​Dear New England Nordic Community,

Flying Further is pleased to be holding its second annual Christmas Nordic Combined Camp at the Proctor/Blackwater Ski Area on Sunday and Monday, December 29th and 30th. The main focus of the camp is Nordic Combined but we are also encouraging special jumpers and cross-country skiers to participate in the camp. The camp is open to all ages and all abilities. We plan to use all the jumps for the camp which are the k10, K18, K30, and K38 as long as Mother Nature cooperates.

The coaches for the camp are: Walter Malmquist and Tom Oddy on the K10 and K18 and Chris Jones and Chip Henry on the K30 and K38. Maddy Pfeifer will be the cross-country coach.

So close...

We are $2,347 away from hitting the match requirement that will bring in an additional $50,000.
In late November we wrote to you reporting we had $23,000 to raise.  So many people responded and together we've closed that gap to $2,347. If you've contributed already, thank you!  If you've been meaning to contribute, now's the moment!  
You Have Our Trust Fund of the NH Charitable Foundation has offered us a challenge grant where they will donate $50,000 to CLSRT if we can raise $50,000 by December 31, 2019.
Be a part of this amazing community effort.  Your gift to the trail in any amount makes such a difference.  And the feeling you'll have knowing you made this trail happen is incredible.

It's Giving Tuesday
You, your friends, and community members from the region and beyond are creating an Amazing Rail Trail.  Donate this Giving Tuesday to keep it going.
What makes the Concord-Lake Sunapee Rail Trail so special?
We didn't have a state owned railroad corridor to build on - so your neighbors started donating easements so the trail could be built.
We couldn't afford paid management - so your neighbors donated their time and expertise to get easements written, organize projects, rally community support, and get ready to build. 
We didn't have huge grants to get us started - so you and your neighbors donated the money to get us started.
To keep construction costs low we asked for volunteer help.  Again you and your neighbors stepped in and contributed your time, materials and equipment.
And now that we are working on larger projects an anonymous donor has challenged us to raise $50,000 and they will match it.  Amazing!  
This truly is a project that is succeeding because you, your neighbors and all of us in the community believe in the vision of a 34 mile rail trail connecting Concord, Hopkinton, Warner, Sutton, Bradford and Newbury.
We continue to raise funds to build this 2.5 mile section of trail in Concord from Carter Hill Rd to Fisherville Rd.  We have support from the Bureau of Trails, New England Grassroots Environmental Fund, Central NH Bicycle Coalition, Runners Alley, Bangor Savings Bank, and Goodales Bike Shops.  But we need more to get the job done. We've been clearing brush all fall and working to establish parking on Fisherville Rd. We are trying to have this open for snowshoeing and X-C skiing and snowmobiling this winter.  
Please donate today.
