AGM on October 29, work party on October 30

AGM this Friday, October 29, starts at 7:30 p.m. and will be run on the zoom platform. Email Pat (svnscmembership@gmail.com) if you would like to attend; she'll send you the zoom

link later in the week. Agenda and last year's minutes are below.

The ski club Board is on the lookout for a few "directors-at-large." Please consider joining the Board if you'd like to help steer this ski club into this season and future years in long-range planning. We only have one executive position to fill this year--facilities director. If you like to putter and fix things, and be on a team of like-minded individuals, please bring your talents forward! Contact Liz if you are interested in either of these important roles at Onion Lake Ski Trails (ejthorne@telus.net).

Agenda for 2021 AGM Minutes from 2020 AGM

Work party on Saturday, October 30th, meet at the main parking lot at 10 a.m. with work gloves, your water jug, and maybe some snacks. A hot lunch will be provided. The plan is for wood splitting and stacking at the Moose Hut and some carpentry tasks around the Moose Hut and main lodge.

October 2021 Newsletter

March Newsletter, Online Auction, Skiathon Report

Hi everyone!

Our newest ski club member signed up on March 15. And he's going to get his money's worth with the time that is left! How about all the rest of you ski club members? If you haven't been skiing much this year, do not despair, just grab your skis and get out there! The snow pack at the trails is quite deep and we will be skiing happily for weeks to come. New plan: work, ski, and bike, all in one day! Next day: some gardening, go for a hike, then ski!

This news update has three purposes:

1. To bring you news of the club in the March Newsletter. (Liz writes the BEST newsletters of any ski club!)

2. To bring you the final report on the Skiathon from February 27-28. An amazing event. A few photos included.

3. To bring you news and links for the online auction that the club is holding to raise money towards the purchase of new rental gear.

Please fulfill our deepest desires and read ALL THREE news bites.

ALL THREE.

#1 NEWSLETTER

The newsletter starts with the weather and the exceptional ski conditions. Then it moves into the realm of fundraising, for our grooming machines and for ski gear for the rental shed. (Many thanks to so many generous donors and the skiers who sought out pledges for up to 60 km!) The online auction is mentioned and more details will be in #3 below. Rental shed hours are listed until its last day: March 28. Summer....decks....lost and found....need more JackRabbits coaches...think snow (did she really say that?)

#2 SKIATHON February 27-28, 2021

All the details and the prize winners and donors and sponsors can be found on the skiathon document below. The pledges and donations brought in over $12,000 towards the purchase of the new tracked quad. These are the businesses who either donated prizes for the event or gave the club money for the quad. When you visit these businesses, give them a hi-five from the ski club! Sherwood Brewhouse
