Co-Prez Says
Such a strange winter. Lots of snow in December, less than an inch in January and February combined along with 60 and 70 degree weather in February. The ski season is quickly winding down and it seems this winter has felt more like spring. Just crazy.
We still have a couple more trips coming up. One to Cascade in Wisconsin the weekend of March 3rd to March 5th, the CMSC Winter Carnival the weekend of March 10th to March 12th and the Aspen spring fling trip the week of April 1st to April 6th. I certainly hope you got a chance to enjoy one of these upcoming trips and/or enjoy sometime at the lodge.
We continue to stay busy at Four Winds. We are finishing up our voting for the merged club by-laws and have been working on new by-laws for the lodge as well. In addition we have been discussing a slate of nominees for the newly merged Four Winds club. Additional nominees can certainly be made and whoever is elected will begin their term at the beginning of May.
This past month plenty of activities were occurring. There was a lodge trip this past month as well as an outing to see the Chicago Wolves play hockey against the Rockford Icehogs. I have put together a short article and some pictures of that event for your reading pleasure. In addition there was a wine tasting party, a comedy club outing, and a Blackhawks Road Rally outing. So much to do and so little time.
Coming up in March will be a St. Patrick’s event on March 11th in Dundee and other activities and events are always being planned. We are planning another Blackhawks road rally in early April and save the date for Sunday, April 23rd as that will be our spring banquet. Be sure to keep an eye out for any emails and check the website often to keep up on the latest and greatest happening with Four Winds.
Enjoy the rest of what remains of this winter and enjoy the upcoming spring and be sure to keep an eye out for those illusive pots of gold and unicorns. (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!)
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Four Winds trip, social event, or meeting in the near future!
