TURNER – Leavitt ski team to raise funds with bottle drive The annual Leavitt ski team bottle drive will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3.
Ski team members will be fanning out across Turner, Leeds and Greene to pick up bottles. Folks donating bottles are entered into a raffle for a stay at the Inn by the River at the Forks. There is a separate raffle for cash donors only to win two tickets to one Boston Celtics game, two tickets to one Boston Bruins game and two tickets to one Red Sox game. The drive helps raise money for the Nordic and alpine teams, which require specialized equipment and waxes, as well as travel expenses to cover to be able to work out on snow. The drive also raises money for college scholarships of $500 each for graduating team members. Contact Mark Evans at 314-1769 for more information.
