		<description><![CDATA[Support the Middlebury Women's soccer program! We're excited to set off, with your help, on a meaningful, fulfilling, and fun trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina this May. The ten day journey will combine soccer training and match play, community service, and cultural events to create a memorable experience for our players and the people we meet there.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The goals of the trip are:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Learn from the Argentinean soccer culture</strong>, in order to further refine our unique style of play</p>
<p><strong>Experience the social culture</strong> and learn about the country’s history and traditions</p>
<p><strong>Give back to the communities we visit</strong>, by reaching out to underserved girls who do not have access to the same soccer opportunities that their male counterparts have while growing up. Through prearranged service events, this trip will move beyond the traditional “soccer and sightseeing” model to establish a deeper, more meaningful connection with the people we meet.</p>
<p><strong>Have a great Team trip!</strong> While social bonding is important, it is the task-oriented bonding that will benefit our players next season and throughout their lives. Our players have ownership of the planning, fundraising, and implementation of this trip from start to finish, creating a learning experience that will bring the group even closer to face future challenges.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Support the Middlebury Baseball spring training trip. In late March we will travel to Arizona, and once again we are looking for your help in making this possible. As many of you know first-hand, this trip is one of the highlights of the season. While the Middlebury ground is covered in snow and ice, we will be playing on great facilities in perfect baseball weather. Beyond the clear weather advantages, this is a time when the team pulls together as we prepare for the challenging conference schedule. We are planning to play a double header every day as we lead up to our three game series with Williams. Thank you for your continued support!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Support the Middlebury Women's Lacrosse spring training trip!  The team will be traveling to Connecticut to play Wesleyan, to Pennsylvania to play Gettysburg, to New Jersey to play Stevens, and finally all the way up to Maine to play Bowdoin.  We are very excited to play and stay in historic Gettysburg, as well as connect with our New York/New Jersey alumni during our Stevens game.  As always, our goal is to keep our player contribution costs low, and this is an expensive trip, so any help you can give will be much appreciated.  Thank you so much for your continued support!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Support the Middlebury Women's Tennis spring training trip. As the team works to improve and aims to get back to the NCAA tournament, we know that our trip out west this March will be a very big piece of building towards that goal. During this week-long trip to Claremont, CA, we will play five warm-up matches against great opposition. More than the matches, this trip is the perfect opportunity for the team to come together as a group and realize how much they enjoy the process of trying to be the best. Thank you for your continued support!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to our alumni, parents and friends, last year we smashed our fundraising goal $18,000 and raised $$21,000.  The actual trip cost is $51,000 so please continue to support the team with your gifts. This trip is incredibly valuable for our athletes as they prepare for the spring season. Every dollar we raise will keep the trip costs as low as possible for each athlete, but they need your help. Any donation that you can make will make a difference. Thank you for your continued support and please let me know if you have any questions.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial">On Saturday April 20, we would like to gather with alumni, parents and friends after our home meet with UVM and Plattsburgh St. This will be a fun day to route for the Panthers and reconnect with student-athletes, friends and coaches.</span><a href="http://sites.middlebury.edu/middgoal/files/2012/01/DSC_2081.jpg"><br />

		<description><![CDATA[Support the Men's Rugby Club. Because we are a club sport rather than a varsity team, we must rely heavily on our alumni, parents and friends for financial support. The money we raise helps us to provide a quality coaching staff, one that is invested in success both on and off the pitch. We appreciate your gift, no matter the size. This is, after all, a team effort. Thank you for your continued support.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year marked an important turning point in what has become an impressive rugby tradition here at Middlebury.  In just our second year competing at the division I-AA level we have been crowned East Coast Rugby Conference champions!  Finishing the season ranked 14<sup>th</sup> in the nation, we have qualified for the USA Rugby national championship and your support is greatly appreciated, now more than ever.  You should be proud, as we are, at the character our boys displayed time and again while completing the most historic season in our clubs history</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Please support the Men’s Tennis spring training trip. We are thrilled with where we are headed and this annual spring training trip provides us a critical early season opportunity to play our entire team in a number of matches against high quality opponents. Even more important than the competition is the opportunity to lay the foundation for a successful season as we build our team strength and bonds.  This is clearly a team we can all be very proud of! Thank you for your continued support.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We want the Middlebury family to celebrate being the one of the best tennis programs in the country.  We hope that you will consider joining us by coming to a match, following our progress on our <a href="http://middtennisnation.blogspot.com">blog</a>, joining our “Adopt an Alum” program, or by making a gift.</p>
