Meriden Ski Club Newsletter

Hello Members!!

The annual Dinner Dance cumulated the end of the ski season for the Meriden Ski Club. Anthony, as usual did a fantastic job in planning this event. The Hawthorne Inn did a wonderful job and the food was up to their standards. Congratulations to all the winners who took home trophies and prizes!

As a new fiscal year begins, I would like to "thank" all the Board members, chairpersons and volunteers who gave their time and energies so unselfishly for the betterment of the Meriden Ski Club.

We are beginning a new season nowm and there are some new and old venues for the summer months. Remember to check out the web site and check this newsletter for information on these activities. All members who are interested in partaking of these club functions must contact the chairperson and submit their payment to that person or the MSC PO Box, marking the envelope with the name of the function.

I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Robin Guzzo as Meriden Ski Club Ambassador for the 2010-2011 ski season. Robin is enthusiastic regarding her duties as our Ambassador and likes to entertain, which will be a plus for member nights. Robin and her husband, David, live in Wallingford and have been members for about a year. I know our members will welcome them among our ranks.

Our first summer activity is the Rock Cats ball game on June 25th with Maggie Bender (Manchester), followed with Sandy Davis' fishing trip on the 26th aboard the Blackhawk out of Niantic. In July we will have Go Karting in Wallingford, with Sandy Meyerhofer on the 13th. The Beach Picnic will be held at Alice Gradwell and Dan's home in Old Saybrook on July 17th.

Are you ready for a Pig Roast? Linda and Doug Magrath will be hosting our Annual Picnic and Pig Roast under the pavillion at the Meriden PBA, rain or shine on Aug 14th. We will need a definite count by August 2nd, so please see details below for signing up.

We are also in the planning stages of winter trips (No it's not too early!!). So keep them in mind and start planning your winter activities: Sunday River with Anthony over MLK weekend, Stowe's annual trip with Ken Conrad, and a week long trip to Innsbruck, Austria in March with Bob Curry. All trips are in the planning stages so watch for more info in the upcoming months.

The Meriden Ski Club is again sponsoring a green and a tee for the 4th annual Mt. Southington Golf Tournament to benefit the CT Children's Medical Center Adaptive Ski Program. If you are interested in playing golf for this wonderful charity you can e-mail mykeysee@aol.com or call 203-430-1280.

Remember to please respond for any or all of the events you plan on attending. I am looking forward to seeing many of our regular members and lots of new members at one or more of these events planned for the summer. They will be fun. Have a great summer!

Regards, Marge Hayden, President
