Planning... mark your calendars

Greetings Fellow 'Trollers!

Thanks to those who have emailed itching to Patrol. I trust we're all having a fun and busy summer. It certainly is getting time to start planning the season, so...here we go.

Summer Get Together: Let's plan SUNDAY AUGUST 28 at THE SKI AREA. 3:00 PM. Let's plan a meeting and BBQ. I'll put together a formal agenda, but the main topics to discuss will be below (Swap planning, Refresher planning, Hill protocols/guidelines). We can divvy BBQ duties as the date nears.

Sports Swap: October 29 is the date.

Refresher Planning: November 12 & 13. By now everyone should have received your Ski Patrol Magazine/ Refresher Guide in the mail. If you haven't you should be able to download it off the NSP web site. A gentle reminder to all; our refresher is usually the LAST one in the region. If you don't think you can attend it you will need to attend another patrol's. Plan now. Saturday the 12th will be all OEC. Sunday the 13th will be Lift Evac and the updated CPR refresher. We now have 4 of us certified as CPR instructors.

Roster: Times change, people change. If anyone thinks they're not going to rejoin our elite ranks this coming season, let me or Marke know. I'm not sure if we're planning an OEC class or not this year. We'll need to see what kind of interest and need we have. Anyway, if you know of someone who is seriously interested in our fine organization, let us know.

Anyhoo, mark your calendars, share your thoughts and stay out of the hot sun,

Oak
