We have about 6 Killington Vouchers left up for grabs @ $45 each.  We also have
2 tickets for Sugarbush available if you would like them too! First come first served.
Email me at andy@... and let me know your needs.
 
If you think you're going to have EXTRA vouchers, email me as well, I'll put you in
touch with interested buyers. Remember - you MUST return unused vouchers to me
by May 1st or I cannot give you a refund. Killington's rules - not mine. Sorry.
 
*3-Day Learners Package for sale! Contact grace@...

This 3-day package can be taken on separate, non-consecutive days making it
our recommended program for the best learning advantage.  Assuming you might be
visiting for a weekend, you can utilize two of the three days that weekend, then you
have up to one full year from the date of purchase to utilize the third day.  Includes
rentals, lifts, and lessons. Its a great deal for the beginner skier!

Your Friendly Bartender Happy Hour - March 25th, 2004
We'll be guest bartenders for the night.  All tips to benefit STRIDE.ORG!
This is our THIRD ANNUAL fundraiser for STRIDE. Please give generously.

Trinity Public House
2
29 E 84th ST. (2nd 3rd Aves.)
Upper East Side 212-327-4450
Thursday, March 25th 7-10 PM

The halfway-down-the-block location lends a sense of refuge from the standard Upper
East Side intersection with a bar at each corner. Trinity feels secluded, while friendly
service and an active jukebox generate a college feel; signs for patron ski trips capitalize
on it.

  • A short presentation about Stride.org by two of their volunteers
  • Please bring your checkbook and give generously. Its a great cause!
  • We'll be having a raffle for LOTS of great stuff at the end of the night.
  • Drinks - All tips will be donated Directly to Stride. Tip your bartenders!

The Elections are Coming ! ! !

No, not in November - In May.  Nominations due by April 15th.

At the end of the season, we'll have elections for next year's club officers.
If you'd like to run for one of these glorious positions - email me and you'll
be added to the ballot. Voting begins on May 1st and ends on May 15th.

President - You get to show up at all the events and tell people about the
club! Worth the job for the free drinks alone! - I'll be fighting you for this one.

Vice President - You get to show up at all the events that the President can't.
Plus you get to do the President's job should they be assassinated, impeached 
|for improper conduct with an intern, or just generally unavailable.

Membership Coordinator - Keeps track of all our members, and finds ways to
recruit more - we've got 467 and counting. That's 750% more than last year. You
get to do some advertising and marketing work, and go to lots of social events.

Benefits Coordinator - You get to interface with people in the full spectrum of
the ski industry ( manufacturers, shops, resorts, tour operators) and get them to
give us stuff. Sounds hard? Its not. To tell you the truth, its one of the most fun
jobs we've got out there...

Social Coordinator(s) -  Okay, the second most fun job we've got is to put together
things for us to do. Charity Events, Recreation, Social Activities, and my favorite -
Happy Hour. You get to work with our partner groups, Dynamic Outdoors, Manhattan
Network, Murphguide, and First Thursday's. Nonstop fun and socializing.

Race Coordinator - You get to organize and train with our team for the annual
Metro New York Ski Council Race in January 2005. Running since 1934, We
compete against all the other clubs in the Metro New York area. Our first year we
had a bronze medalist. This year we had a double gold winner in the Women's and
double silver winner (It's ME!) in the Men's. Help us CRUSH the competition!

Website Coordinator - We've got a website that needs constant updating. Plus a
calendar that goes year-round. If you've got the skills, come show us your stuff...

Group Leaders - We're always looking for people to lead trips. Its a lot of work,
but there are alot of rewards. (Did I mention the free ski trips? )
If you're interested in being a group leader, we'll add you to our list.

If you're interested, send email to info@... and don't forget to vote on May 1!
