CCSS CLUB NEWS
Message from our President, Lois A. Krause:
Well, the season seems to be winding down. Our bus trip to Jay Peak might be the last time on the slopes for many of us - if it was, and you have pre-buy ticket vouchers left - make sure you attend the April meeting (April 19 - 7:30 PM at South Windsor Community Center) to turn them in for credit. Remember, they have to be to Christina Roder by April 29 and/or post-marked by April 26 (if mailed).
Now, speaking of the
I have to get serious now and remind everyone to look elsewhere in the newsletter for descriptions of our open service opportunities for next year (VP - Rick Paliuca is writting it for you to review). I also have to remind you to start thinking of who you want to keep your club going in the years to come. April's meeting will be for nominations for club officers (and other ways to serve). I want to thank Sylvia Nolan and Russ Fisher for running that 1/475th article last month. It explained everyone does not have to do it alone, but we really need to have more people helping out. At the time they were using the number of members at the beginning of this season, but as we close, it was brought to our attention that that number should have been 1/660th (counting the children/juniors). With that many people, taking advantage of the "bennies", we should have more "stepping up" to help out! Think about doing just a piece of a position - my Grandmother used to say, "Many hands make light work", and she was right! Just think about doing a program, or just booking a program, or bringing some snacks for one meeting. We will need some coordination for some summer outtings as well, THINK ABOUT IT - call me or any officer or Council rep. and participate!!
Well, take a look at the rest of the newsletter for more
information about more items, and come
on out to the April meeting to participate and perhaps make suggestions to
"make light work"! At the very
least you will see pictures of

SNOW (or at least THINK SNOW SNAKES)!!!
Message from Bil Doster-Trip Chairman
To All The Participants of the
As Trip Chairman of the Snow Snakes, I want to thank everyone who took part in the Jay Peak Trip. I also want to commend all the parents and young people who attended, on their behavior and skiing etiquette, it was tremendous. I had several comments about how nice it was to see young people behaving and also their ski courtesy on the mountain was well noticed, thank you.
I also want to thank our co-coordinator for this trip Mark Zaza, who I think did a wonderful job contacting, collecting, and keeping all informed on this wonderful trip. As you all know anyone can be a trip co-coordinator on any of our trips that myself and the board have put together, to volunteer (we will give you assistance and direction) just contact Lois Krause or myself. There are some benefits to volunteering, such as contributing your time to the club, usually a free stay if the number of participants reach a certain goal set by the mountains, etc.
In closing, if you had a good time please, tell your friends
who are or are not in our club, what they are missing. Our trips for next year will be voted on at
our May meeting and we would appreciate your input. Yes, we will be going back to
Thanks to All,
