Interlaken 2 Wrap-Ups Kathy and I had the opportunity to do a little traveling, visiting and skiing for the last six weeks. We had hoped to miss the terrible Ohio Winter but I understand that this year has been a little bit different. A big Thank You to Tom and le for all your help at the February Texas Two Step meeting. Maybe we can do a repeat sometime. I still have to learn to do that. I am certainly sorry I missed the March Route 40 Roadhouse meeting with Christian and Bambi in command. Thank you very much. You had a great turnout. Once again we have been shown that if there is a good time to be had, Zanesville will be there! It is time to bring Winter to a close. Snow Trails had the best snow in Ohio this year. The Shrider s Holiday Valley trip in February was great fun from what I hear. Marla Morgan s trip to Seven Springs was a success and Bob Wirick just may have set a new standard for bluebird days with the Taos Trip. I love having long, challenging runs apparently reserved for just me and a few NSC friends! The year ends with a smile. I think it is finally time to hang up the skis until next year. C mon and join the fun doings the Activities Committee will be offering in the interim. It has been a privilege to serve as president of the NSC these past two years and as VP for the two years before that. I have been able to work with some of the most dedicated, thoughtful, caring volunteers I could possibly imagine. Six years ago, I hadn t even heard of the NSC. Now you are some of my best friends. You know the positions on the board that need to be filled. Give us a call with your Sure I ll be Prez or Sure I ll be treasurer. No previous experience necessary. Will train. We all have an interest in making the NSC continue to thrive. bruce kern, president Directions to the Newark Maennerchor 195 Orchard St. Newark, OH 43055 From Columbus and Granville: Take OH 16E to OH-79S.

DO YOU LIKE SAMPLING WINE, EATING GOOD FOOD AND HAVING A GREAT TIME WITH YOUR NSC FRIENDS?...THEN YOU RE GON- NA LOVE THIS NEW SKI CLUB TRIP!! August 3-4 (maybe optional 5 th ) What we are in the early stages of cooking up is a trip to the Port Clinton/Put-in-Bay area.

Other trip details are still being worked out. Possibilities include me just providing participants with possible activities for do it on your own Saturday/ Sunday activities (Put-In-Bay), or perhaps an option to include a second night s stay in the club trip.

Very rough ballpark for a couple, for one night, is in the $250-300 range, but please don t hold me to that.

Tim Crowley papatimmyjay@yahoo.com 740-328-9883 On February 18th, we lost a long-time member and friend, Carl Sandman. He was born in Newark and graduated from Utica High School in 1951. A veteran of the U.S. Army, he worked at contour Forming for 35 years, where it was known that he was the best tool & die maker in Licking County. Proud of his full-blown German heritage, Carl was a member of the Newark Maennerchor and could be found most weekends doing the polka and many ballroom dances with Nancy. He can be best remembered by what Nancy Channell wrote to me about him, Carl and I dated for about 76 years and he was the most wonderful person I have ever met. So kind, loving, honest, and...was loved by all that knew him and he loved all of them.

The skiing was great! No lift lines! There were 14 members on the trip, along with Dottie & Walt Young, John & Jeff Singleton and Katie & Lee Curry who happened to be there at the same time. The only adverse thing that happened was on Monday afternoon when we were all ready for a dip in the hot tub, but we were surprised to find it was a cold tub. Someone earlier had hit the emergency stop button shutting down the tub! After spending a few unpleasant minutes in the tub, we went into the sauna which was a tight fit but much warmer. I hope everyone enjoyed the trip and Charles Johnson 1st John Gutridge 2nd Paulette Weber 3rd Rita Swank 8th Sheila VanDorn 19th Penny Slater 20th Tim Crowley 21st Cathy Schlegel 25th Bob Wirick 28th Taos was a Great Trip!

May will take us back to the East side of our club when we re-visit The Barn in Zanesville (well after March Madness, this time!) on May 18th. Hopefully, it ll be a nice, clear night to hang out on the patio and enjoy a few drinks with friends.
