NOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT April 2019 Hello Club members and friends, In February some of our members and friends enjoyed the trip to Snowmass/Aspen. In March, some of our members (including me) enjoyed a trip to Big Sky Montana. For Big Sky we didn't have any new snow, but we had fabulous sunshine for 5 out of 6 days. So much fun was had. Now we've got our Mount Tremblant trip coming up. Last time I was there, most everyone wanted to go back again. So wish us well and fun! Reminder: We have Board Elections coming up. Elections are in APRIL. You'll be able to vote online or at the April meeting on the 16th. PLEASE only vote once. Thanks. See Newsletter for candidates. Spring banquet on May 4th at Holiday Inn. See flyer in the Newsletter. Come on out and celebrate the end of one season and the start of another! Nice low price. AND you can do it online!!! Remember to hand out the GE Ski Club cards. If you want some cards, let me know. Maybe, Bring a friend and introduce them to the meeting.
