A Special December Message From the President

Dear Ann Arbor Ski Club Member-- and Guests!

Wednesday December 5th is our final General Meeting and party before the New Year.  This is our annual Christmas-Plus Holiday party.  It is also a charity event honoring “Toys for Tots.”  We are suggesting a donation at the door from everyone-- guests and members-- of either an unwrapped toy OR $5.  The live music we'll hear is thanks to “Soul What”  a band that graciously donated their fee to the children as well.

The event will be at Cobblestone Farm from 7:30 to 10:30 pm.  The club is providing beer, wine, soft drinks and deluxe snacks.  Some very brief announcements at 7:30 will precede the party that starts by 7:45!

Shanty Creek Ski Trip Sign-ups  This will be the last meeting where you can sign-up for the Shanty Creek ski trip on the weekend of Jan 11.  We have 15 people signed-up so far.  Please note that we will NOT be running the bus on this trip as originally planned.  As a result, the trip's price has been lowered by $40.  Those that have already paid will be getting that amount refunded.

Terrace Inn Sign-ups  There are still some rooms available for the Terrace Inn trip the weekend of Feb 1.  This will be the last meeting where you can sign-up.  Sign-ups via US mail may continue for a couple more weeks as long as there is space.

Steamboat Springs Colorado Sign-ups  This trip was full, but two people had to drop.  So, we currently have openings for a single man and a single woman.  The two other Western trips-- Aspen and Sun Valley-- are each full with short waitlists.

AASC Volunteer Rewards Program  The program to reward members who donate their time toward helping the ski club operate is being revised and reintroduced.  There will be a brief announcement at the meeting.  Then look to our web site by week's end for new information. 

As always, THANK YOU to all that volunteer and help keep our club running!

I hope to see as many of you as possible at Cobblestone Farm on Wednesday!  And I wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season!

Greg Robertson
President, Ann Arbor Ski Club
