Delighted, so delighted for such a great start to our skiing and snowboarding activities! Why even this past week I saw snowflakes here in Central Pennsylvania, and of course I am watching the webcams at the mountains we are traveling to this winter season, and I see SNOW! Bring it on! Now is also the time to start getting ready, so put on your athletic shoes and head to the gym to get in better skiing/snowboarding shape!

The annual Get-Acquainted Party was held at Roundtop Mountain Resort this year! Great food and side dishes/desserts, fun and interesting meet and greet of new members with seasoned members, good DJ and dancing fun, and the fire pit was awesome! A special shout out to Suzanne Laughman, event chairperson, and to the social committee for a well-executed event.

Excitement continues as we are rolling out the other non-ski trip to California, Nan Davenport trip leader. We will be taking applications starting at our December Holiday event. Please take a look as the process to sign up will be different from our other trip sign up procedure. We listen to you at our meetings and are working hard to blend ski trips and non-ski trips for all of you. The trip committee is also working on our ski trips for 2027 so if you have comments and ideas please share them with me. The good news is that they are exciting, the challenging news is that some of the costs to ski continue to escalate.

Final reminder that for our membership meetings in November and December we collect food items for the Central PA Food Bank. Please bring an item or two, or utilize the special QR code shown in our December 2025 newsletter. We all have much to be thankful for, and sharing is one of them.

Happy Holidays to all of you.
