President’s Message

The Embassy Suites was a good place

to meet but they are having an election

watch party on November 8th so …...

WE WILL BE BACK AT THE CROWNE PLAZA

FOR THE NOVEMBER MEETING !!!!!

The Tailgate was a success again as was the Lobster Boil.

Remember to thank the volunteers who make these great

activities happen ! See the reviews in this newsletter. The

November meeting will feature our annual charity giving to

Camp Pfeifer so remember to bring checkbooks or cash to

participate. This meeting is also election night and we

hope everyone gets out to vote. I have voted early and a lot

of you will too so I hope we have a good turnout at this

meeting. The Caribbean Cruise and Telluride Ski trip are at

or close to full, but if you are interested, please check with

the trip leaders immediately for the availability on either. It

is now less than two months to Christmas and our annual

SnowBall will be here before you know it, so please see

Karen VanBokhoven for tickets. Check the information on

page 6, and remember to get your friends (members or not)

to also get tickets to this fun activity. Remember to keep

former Presidents Pat Walloch and Patti Lucarz in your

thoughts. It was good to see Mike Paulus doing well at the

Lobster Boil. We all morn the passing of our good friend

and long time member Gene Eberle. He will be missed.

Please review all of the details in the rest of the newsletter

and I’ll see you at the November meeting, and remember to

“Think Snow”. Mike Graves, President

Tailgate

Oct.1 9am - 3pm

Review Once again, Larry and Jeanette hosted a LRSC

Tailgate Party for those going to the game and

those who preferred to stay and watch on the

satellite TV that Larry set up. The game start

was early so the food was more of a brunch. We

thank all who attended and to everyone else,

you missed a good time.

A lot of work goes into this and we appreciate

all of those who had a part, especially Larry and

Jeanette !

See You Next Year !

Annual Little Rock Ski Club

LOBSTER BOIL

Review The Lobster Boil is the longest running non ski activity of the Little Rock Ski Club and once again on Saturday Oct. 22, we gathered at Reservoir Park for a fun evening and delicious lobsters. Thanks goes out to Carlyn, Kay, the Mikes and the entire crew for all the hard work it takes to put on this tasty treat. We hope to con- tinue this wonderful tradition for years to come and we will need to have others to step up and help run this great activity, so consider volunteering for this and other club activities. There is a volunteer form on page 10 that you can turn in for your Information. Many of our present leaders have been involved for 10, 20, 30 or more years and could use a little help !
