President's Message
The View From The Top

Greetings!

Happy March! Winter is still here with plenty of time for skiing; be sure to get more of your winter activity fix before spring and warmer weather sets in. March is a busy month for our Club, first with two trips with Ron Chohamin taking a group to Aleyska, Alaska and Jan Holman leading the Mammoth trip. Joel Marlowe is leading a snowshoe hike, additional snowshoe treks on some social ski days are being led by Patricia Forman, we have social ski days including a demo day thanks to Vin Keenan and the Memorial Social Ski Day and BBQ thanks to Gary Rose.

Cantina Los Tres Hombres is working out very well for our general meetings. Judging by the considerable turnout we have had at our recent meetings, many of you agree!

The staff has been very receptive for our requests so members can better hear the presentations and has increased their wait staff so we can be better served. With any meeting venue, there are pluses and minuses, but overall this location is meeting our needs.

If case you didn’t know or forgot, our Club has a “Sunshine Person” who sends a card to a Club member who might be injured, ill, or who recently lost a family member to let them know that their Reno Ski and Recreation Club friends are thinking of them. Or a card is sent to congratulate a member on a happy event such as an engagement or other occasion worth celebrating. Many thanks to Cindy Lichty who has been our Sunshine Person for over a year, tirelessly sending out cards on a regular basis. We now have a new person who has enthusiastically volunteered to take on this task, Ingeborg Heinje. If you know of any member who should receive a card please let Ingeborg know.

And if you haven’t yet checked out the members only area of our website, I have to ask, why not? Each member can now create their own user ID and password and it is so easy to do. This is where you now access our membership roster which is continuously updated, current and past newsletters, a club forum/message board where you can contact other members to fine a skiing buddy, hiking partner, and so much more! So be sure to create your user ID and check this out. Our webmaster, Kats Cannell, has worked hard to offer this for us.
