President's message…… Our annual

picnic will be here very soon! On August 3rd at Albion

Woods in the Metroparks. In addition to great food,

fun games and hanging out with your favorite ski

friends, we will be crowning a new ski Queen for the club, and

announcing the 2010 Racer of the Year! If you have not yet

purchased your ticket, please contact Lisa Ferenc at (216)

433-6592 ASAP - it really helps us tell our caterer what to bring so everyone can

get enough food.

Our trips committee has been very active lately, and they are quickly selling

seats for the 3 week-long trips next year! We are going to Vail, Aspen/Snowmass,

and Snowbasin/Powder Mountain next year; Be sure to contact the trip leaders to

sign up for one (or two or three...) of these soon! In addition, we will have weekend

trips to Boyne Mountain and Laurel Hills lodge, and day trips to Holimont, Holiday

Valley, and Seven Springs have been planned out. It looks like we have a LOT of

skiing ahead of us in 2011!

Finally, our list of summer activities is included later in this newsletter – we

still have a lot of fun left before skiing begins again!

I really hope to see you at the picnic! – Stacey

2011 Ski Queen CompetitionAllison Wood and Sue Rojeck are going to be presented at the August picnic, and the club will have a chance to vote on who will represent us for the CMSC ski queen competition. Bring your votes out to Albion Woods so we can crown her at the picnic!

Recap of the Goodtime III Rush Hour Cruise Friday July 16, 2010

It was the perfect night for this event as the sky was blue with no clouds in sight,

The temperature was nice - not too hot or cold and everything else

was just right!

I was joined by Joe & Denise Gruden , Joe & Lynn Roche , Elise

& Bruce Frankenfeld, Joe Ezerskis and Gail, Jan Neumann and her

friend Helen along with my dear friends (and sister) Rosemary Toole,

Therese Corrigan, Barb Cool and Irene Weston. We enjoyed ourselves

tremendously especially as we

celebrated Therese Corrigan’s

birthday and I have to say that

we had a good time on the Good

Time.

Our turnout was pretty good

but I was surprised that there was such low attendance es-

pecially since the weather was so good. They were about a

quarter less people than what they usually get but that was

nice because we had our choice of seating. We had seats on

the upper deck as well as a table by the dance floor (for

those of us who wished to dance). It was nice to mingle between the two – it was great to soak up

the sun and enjoy the wide open view of the sky and lake from the top deck, but the shade and

the breeze on the mid deck were a welcome relief.

As always the cruise was over way too early

so we stopped off at the Sunset Grill on Whisky

Island and indulged ourselves with burgers and

beer. We met up with Barb’s boyfriend, Jim and

some new and old friends and talked the night

away.

Join us on our annual cruise next year – it is

the perfect way to spend a summer night! Article by Therese Telzow and photos by Elise Allen

and Jan Neumann

Recap of Fly in Saturday June 26, 2010

Our EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) chapter hosted the

annual pancake breakfast flyin at Columbia airport in Columbia

Township Sat June 26. We had good weather and a nice turnout.

Several planes flew in and were parked along the flight line. A lot of

hungry pilots flew in for the pancakes. The purpose of the flyin is

to provide a means for kids under 18 an opportunity to fly in a small

airplane. Once those kids complete their flight they are given a

certificate naming them a Young Eagle. Hopefully the flight will encourage those kids to seek avi-

ation as a career. I flew a special person on his first flight. See Brian and me in the cockpit. For

those that missed this one there will be another flyin in Sept...the Flyro Gyro. Article and photo

by Sandra Maurer.
