President’s Message

We had a good turnout for our November meeting and those of you who contributed to the Special Olympics are to be commended. We raised $490 at the meeting and with the club match of $250 we have a total of $740 that will go to our new charity. Thank you one and all ! We hope everyone who attends the Snowball will be safe and have a wonderful time. The weather may be bad so cross your fingers. The Telluride trip is full and the Keystone trip needs one more male to even out the roommates. See the trip information on pages 4 & 5. Thanks to Larry Storthz and Jeanette Krohn for hosting the Nov. 23 tailgate at War Memorial. The weather was cold and damp, but a small hearty group showed up and enjoyed the party. We are planning another Buffalo float trip for May 16 & 17th. Linda Frisbee will again be the leader. As we approach this Christmas season may we all have a blessed holiday and safe travel. As always, guests are welcome to visit up to two club meetings per year, so bring a friend and sign them up and we will see you on Dec, 10th ! Please continue to tell the bartender that you are with the Ski Club each time you order anything from the bar. Winter is here, so “Think Snow” (for the ski areas) Mike Graves, President
