This past season was very rewarding for club members
who took part in our ski offerings as well as social events.Our Western trip was to Telluride, CO, where we
all enjoyed returning to the Ice House as well as skiing a great mountain.George Roller led another group for a three night
trip to Mt Snow.Both trips met our
goals and were run successfully for the club.We also had our annual picnic, a well attended dinner dance, and three socials,
one at my house, one at Uwe’s, and a winery oldies event. In the coming year, we will repeat all the
social activities, add some new ones, and offer three very interesting and
varied ski trips…..we’re heading to Park City, Lake Placid, and France! !
I want to thank all of you for having the
confidence in electing me president for a fourth term.It isn’t possible to run this club without
the support of a dedicated board. There are lots of changes in the composition
of the new board, so I am counting on the ‘newbies’ to follow in the footsteps
of our retiring board members.Maryellen
Doyle Irvine is the new first vice president, taking over from Karin Choi, who
worked tirelessly for many years in many positions. We wish Karin the best, and
know she will remain a loyal Tiroler.Brian
Workman, our hardworking membership chairman for 4 years, is our new second VP.
No one has taken the Secretary position
yet, (any takers?) that Joyce Schaller held so well.Maryellen has also quietly assisted (taken over?)
the job of webmaster, and is adding more information to the www.tirolerskiclub.comsite, as well as our Meetup.com listing.We ask each of you to go to http://www.meetup.com/Tiroler-Ski-Cluband register as a member for automatic
updates on our activities.We have a
(not so) new face, Jim Krueger, as our membership chair.Lastly, we have our Past President, Carol
Farr.We owe her a debt of gratitude for
two years of leadership at the helm of the club and I will miss her dinner-served
board meetings and her teacher’s ability to command the attention of our noisy
club!
Now for our SKI AGENDA for 2011:Already announced is our March European trip
to Trois Vallees and Paris, France.The
Trois Vallees is Europe’s BIGGEST ski area, at about 6 times the size of
Vail!We’re also planning a three night Super
Bowl weekend drive-up trip to the fabulous town of Lake Placid/ Whiteface
NY.This trip will include an Olympic
Passport as well as an optional Bobsled Run ride. In addition, look for our flexible and reasonably
priced trip to Park City, Utah in early
January which will put you close to the slopes and the in-town action plus
allow up to 5 days on the slopes for less
than$1000!! More information to follow
on all.
We have a number of great SUMMER ACTIVITIES
lined up.We hope you can join us for
fun, food, and friendship at: a “President’s
reception” social at my house (June 13th ) and a Shady Brook Farm Wine
Concert in June; the Bucks County Blues festival and a Float Down the Delaware
(tubing) in July;our fabulous annual
picnic on Sunday, August 15th at the Schroeder farm, followed by
another wine and dance evening , this time at Crossings Vineyard in Bucks
County. See attached pages for
details.
Always feel free to email me with ideas and
suggestions.We (the board) want to
serve our members and offer fun events for those with like-minded
interests.Help us help you!
