Stand Tall and tell your friends and neighbors that you belong to the BEST SKI CLUB AROUND...the NEWARK SKI CLUB! Put-in-Bay Tina Efaw The Put-in-Bay trip has been canceled. As many of you already know, there are several health issues going on at Put-in-Bay. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has declared the water from the wells used by Saunders Cottages unsafe for drinking and even for bathing. Saunders is closed and is canceling all clients until further notice. This cancellation is actually a relief as we were concerned about running the trip and potentially putting our members at risk of illness from exposure to the water. Those signed up for the trip will be contacted individually to determine how to refund their money. Ginny Young and Jim Proctor -- September , 2004 The departure date for Europe is quickly approaching. If you haven t already done so, make sure that you get your passport early.

We have rooms reserved for approximately 40 people. The cost is $95.00 per person. This price will include breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings as well as a few snack items for our partying Friday and Saturday evenings. We should once again be able to get reduced rate ski passes.
