NCO SILENT AUCTION

The National Capital Outaouais Ski Team (the 'NCO') is 
holding its annual live and silent auction at the Jim 
Durrell Centre on the evening of Saturday, November 1st. The 
NCO is a development ski team composed of the best regional 
athletes at the juvenile (K2) and junior (FIS) levels.  The 
team represents the Ottawa and Gatineau regions at many 
provincial and national competitions
 
The auction is the major annual fundraising event for the 
team.  This year items up for bid include ski equipment, 
clothing and accessories, tickets to Senators hockey games, 
golf passes and equipment, bicycles, tennis equipment, 
electronics, NAC tickets, restaurant gift certificates, 
antiques, lots of fashion items....  the list goes on and 
on.  It is a great place to do your Christmas shopping  AND 
SKI PURCHASES as most items sell for a fraction of their 
retail price.   
 
Tickets to the event are $5.00 each, and each ticket has a 
stub on it entitling the holder to $10.00 off any purchase 
of $50.00 or more at all Tommy + Lefebvre stores.  The event 
starts at 6:00 p.m.  The address of the Jim Durrell Centre 
is 1265 Walkley Road, Ottawa. 
 
To purchase tickets, please contact Sam Armstrong 
sam@schleich-s.com.
 
As a fellow Ultimate player both Alexandra and myself hope 
you will support this effort by at least buying a ticket and 
more importantly buying some great stuff at the auction.

Hope to see you there.
 
Sam Armstrong  

P.S.  The kids are training in Tignes, France as we speak!
