Hi all,
As I sit to write this post, we are one week from our trip to Beaver Creek. Snow conditions are good and more is on the way. With luck, we will get one of those late-season weather systems dropping copious quantities of fresh powder, followed by blue skies. Yup, I want it all! Regardless, we have a good group and we will have a great time. Thank you Ron Quick and Kevin Klasen for all of the work you have put into prepping for the trip.
We are also closing in on our Annual Meeting at our Spring Banquet 6:00 PM April 11, at The Woods. We will have elections for President, Secretary, and Social Events Coordinator. This is your club. Please consider participating as a Board Member or as a Chair to share your ideas to make us better. I started my time on the Board in 2014 and have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know many people through this activity.
Claudia Elsner will be stepping away from her role as our Marketing Chair in a few months. I will miss her knowledge and dedication to raising awareness of Gelandesprung Ski Club. We could use an energetic individual to continue Claudia’s great work. Please make your interest known to us. This is not an elected position and Claudia would be happy to help you get started in this role.
You will also have an opportunity to vote to approve or disapprove our rewritten By-Laws that govern our Club.
Additionally, we will share the details of the policy that would allow a parent or guardian to take an 18-year-old adult on our ski trips, beginning next season. This is a change that has been requested for years by some parents. Our members demonstrated excellent support for this concept with an advisory vote during our Fall Social. The policy includes clear expectations to meet our objective of allowing young adults to participate without creating problems for trip leaders.
Finally, we award the Dick Wortiska Service Award at our Spring Banquet. This award is a very high honor. The first step for this is to have one of our members submit a nomination to the Board. You may email those nominations to me at president@gelandesprung.org. Please review the award guidance in this newsletter.
