Wow! Our summer activities are really keeping us hopping - Lookouts night (thank you, Bob Tramel); the lake party (thank you, Beth and Mike Rawlston, Jinksie and a host of others); and the upcoming Hiwassee paddle day and potluck dinner (thank you, Cindy and Neil Gawlowsk). Before we can catch our breath, we’ll be packing and preparing for the Bardstown bourbon tour, Len Foote Hike Inn and Halloween party. Barb Wise, thank you for your leadership and inspiration for these great non-skiing activities that help make our club so meaningful.
All the while, our ski trips and Portugal trip are filling up nicely. If you have not locked in your place on these trips - get in touch with trip leaders soon!
Opportunities to Get Involved
Our club thrives because of the energy and commitment of its members. There are countless ways to get involved: join a committee, lead a trip, help organize an event, or simply share your love of skiing with others. Volunteering is not only rewarding but a great way to meet fellow enthusiasts and give back to the community that supports us all.
We are actively seeking volunteers for upcoming trips, mentors for new members, and creative minds for all sorts of things. If you have ideas for new events, workshops, or ways to improve the club, please reach out to any board member. Remember that board meetings are open to members - just let an officer or committee chair know you are interested in being included in the meeting plans.
And finally -
It is my hope is that each member finds something meaningful through our club - be it the thrill of a new run, the joy of teaching a friend, a hike, a day on the river, just meeting for dinner - the warmth of community with club friends.
The loss of our dear friend, Bebe Eyssen leaves a hole in our hearts. It brings the realization that tomorrow is not promised. We should make the most of each day.
Thank you for entrusting me with the role of president; I am honored to serve alongside capable and dedicated friends.
Warm regards,
Hilda Jones,
President
