Forecasters warned heavy rains could impact
the annual Jack Williams Ski Race for Wednesday's Child at Waterville
Valley, NH. But when the racers and volunteers gathered at the mountain
that Saturday morning, March 8th, the sun was shining and the skies
were blue. The snow was perfect, and people came to help Wednesday's
Child, and were rewarded with perfect snow conditions. A half hour after
the last racer crossed the finish line the dreaded rains finally started,
but by then every thing was set.

Families crowded into the White
Mountain Conference Center that afternoon and partied into the
night. Wendy's presented a check for $220,000, raised by the sale
of one-dollar coupon books with the proceeds going to Wednesday's
Child. Volvo helped us raise $150,000 by giving us an XC 90 SUV
that was raffled off by selling $100 a chance tickets. The winner
was Arthur Baker, of Falmouth, Ma. Also thanks to American Airlines,
Yankee Magazine, Coors Light, Waterville Valley, WBZ-TV, WBZ radio,
Clark Appliances, and Dr. Pepper.
