President’s Message:
First of all - Where has all the snow gone - Again???? The day we left for Steamboat, CO, you guys had two feet of snow plus, and when we got back, it was all gone.
Speaking of Steamboat, I think I can speak for all that came with us - it was a blast!!! Yes, we had a few glitches because our trip coordinator was not in charge. Some of the things you take for granted were a bit messed up but Bill Doster was able to come to the rescue and mend the broken pieces. “Thank you Bill”, for all of your hard work and extra effort to fix what you did not break in the first place! Great Job!
I would also like to thank everyone that had a hand in our Club Dinner on Thursday night at Steamboat. Pete and Bill for cooking, Sam, Joe, Stanley S., Richie, Stanley K., and Jon L. for offering their condo and homemade Kielbassa, Let’s not forget to mention their homemade 10 year old liquor. It really warmed the cockles of your heart (and everything else)! We all took pictures, so come to the March meeting to see the gang and the scenery!
Some of us raced, and some of us skied with Billy Kidd - many great memories and stories to tell - come hear all about it!
I would also like to thank Rick Paliuca for putting together a great meeting while I was away. I heard it was a lot of fun for those who came (but not too many of you did) - Wow - the Olympics and a ski/Boarding film - your loss if you missed it!
I also need to remind you artists out there, that our 20th Anniversary Logo contest is coming up very soon. We would like you to have the entries in to Sylvia Nolan by mid March. Look for her address elsewhere in the newsletter.
We will also have some information about the
A big THANK YOU goes out to Michelle and Steve Saulis for their coordination of the event for the Snow Snakes. I hope all had a great time - we usually do - sorry I had to miss it this year!
I also have to remind you to start thinking of whom you want to keep your club going in the years to come. (see 1/475th) April's meeting will be for nominations for club officers. Per our new bylaws, I will be stepping down, and we need to nominate a new President, Vice President, and Secretary. We have told Sam that his is Treasurer for life, but if there is someone you want to nominate, please do. I also think we need to get some new blood in the Council Rep positions. We need a total of 4 reps and one alternate.
Well, there is a lot going on, and more items in the newsletter for information on the rest of the season, so read on (it really is not over)!
THINK (AND PRAY FOR) SNOW!!!
