  The annual extravaganza known as The Corn Roast will probably be held again this year in Washtenaw County!   

  Send us your suggestions on where, 
  (with pros and cons enumerated please.)
  (That means numbered, Ohioans.)

  Come enjoy the kick-off event of our ski year.

  If it happens it will probably go like this...

  • There will be food, games, music and corn! 
  • The BOD will supply, in addition to grilled corn, grilled hot-dogs and chips, kegged beer, wine, soft drinks, and water.   Also, supplied by the club is table service-- no need to bring your own kit.
  • Bring a dish to pass.  And, use one of our fired-up grills to cook your own entree.

  Ski Trips will be Opened for Registration

  
  

  Public Welcome!

  Non-members are encouraged to join us at the Ann Arbor Ski Club's biggest event of the year, which draws hundreds of members and friends.  It's an excellent way to learn about our trips, events, and membership.

  -+-

  Costs for members and guests are [conjectural at this point];

  • $5? Entrance Fee to the Corn Roast and possibly,
  • $20? (TBD) Annual Membership Dues for new or renewing members.

  Ohioan, conjectural means we're making intelligent guestimates.

  The Welcome Desk will be ready to take your Renewal Dues.

  You must be 21 or older, or accompanied by
  your parent or guardian to attend the
  A²SC Corn Roast.

  BYOB is nae approved, laddy. The club supplies beer and wine.
