President’s Message

The September meeting was again well attended and lively. Sign ups for our ski trips are in full swing. If you are interested in one of our trips, you need to call us right away and/or come to the October meeting. The Steamboat trip is full, but it is still early enough that we could possibly add another condo. Banff looks like it will fill up soon ! We hope you were able to watch Mike & yours truly on KATV 7 Early Daybreak on Sept. 23 ! We had fun but it was awfully early ! If you missed it, you can go to http://www.katv.com/clip/10613642/little-rock-ski-club-visits-daybreak We would appreciate it if you would sign up for our other activities this month; the Razorback Tailgate and the Lobster Boil on the following weekend. We are also taking sign-ups (and payment) for the annual Snow Ball for December 19th to be held at the Crowne Plaza. We are also looking for a local place to have a Super Bowl party on Feb 1st. Either a club/party room or a residence would be great, so help us with your suggestions. Our next Friday night Flights will be on October 17th at the Butcher Shop bar - if you get there first, try to grab a big table as usual. Think Snow, Patti Lucarz
