There's even buffalo wings and local brews to sample! Also: Providence offers an exciting River Walk and WaterFire, which Alison would also like to check out once in a while. Make plans with Alison to spend a night or two enjoying what Providence, RI has to offer. If you are not familiar with Providence, the group can meet at Alison's place and head out from there.

You can play as long as you want each night (some people arrive at 8pm, some leave at 9pm). Volleyball is back. $30 (check or cash) total for the season, Monday and Wednesday nights, 7:30-10pm (appx), all are welcome. Galvin Middle School, 525 Main St. in Wakefield, MA (out back in the Plansky Gym, entrance near soccer fields). This is an adult continuing education program where beginners are welcome (you will learn as you play). Teams are mixed up every week, basic rules are followed, and games are more fun than serious (this is "recreational", not a "league"). Many people have been attending for years! Meet Your Webmaster there on the first night, or just come along and sign up with Dan Sherman (or Jody) and join in. Dress in appropriate, comfortable gym clothes (the gym is cool in the colder weather, but be ready for hotter temps on warm/hot days), wear sneakers, and bring water. Changing rooms are usually available. Once in a while attendees should help sweep the floor before play and help set up and tear down the nets. No play on school holidays/vacations, snow days, and school special events (you will be notified, make sure Dan gets your e-mail address when you meet up with him at the gym). Directions: Route 128 (95) N or S to Exit 39 (North Ave./Wakefield) At ramp end, turn right if traveling northbound, turn left if traveling southbound. Proceed on North Avenue, approximately 1 7/10 miles through several sets of lights toward Wakefield. After you go through the traffic lights at the train depot, go approximately 2/10 mile, and look to the left for a large soccer field. Take a left at the end of the chain link fence just before the DPW building. Walton Field (big soccer field) will be on your left and Plansky Gym is there on the right (the name is over the entrance doors). You do not need to RSVP; just show up and play!

| Hike or Ski Tuckerman Ravine | |
| HIKE OR SKI TUCKERMAN RAVINE - Crawford Notch, NH - 3/28 Date/Time: Sunday 3/28/2010 Contact: Randy Cheyne Status: Running HIKE OR SKI TUCKERMAN RAVINE - Crawford Notch, NH - 3/28 Randy writes: Once again, starting early at the Joe Dodge lodge, hike the Tuckerman Ravine trail to the bowl. Hikers hang out on the rocks and watch the crazies. Skiers/Boards assault the rim and ride down. Steep slopes above the treeline. Best scenery in NH. The hike in is almost 3 miles, mostly uphill. We won't be setting records uphill. Potential weather requires layers, serious preparation. This site describes the area. Weather or dangerous conditions will postpone. Please email the host if you have questions or want to join and get the start time and location.

| Wildcat Wildfire Pentathlon | |
| WILDCAT WILDFIRE PENTATHLON - Glen, NH - 4/17 Date/Time: Saturday 4/17/2010 Contact: Randy Cheyne Status: RSVP WILDCAT WILDFIRE PENTATHLON - Glen, NH - 4/17 Randy is looking for participants! Randy writes: Who wouldn't be interested charging a fun leg of this race? Your choice: 6 mile run, 6 mile white water kayak, 18 mile bike, 2 mile (uphill) hike, 1 mile ski. All positions available, especially the kayak (April, White Mountains). Rules require a coed team. What a great reason to keep those running or gym appointments through the winter. Note: This is NOT the heavier duty Inferno Race held on the same day. I race to complete and have a good time. A better description of the race is here. There is a small entry fee. Please don't make me do this alone! Team naming rights available!
