift for $279 pp do
|

From Ben Childs at Smugglers’ Notch:
Hi All,
I am reaching out to see if the CVOA Ski Club or any of your members are interested in coming up to Smugglers’ Notch this winter. I think your club would love our Slopeside lodging and 3 big mountains of skiing. We offer a 2 nights package with a 3 day lift ticket for $279 per person (double occupancy). We also have great early and late season specials.
I can offer group rates to any of your members that want to come visit us this winter. If someone wants to organize a bigger group we can be a little more aggressive on the pricing and we offer comps and perks.
I would love to work with you on a great trip. Thank you.
Cheers,
Ben Childs

We will continue to have just for fun 5 Stand and Trap Shoots into November, weather permitting as long as there is interest.
Shoots and Operating Hours
Check our facebook page for cancellations.
• Five Stand Shoots – Saturdays – 9am until noon, rain or shine
• Trap Shoots – Sundays – 9am to noon, weather permitting
• Trap Shoots – Wednesdays – 10am to noon, weather permitting
• Rifle Range – Every day – Dawn to Dusk

Trap and Five Stand costs $5/round or you may purchase 10 rounds for $40, which will save you $10 and make it easier for us to manage the sign up for the Shoots. Your 10-round punch card can be used for both the Five Stand and Trap Shoots, and can be used for multiple shooters, with no expiration. Such a deal!

"Take A Hike" is in digital format! |
|
Thanks to Sue Strommer, who moved this project forward, the CVOA hiking guide "Take A Hike" is available in digital form as a pdf.
The next phase is to update and expand the contents. Sue would like to hear from any members who can update the current hikes or add hikes to the guide.
So, if you can HELP Sue with this project, please reply to this email, or email cvoa.secretary@gmail.com, or reply to this email, and your message will be forwarded to Sue.
p.s. – How about a “Show N Go” hike from the guide this month?
