Membership Birthdays We just ended one of the best local ski seasons Snow Trails has had in many years, if you did not make it to Snow Trails this year, you missed some of the best snow in Ohio. The members who were on the Telluride trip will be around to tell their stories too. But now, it is time to decide where we will be skiing, for 2010. The trip planning committee has been in the process of planning our 2010 winter trips. So, plan to attend the April membership meeting and make your vote count as to where we will be skiing in 2010. Find out all about the upcoming trips and the location choices we will be deciding upon. Will we be going to Breckenridge - Colorado, Park City - Utah or Banff - Canada, just to name a few. Come out and let your voice be heard. Remember, April is also election night so, come out and make your vote count. Support the new board members, who will be representing the club for 2010-2011. If you have not been involved with the club as a volunteer, maybe it is time for you to participate, as a board member or a trip leader. Maybe it is time to give back, to the best Ski Club around! We will have some great food too!. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Y-O-U, happy birthday to you. Look forward to seeing everyone. For all our members with April birthdays.

Page APRIL 3 2009 3 San Juan Cruise 2009 October 17 25, 2009 28 lucky people are currently signed up for this cruise. Airfare has been secured for them and we are making our second payment on this trip. As I stated last month if you are going you need to have put down at least $500 by March 31. Final payment is due by June 1. If you are interested in getting trip insurance there have been 2 companies recommended: -Travel Guard which can be found at http://www.travelguard.com/ -Access America which can be found at http://www.accessamerica.com/ You can go to those web sites and take care of securing your trip insurance on your own separately from the cruise or travel company. This seems to give you better coverage for a lower price than what we can get through the cruise line. Based upon the airfare that we secured the prices for the cruise are as follows: Inside Room $1100 Window Room $1200 Balcony $1300 We still have 3 window rooms available so see me right away if you are interested in going. This cruise will begin with the first day and evening at The Caribe Hilton in San Juan, it is one of the most luxurious resorts in Puerto Rico, with oceanfront swimming pools, whirlpools and hammocks next to the secluded beach. The next morning we will be whisked away on the cruise ship for stops Barbados, St. Thomas, Dominica, St. Kitts and Dominican Republic. Remember if you do not have at least $500 per person paid by March 31 it is possible that you will lose your room. If you have any questions, please contact me right away. Thanks!
