Our Next Meeting. Our next club meeting is planned for September. More details will be provided in the next newsletter. New Newsletter Format.

Where 's the Money Go? If you missed our last meeting at Gibbs Hall, you missed an excellent treasurer's report given by John Hovendon. Obviously he didn't graduate from the "Arthur Anderson School of Accounting" because he is able to account for all the club's finances. I think that all present would agree that John has done a fine job as our club treasurer over the last several years. And he has agreed to do it again this year. Thanks John! George Darragh Saves Us Money! That's right. George's near perfect attendance at the New Jersey Ski Council Meetings has resulted in the Council's reducing our club's dues from the normal $60 to only $10 dollars for the upcoming ski season. Yea for George! And thanks! Club Picnic Planned for September. John Hovendon has agreed to plan our club picnic for the umpteenth season. The September day isn't set yet. John will probably appreciate some help. His phone number is 732-542-1838.
