Want to be a 
TRIP LEADER?  
Anyone who wants to lead a ski trip, raise your right hand! 
Now don't worry, the only way you can volunteer is to fill out this form. 
Beginner? Not a problem, we'll have you apprentice on one of the trips! 
Intermediate? No sweat, you've done this before.  Give us a jingle and let us know which trip you want. 
Advanced? We probably already know who you are.  How about teaching a beginner the ropes (not tow). 
BENEFIT TO BEING A LEADER: 
Besides a leadership role you  are also entitled to a paid ski trip if the trip has met a minimum number of 20 participants.  On day trips, the bus ride will always be paid for you, as long as the trip is going, you just pay the ski lift ticket.


Next Meeting:

Some words from the Prez.

Dear Members,

I hope you are all enjoying your summer! The trip committee has been hard at work planning for winter and by the looks of it we will have a great season. Our two big trips have been finalized with Aspen scheduled for school vacation week and Big Mountain/Fernie for the ten day trip. Both of these trips will sell out as they have done in the past and I urge you to send in your deposit as soon as possible so you don’t get closed out. The day trips have also been finalized and we have a busy schedule ahead of us. Let’s hope Mother Nature gives us another banner snow year like last year.

We have a summer event planned which is a sailing sunset cruise on September 1st. This will be a first for our club and we anticipate a good showing so get your check to Doug Baker, the trip leader, as soon as possible. See page 7 for all the details.

Please also note that we have a new meeting place and date. We are returning to Jillian’s in North Falmouth which will better suit our needs for space as we continue to grow our club. That move has necessitated changing our meeting day from Monday to Thursday. I hope everyone can join us at our new day and location. Food will be available and Chef Richard Davis the owner was recently featured on national television for his culinary skill on the dinner train from Hyannis.

Lastly I ask all of you to be aware that elections will be coming up soon and we need nominations for officers and volunteers to serve on committees. We are also in need of a treasurer for the club books. Our records are Quicken based and easy to learn.

Looking forward to skiing and boarding with you,

Jack Reardon, President
