Come on out, for an evening of club reports and discussions: find out what's been going on in the ski club for the past year, and get involved in the work and events and fun ahead! If you can, bring a plate of cookies to share!
PS The photo is from Liz and Jim's farewell last April. If you don't know at least half the people in the group, you need to come meet your winter friends at our events spread throughout the season!

We are still in search of a Jack Rabbit coaching coordinator.
Those of you who have signed up for memberships have noticed that we cannot start signing up kids for the Jack Rabbits until we get this crucial position filled. Thank you Dara for stepping into the other JackRabbits position, as program coordinator!

Two things:
1. If you are a photographer (and who isn't, with these amazing phones?) and can share your best images with us, please do! Always looking for new pictures for newsletters. Also, the Cross Country BC magazine needs to see photos of our northern clubs, so save your best shots and pass them on.
2. The executive is looking for a used filing cabinet for storage of club files. If you have one you can donate, contact Cathy.
Thanks go out to Brenda Jackson for her donation of cedar boards so Doug can continue his facilities projects!
That's it! We'll see you next at the work party, or the AGM, or in a few months taking in the beautiful trails at Onion Lake!
First, September 30th is the last day for the KAL Tire discount, redeemable at the Terrace Kal Tire. When you do purchase your winter tires, thank them for their generous sponsorship of the JackRabbits program and growing this "sport for life"!
We're already getting questions about memberships and the Jack Rabbit program for kids. The membership forms will be available soon, in the next week or so. We are trying to get the kids' program registration ready as well, but have been looking for a few volunteers. We've successfully found a Jack Rabbit program coordinator for the season, but we still need a coaching coordinator. If you are a coach and can help organize the coaches (meetings, emails, plan training events), we need you! Can you give us one ski season of your time? The job description is well documented and you are promised a capable mentor who can help out. Email Lisa through SVNSC.
Saturday, October 15
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Jobs: Firewood (splitting, stacking), trail pruning (clearing 6' radius around ALL the lightpoles for light maintenance work this fall), general cleanup and burn pile, and lodge cleaning (windows, walls, cupboards, etc.). Also need some cooks (2 pots of soup please) and bread makers, to provide wholesome nourishment for the volunteers. Email Cathy if you can help with the food.
AGM
Friday, October 28 7:30 p.m. in the lodge
Mark you calendars. We promise good cookies, plus lots of engaging discussions about the club and trails, and a chance to meet your winter friends once again!
See you all soon. Start your stretching and strengthening routines in these fall months!
