President's Column 1 Happy Hours 2 Birthdays 2 Membership Form 3 Sly Fox Trip List 4 Marquette Info 5 Friends of Foxes Rewards 5 Copper Mountain Info 6 Sly Fox Sign-up Form 7 GSC Trip List 9 GSC Trip Sign-up Form 10 Hi Everyone, The season is in full swing and we are starting into the month of February. We have a great trip to Marquette Mountain on Feb. 15-17. Our Trip leader is Dar Kramer and she has been the trip leader for that trip before. It is packed full of everything most could want. We may even venture to downtown Marquette to enjoy the festivities of the Dog Sled Race weekend. I have been told that there will be entertainment at most of the establishments there. There are openings on the trip and we ask that you sign up as soon as you can. That really helps the trip leader with all the plans for the weekend, especially the beverages & subs on the trip up. See the Newsletter for further details. We have completed our first weekend trip to Big Snow Country, January 11-13. We all had a great time, a little icy on Saturday but Sunday was fabulous. Both Indianhead & Blackjack did a great job but on Saturday night we were hoping for a Packer win. That didn t happen but there is next year. Lisa Belau, the trip leader did a great job and a big thanks to Lisa along with her husband Curt for lending a hand. This brings me to the next subject, ski equipment and luggage. After the last person left & the bus departed in De Pere, there was a loose pair of ski boots and luggage left in the parking lot. Luckily, one had a name and we contacted him to claim it. The trip leader Lisa had to send an email to find the owner of the boots. Please folks, to make sure you protect your expensive equipment, we now must require all equipment be in bags with appropriate name tags on them. Also, all of your luggage, backpacks and any other items you bring on the trip, must have appropriate name tags on them as well. Our trip leaders work very hard to create a great trip for all of us and we can help them out a lot by making sure they do not have to find the owners of lost items or someone ending up with the wrong bag. I do want to thank all of the members that do pitch in to help load and unload the bus and assist the trip leader. That s what makes this club special, great members like all of you. Bonjour, Deb President s Column Bram s Ski Trails
