| General Meeting | Thursday | April 10, 2008 | Wishing Well 1190 Chili Ave. (33A) (Just off of 390, Exit 19) |
Ninety members attended the April meeting and shared ski trip stories with each other during the 'attitude adjustment time'. After a very good buffet, Dick C., our VP presided over the meeting (Jim P. was unavailable due to a yard incident the day before our meeting; he's home now and doing okay). Dick refreshed our memories re: the changes to the constitution that were documented in the last newsletter, and after the members voted to accept them, Dick asked for a motion that was passed to have Barb G. cast a vote to elect the slate of officers for the 2008-2009 season. Tom Grasso, the President of the Canal Society of N.Y. then shared information on the proposed initiatives to resurrect the canal in the city of Rochester. Thanks to Marj G. for organizing the meeting and to this month's cookie people, Laurie W., Pat R., Georgie S. and Sue E. Thanks also to Frank J. for the laptop and no-hassle AV hook-up for the presentation. (Bev M.) |
| Swain/Maple Tree Inn | Friday | March 7, 2008 | Swain and Cartwright's Maple Tree Inn (4321 County Road 15a, Angelica, N.Y.) |
Pancakes at “Short Tract” – After skiing the deep powder and steeps at Swain Resort, some of we less hardy repaired at 11:00 A.M. to the Sierra Inn, Swain, N.Y. for a morning bracer. There were 18 stalwarts in all. Again, with the call, for “more whiskey and fresh horses for my men (and women)”, we hitched up the buckboards and with the G.P.S. lashed to the dash, we headed over the high pass to the Maple Tree Inn for pancakes and delicious sausages, meeting more members there, 26 folks total. We beat the heavy snows that day, making it down the pass back to Rochester. --A. P. Belaskas – aspiring junior wagon master |
| General Meeting | Thursday | February 7, 2008 | Green Lantern, Fairport (One East Church St. - Just east of Rt. 250) |
February's meeting included a lively social hour with 96 members and guests in attendance, a wonderful buffet, the official meeting, and a slide presentation and enthusiastic talk by Gary Fallensen. Gary shared stories of the many climbs and missions he and his team have enjoyed in numerous parts of the world. During the official meeting - Jim P. (president) introduced the board, etc., Nancy P. updated us with trip information, and Nancy O. welcomed new members with ski club pins (and kisses). Nancy O. also presented Monica B. with a replacement pin (Monica donated her pin to a Summit Lodge security guard who was a big help with one of the Sunday River parties). Bev M. (nominating) thanked Barb G. for her 11 years of dedicated service as secretary (Barb's not planning to run) and gave members one last chance to add their name to the slate of officers. Nominations were closed after Dean C. made a motion that was seconded by Ed C.. Bev then announced the slate of officers for 2008-2009; this slate will be sent to members in the next newsletter and will be 'voted in' at the April meeting. Thanks as always to Marj G. for coordinating the meeting and to our cookie gents: Dick C. and Carl B., and cookie lady: Bobbi D. (Bev M.) |
| General Meeting | Thursday | January 10, 2008 | Wishing Well 1190 Chili Ave. (33A - Just off of 390, Exit 19) |
Over ninety members and guests participated in the January dinner meeting - with our usual lively conversations and good cheer. Many have already skied quite a few times locally and are looking forward to more cold and snowy weather and heading off to other areas for some great skiing! After a nice buffet, Jim P. (club president) led the meeting - with board introductions and announcements including updates by Bob W. (treasurer), Nancy O. (membership), and Nancy P. (trip coordinator). RSC members asked plenty of questions when 'Trekking to the Base Camp of Mount Everest' was presented by Peter Fisk. Thanks to our cookie ladies and gent and to Marj G. for organizing the meeting and providing such interesting programs. P.S. If anyone is interested in running for one of the offices for 2008-2009 please contact BevM by our Feb. 7th general meeting. |
| Annual Ski Swain and Chili Party | Tuesday | January 1, 2008 | Swain Ski Area | The weather and snow clouds definitely cooperated this year. Almost 70 RSC members attended the first event for 2008 and most enjoyed skiing on two to three inches of fresh snow ... and even saw the sun a few times throughout the day. The chili, compliments of Larry S. and Ralph P. was as delicious as ever and the dishes members brought were varied and scrumptious. Thanks to Barb G. for organizing this event and to everyone who helped with setup and cleanup (like Tony and Jean B., Carol B., Bill M., and many others). A great day! |
| Holiday Party | Thursday | December 13, 2007 | Burgundy Basin Inn 1361 Marsh Road (between Rt. 31 and Rt. 96), Pittsford |
Once again the dynamic duo of Charlie S. and Skip M. did a wonderful job organizing the holiday banquet at Burgundy Basin. One hundred fifty people attended even though the roads were slick…what the heck, we are a ski club! Thanks also go to Sue C. and Bob R. from SNOW for their efforts. Sue swears she did not get the outfit Jim Peters wore from a street person. The rest of the models looked great in their ski attire. We missed Skip’s baritone commentary but Charlie and Shirley did a great job handing out the prizes, many of which came from SNOW and SWAIN. It is nice to be part of a group that really enjoys being together when ever the occasion presents itself as evidenced by the number of people that attend all of the RSC events. When you see the chair people thank them for jobs well done. -Terry S.- |
| General Meeting | Thursday | November 8, 2007 | Green Lantern, Fairport | 125 members and guests started the first of the 2007-2008 general dinner meetings with plenty of enthusiasm and hearty appetites. After a lively social hour and a delicious buffet, Jim P. (Club President) led the meeting with officer and board member introductions (the club has almost 50 new members this year). Bob W. gave a brief treasure's report and Nancy P. updated us with a few trip openings and with new (to some) airlines luggage 'rules', etc. For our program, Eric Stearns, the new Swain general manager shared the exciting changes for Swain that include a new slope. Thanks very much to Eric, to our cookie ladies and gent (Ellen H., Linda H., Mary L., Monica B., and Jerry G.), and as always, to Marj G. for organizing the general meeting. |
| Pig Roast | Saturday | October 6, 2007 | Braddock Bay Park Lodge and Pavilion (Take the Lake Ontario State Pkwy to East Manitou Road. Turn North on E. Manitou Road; the park road runs off of the west side of East Manitou Road.) |
A resounding success. The weather moderated from a hot morning to a temperate afternoon. The few sprinkles did not deter the kibitzers from offering their advice to Jim Merkel, the man carving the pig from Old Mill Catering. 116 people signed up and no one left hungry. In addition to the whole pig dinner, chairperson Nancy P. supplied baked beans, sauerkraut, barbeque sauce, delicious dips, and veggie & cheese trays along with lots of desserts. Harvest decorations were done by Barb G. & Nancy W. (Terry S.) |
| Golf Tournament | Tuesday | September 11, 2007 | Parkview Fairways Golf Course (7100 Boughton Road - south of Victor) | Like previous golf tournament club organizers (Dave & Sue W.) - Bryan and Nancy C. did a wonderful job with this year's tournament. In spite of threatening skies, 24 RSC golfers played through a little rain and wind, and even enjoyed some sun and comfortable temps. Congrats to: Team winners: Barb G., Kay C. and Floyd M. Closest to the pin: Floyd M. Longest Drive: women: Brenda V. and men: Doug C. The owners of Parkview cooked a delicious chicken barbecue dinner for us and Nancy C. and Brenda V. topped it off with some scrumptious cookies. Bob D. helped Bryan and Nancy with door prizes (which were plentiful). Thanks to all! |
| Summer Picnic | Thursday | August 2, 2007 | Greece Canal Park (off of Elmgrove Road, north of Ridgeway Avenue) - Millennium Lodge | The sun, temperature, and humidity were in full supply for this year's picnic. In spite of the temperature, approx. 90 members and guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon and evening of visiting with fellow RSC members. As usual, the members provided a terrific variety for snacks, dinner (with many delicious salads, etc.), and desserts. Thanks to Bill Hengstler for running this year's picnic! ... and to the many who helped (including Nancy P. and others (kitchen duties), and Jim P., Bill M., and Cindy C. (our hot dog and hamburger chefs). And a special thanks to Larry and Joy S. for sharing their garden bounty. |
