PRESIDENT’S CORNER
UPCOMING EVENTS
It's here, it's here!! "What?", you may ask? The second most exciting time of the year for SSC members, that's what! It's trip signup time. This issue
contains details on our seven major 2013 ski trips.
We'll start accepting applications for these trips at
our June 30 picnic, or by mail postmarked no earlier than June 23. "What's the most exciting time of
the year for SSC members?", you ask. If you don't
know, you've not been on one of our ski trips yet!!
Trip articles in this issue include estimated trip
prices – these may change by the date of the picnic
as more information comes in. One thing I've been
asked to warn all of you about… the possibility of
fuel surcharges being levied by the airlines. We
hope this won't be necessary, but please be aware
that air prices are always subject to change until
ticketed. We'll continue to do our best to shop for
the best prices until it's time to lock and load….
If you're good at reading between the lines,
you've already realized that our Board has selected
a new membership meeting and board meeting
location – Gullifty's Underground. We're returning
to this venue once again! We hope you like it!
Last but not least, please start recruiting new
and expired members to join SSC. Without increasing our membership over 2011-12 levels, we'll unfortunately have to eliminate or substantially modify club benefits we have all enjoyed
for years!
