Holiday Parties Aren't Just For Offices
Thanks to all of you who helped make our second edition of Front Range Holiday Party (With Games) a huge ball of fun to be a part of! Thanks to all the Mountain Division families who attended the first annual Mountain Division Holiday Party. Judging by the pictures, it was more fun than that office party you were supposed to go to...
Members of the Mountain Division show us a different kind of Christmas dance. A lot less formal and a lot more fun!
No holiday ham or fruitcake in sight in this spread!

Michelle and Jennifer gave new meaning to the term "footwork".
Aspen Larson wonders when Santa will show up. Or maybe she's wondering when next year's party will be.
All-American Banquet
Front Range had a large contingent in attendance at the AVCA All-American Banquet held in conjunction with the Final Four. Congratulations again to the Front Range alumnae who were recognized for their accomplishments this season.

Christmas Giving
Thank you to all the families that brought in food items for donation to the Food Bank of the Rockies. Front Range collected more than five boxes of food to be given to needy families over the holiday season.
Thank you to all the athletes for contributing to the happiness of our troops overseas this holiday season. Holiday team pictures were taken and copies were given to each member of the team. The players took the pictures and wrote a message to a solider in Iraq, wishing them well during this time of year. The cards are being distributed through Soldier's Angels, a non-profit organization in Nevada. To read more about Soldier's Angels, click here.
Extra Stuff!
Want to get a certain athlete you love some socks that she may actually like? How about shirts that never go out of fashion (at least in our gym)?. It's too late to order stuff for Christmas, but you can make amends to a Front Range athlete by ordering her extra practice gear, including kneepads and shoes. Pick up an order form at the facility or download a PDF version here. Bring your completed form and money to the facility to place your order.
And Now For Something Completely Different...
Tired of looking up the practice calendar online? As convenient as that is, sometimes you don't want to work that hard, especially if you are tech-saavy. If you are using a calendar program that uses the .ics format such as Apple's iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook 2007, you can subscribe to any of Front Range's online calendar. How to subscribe to a calendar varies from one application to another, but they all require that you enter an URL for the calendar. Here are the URLs for all the Front Range calendars, which you can copy and paste where needed:
