Hot Topics

Halloween Party on October 23 at
Ypsi Freighthouse

Our Halloween Party is:

    Thursday, October 23, 7-10 pm
    at the Ypsi Freighthouse, 

    100 Market Pl, Ypsilanti, MI 48198

Join us for:

  • Food (chili and more) 
  • Beverages
  • Dancing to the band 'The Invasion'
Costumes encouraged, but not required.

Note: The Invasion is Detroit's premium British Invasion genre band. Jim, Ron, David, Mike and Charlie were drawn together from a love of the music from the other side of the pond that came to us here in the 1960s. All 5 members of the band sing tight, well-crafted harmonies. Add to that expert instrumentation on era inspired gear, the best of the music of that magical decade and you have The Invasion's formula for a good time.

Please sign up here to help!

$5 for members, $20 for guests.

Alpine Ski Trip Planning for 2027

Anyone who would like to help plan or lead alpine ski trips in 2027, please contact Jim Kelly. Our planning starts now.

SOS Outreach Winter Clothing Drive

To those of you who have old ski clothing that you'd like to donate to this worthy cause, bring it with you to the Halloween party, and I'll deliver it to Brighton for you. (Should fit kids age 14-18). Thanks in advance for your generosity...
