February Presidents Message

Marty Stimson | Published on 1/29/2025

Yikes! we’ve certainly had a cold January.  Maybe a day or two of some OK temps but I’m sure not liking the below zero and winds stuff anymore. You all braved a cold evening on January 18 to make the Annual Chili and Soup Cookoff gathering another fun event.  I wish I could have made it.  Janet said we had about 70 including a couple guests.  

 

To me it’s kind of my kickoff to another year full of fun trips and activities.  It’s also that time of year when you vote on who you want for next year’s board at the February meeting. Although on one hand voting will be easy when we have more positions than we have candidates running. So, my message to all of this is write-in votes are welcomed too. Just as we need and value our activity and trip leaders we value and need board members too. As a reminder, Board members receive $150 each year in trip credit to use towards any club trip of activity or even your membership. Trip chairs can receive up to $450 in credit for week-long trips and activities, and weekend trip credit can range from $1 per person to $150.   It’s a little something so please consider being on the board or running a trip or activity. 

 

My sincere thanks to all those who have helped in any way to keep our club going.  It’s a great club and we need your continued help to keep it going. 

 

Marty Stimson, EISC President
