Courage Kenny is currently looking for Volunteers for our Ski and Snowboard program for the Jan-Mar season. Below is some information on it.

To outline the program:
• The time commitment includes pre-season training which takes place on the weekends. Typically one Saturday in November and a full weekend in December. When you sign up as a volunteer, you select your volunteer lesson day. During the season, you volunteer weekly at the same day/time/location for the duration of the season.
• We pair students up with volunteers, so this way you can stay with the same student throughout the season.
• Our lessons typically take place:
• Monday evenings at Hyland Hills 6-8PM
• Wednesday evenings at Hyland Hills 6-8PM
• Saturday mornings at Afton Alps 9:30-11:30AM
• Sunday mornings at Hyland Hills 9AM - 12:30PM
• Sunday afternoons at Trollhaugen 12:30PM-3:30PM
• Sunday mornings at Welch Village 9AM - 12PM
• The season starts first week in January and is typically 6-8 weeks long and we usually have the week of Presidents day off.

As part of the program, you will need to provide proof of 1st two rounds of Covid Vaccination and a current flu shot record (by dec 1st). We also ask that you can commit to attending most all of the sessions to keep lesson continuity.

The 2020-2021 season has ended and it's time to look forward to next season (sans Covid 19 we hope).  With the new season there will be changes to your Board of Directors. I will be stepping down after four years as President.  It's been a great (but challenging) run. Thank you all for your support.

We recently asked for nominations for the 2021-2022 board.  Nominations have closed with two nominations received: Pat Kaiser for Treasurer and Dave Moberg for Social Director. Pat and Dave will be replacing Janice Meyer who has served 4+ years as Treasurer and Lisa Moncrief who has served three years as a Social Director.  Thank you Janice and Lisa. Welcome Pat and Dave.

As I mentioned, I will be stepping down as President, but will remain on the board, taking an open Trip Director position. Janice Meyer will assume the role as President. I will also retain the role as Advisor to the new board.

Retaining their existing board positions are Dave Seltz (Membership Director), Courtney Quinn (Social Director), Marcia Woodward (MSC Representative), Pat Cahoon (IT/Web Master), Steve Fager (Trip Director) and Ron Zytkovicz (Publications).  Thank you all!.

Since these positions are unopposed, Club by-laws allow for Board of Director approval in lieu of elections.  Board approval was obtained at its meeting on 03/10/21.  The changes will  be effective at the end of our fiscal year on April 30, 2021.
