Congratulations! Last Thursday we raised $2000 for Stride.
STRIDE is a non-profit organization founded 20 years ago by MaryEllen Whitney,
who started the organization as a result of a research project. As a special education
teacher, she found that by getting physically and mentally challenged students involved
in sports that their confidence and spirits improved considerably. This is the third year that the Diamond Dogs have hosted a fundraiser for STRIDE. |

In the Mandarin Oriental Hotel @ The Time Warner Center
8 W 60th St, 35th Fl
New York, NY 10019
The main attraction of this expansive bar, sunken a few steps below the hotel's 35th floor lobby, is its impressive wall of floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a dazzling stretch of Broadway all the way downtown. Leisured visitors and locals--many of whom opt for fur coats in winter--arrange themselves in clusters of cream-colored leather seats, which can be spread out to accommodate large groups.

24 th Annual Bear MountainMogul Challenge - April 3rd 2004
The Twenty Fourth Annual Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge, Presented by
Budweiser, returns to Outer Limits. The steepest mogul slope in eastern North

show their stuff in this inaugural spring event, while spectators relax in the sun
at the bottom of the trail on lawn chairs

coolers in tow, ready to officially celebrate the rites of spring skiing. (Yes, there`s
even a cook-off in the crowd too, complete with trophies.)
Going to be there? Going to be tailgating? Us too! Let us know where to find you!
