New Year Newsletter

Happy New Year Gators! Our resolution this year is to keep the Gator fun going despite the not-so-great football season. Just because the days are shorter and the temps are cooler, it doesn’t mean that you have to hibernate. We’ve some great events to kick off the New Year from fun in the snow to a night at the ballet to basketball games. Check out the details below. And congrats to all our members for making the Seattle Gator Club the winner of the new membership drive.

 

SPECIAL EVENTS

 

Feb. 8: Snowshoeing Event

For the third year, we are hosting a Gator Alumni team for the Tubbs Romp to Stomp Snowshoeing Event to stomp out Breast Cancer. The Romp to Stomp is a snowshoe walk that benefits the local Affiliate of Susan G. Komen®. No prior snowshoe experience required. In fact, it’s a great way to try it out for the first time. The walk takes place at Steven’s Pass Nordic Center. Registration is $45 for adults and $30 for children. Register with the Seattle Gators by following this link.
