2 The Prez Sez: Its hard to believe that it is almost February already. Time does fly. On a positive note, my ski season has been off to a great start. I was fortunate to be able to travel to Cervinia, Italy for a wonderful European vacation with fantastic views of the Matterhorn from both Italy and Zermatt, Switzerland. We even checked off a bucket list item (not high on the list) by staying in an igloo for a night. Although it was very, very cold, the nighttime hot tub warmed up our cores and the picturesque landscapes were only outdone by the absolutely incredible star-lit skies. At 10,000 feet and no light pollution, the sky is indescribably beautiful. The igloo stay might be a once and done, but the nighttime sky scene is definitely one to repeat. I hope your ski season is off to a great start, too. Our club has many trips to still go out this season and there are seats available for most. Sign up for a trip before you miss out on the fun. If Nastar racing is something you enjoy or you have never done but would like to try, join us on February 12 for our annual Club Race. This will be Gee s 30th year of organizing this event and she always does a fabulous job. You can participate or just cheer on the racers as they compete to keep the Troeg s Challenge Cup in Lancaster s hands. Either way, you are sure to enjoy a great day on the hill. Our February membership meeting will be held on the 16th at Loxley s in Centerville. The evening s program will feature the Jack Kalasky Memorial Auction to benefit Special Olympics. Please come out on the 16th and Bid! Bid! Bid! All of the proceeds are going to a very worthy cause. If you have items to donate for the auction, please contact Gee Kalasky or Kathy Burnett for additional information. Jessica has been busy, busy, busy planning the Spring Dance for April 22 at Meadia Heights. Everything is lined up and she has some great deals on tickets, especially if you get together with friends and purchase an entire table. This is definitely an event you want to be sure to attend and worth the effort to plan ahead. As always, I am looking forward to seeing all of you in the near future.

Applications postmarked prior to the opening date are invalid and will be returned. Hand-delivered applications will be recorded after postmarked ones of that same date, in the order that they are received. Metered, uncanceled and illegibly postmarked mail will be considered as postmarked the day before delivery. C. If there are more applications with the same postmark than available spaces, a lottery system will be utilized.

THE SPECIAL OLYMPIANS ARE COUNTING ON YOU, SO DON'T LET THEM DOWN! How? Whenever and wherever you go out to EAT OR DRINK, speak with the manager and ask for a gift certificate to benefit SPECIAL OLYMPICS. Wherever you shop, also ask for a gift certificate. Businesses are usually very generous when they know it is for a good cause and they see you as a customer. Also, check around the house and closets for clean, lightly used items that can be donated to the auction. Those old straight skis can be made into shot-skis or hung on the wall in your man cave. Then send a list of each item you plan to donate, along with their respective retail values, to Kathy Burnett at kcburnett@dejazzd.com by Monday, February 13, After Kathy gets your list, she inventories and numbers each item, which is very time consuming, so please give her as much time as possible. Next just bring your items to the auction on February 16th and Kathy will give you numbers for your items. Then on auction night, just sit back and enjoy one of the best LSC events of the year. Easy! Various items are anticipated to be up for bid, including lots of side cut and cross country skis, ski clothes, shot skis, restaurant gift cards, hosted dinners, a boating excursion, and much more! Many thanks go out to Kathy Burnett for all her hard work as auction coordinator, especially since it is during her very busy tax season. See you at the auction at Loxley s!
