Hence, the meeting has been move back to the following week, Tuesday, March 11th. We will meet at Harbor Hills as usual and will get to hear the wild stories about the wicked runs and the festive après skis happenings that this club has become famous for. Two great memories come to mind about our last trip to Tahoe. One of our members won enough at the casino to pay for his entire trip. Ssweeet! The other memory was from après ski. We met a couple of young stock brokers at a bar near slope-side that offered to buy a round of drinks for everyone if one of the ladies would flash them. So one of our members obliged and we got a free round of adult beverage. An encore was performed and we were treated to another round. The stockbrokers did not catch on that the lady was wearing layers and while lifting the first layer, she only exposed the sweater that she was wearing underneath. I think that their friend Al Ko Hol might have been involved. OH SO MUCH SADNESS Most of us will be putting away our skis after the Tahoe trip as skiing in Ohio will start to melt away. It will be interesting to see who will win our Most Ski s contest this year. We already have a couple of guys that are near the 30-day mark. Well, fortunately this club does a lot more than just skiing. We will be Pppartying like it s 1999 Newark Ski Club Meeting Where: Harbor Hills Country Club 233 Freeman Memorial Dr. Hebron, OH 43025 When: Tuesday, March 11th 6pm - Social 7 pm - Meeting with biking and zip lining and wining.

Page 4 T H E I N S I D E E D G ET H E I N S I D E Page E DPage G E4 4 2014 HOLIDAY VALLEY WRAP-UP February 9TH-11TH We had twelve people on the trip and four others who were up there during that period and joined us for the wine and cheese party on Sunday evening. We had a great evening sharing many stories of prior trips. The snow conditions were fantastic, but the temperatures ranged from -1 to +13, so everyone had to bundle-up. We enjoyed skiing the scenic trails and the diversity Holiday Valley offers. The road conditions for those who drove up Sunday 2/9 were a little dicey, but were fine for the trip home on the 11th. I hope more NSC members will take advantage of this great ski area the next time we plan a trip with the ski-in/ski-out accommodations and NO mid-week lift lines. Can t beat that oh ya, forgot to mention the awesome hot tub too! THANKS to all those who were on the trip. At the April 1st Meeting our annual Executive Board elections will be held. Below are listed the Executive Board positions open for election and the nominees standing for these positions. Please look them over, come to the April meeting, enjoy a lovely Italian dinner provided by the club, have a few drinks with the first one being on the club (drink tickets for all members), bring a desert for the annual Best Desert Contest, and VOTE!

Thank you. Matt McBride has been doing an AMAZING job as the Treasurer for the past two years, but it is now time for him to step down. What does this mean to you? Well, I m glad you asked.
