Theresa Meadows - President
Welcome Skicousi members to another great
snow season. Wax up your boards/skis, stretch
your legs and let’s hit the slopes!
Our trips to Mont-Ste-Anne and Aspen are both
filling up fast. There is also the annual ski
and social at Ellicottville, which is always a
blast. We have the best club ever!
Our Board members are a joy to collaborate
with and we are marketing ourselves well to
attract new members which will make Thursdays even more fun.
Lucy updates the website, keeping it easy to use and informative, so
please check it each week through January and February for
Thursday ski day updates.
A bit of history to share here. This coming winter is our 45th
anniversary and we are looking for old photos and stories which we
can publish on our website. Anything from 1970’s - 80’s - 90’s….
would be very welcome.
For those who finish their ski day early, we are bringing cards for
who ever wants to play. Off the record, a group of us usually go to
Jozo's bar for apres ski and listen to the band. We would love for
you to join us. Signing off, your New President - Theresa Meadows.
