Greetings SSC Members,

Well folks, it’s hard to believe this is my next to last column as SSC President.

With the holidays behind us, we are all anxiously awaiting the start of the 2023 ski season. Once again, Punxsutawney Phil holds the fate of our eastern ski season in his paws. Our 2023 trips are about to start as SSC’s Palisades at Tahoe trip leaves January 22, and they are blessed with an abundance of snow. Stowe will depart January 30, followed by Park City February 4, Snowmass February 18, and then Telluride in March. The Trip Committee members and board are also actively planning trips for 2023-2024.

February will bring change as the Elections for the 2023- 2024 Board of directors will take place at our membership meeting on Tuesday, February 7, 2023. There were no nominations from the floor at the January membership meeting. There will not be a full slate of candidates as Trip VP and Membership are open. We have three people running for two Director positions so we need everyone to STEP UP AND VOTE

You will receive an electronic ballot via email blast approximately two weeks before the election, and your vote needs to be cast online no later than 5 PM EST on February 7, 2023. [If you’re one of the few members who receive a newsletter by mail, a paper ballot will be included for you. Please complete your paper ballot and mail it to Susquehanna Ski Club, P.O. Box 60713, Harrisburg, PA 17106-0713. Paper ballots must also be received by Tuesday, February 7 and can be submitted in person until 7 PM at the February 7 membership meeting.]

I would like to thank all of the members who have volunteered for board positions both past and present. Your commitment is what helps keeps our Ski Club running.

Stay safe and healthy and please VOTE!!

Bob
