Co-Prez Says

Hi Everyone, 

 

Most of you know me but for those who do not my name is Russ (Russel Butler).  I am the former President of Oak Park Ski Club and acting as co-President of Four Winds, Ski, Ride, & Socialize Club along with Patrick Clark until new by-laws have been completed and voted upon and then a new board is nominated and elected.  I have been involved with Oak Park for quite some time and met my wife Sheri as well as many of my closest friends at Oak Park.  I wanted to make a difference and kept involved in the club and ultimately somehow ended up as President, go figure.  Now I find myself in the middle of a merger to help two clubs become one.  We both have our own culture and ways of doing things but we will ultimately get this all figured out.  I have already met plenty of wonderful friends at Four Winds and look forward to meeting many more new friends and having plenty of wonderful times going forward.

 

Anyway the holidays are in full swing as I write this but they will soon be winding down.  Four Winds has plenty of upcoming trips and activities.  Let’s see what is coming up…hmmm.  

 

Well of course in January we have a lodge drive up trip the weekend of January 20th to 22nd, an ABSF Fundraiser at Wilmot on January 22nd, and also the Granite Peak trip the weekend of January 27th to 29th.  In February we will be having another lodge drive up trip the weekend of February 10th to 12th, and the Indianhead / Powderhorn trip on February 24th to 26th.  March consists of the Cascade trip which includes staying at a nearby waterpark the weekend of March 3rd to March 5th and of course the CMSC Winter Carnival the weekend of March 10th to March 12th. 

 

Phew, sounds like plenty going on and that is just the ski and snowboard trips.  If you ask what else is happening, well of course there is the Caribbean Cruise starting on January 7th to 14th for those who wish to cruise the ocean for a bit rather than the slopes.  Coming up will also be the Travel and Adventure show the weekend of January 21st to 22nd.  There are sure to be plenty of other upcoming events such as Blackhawk Rally Parties and Bar and Restaurant outings as well so be sure to check the website and your emails from Four Winds. 

 

The past month of December was a busy month with the general meeting on Thursday, December 1st, the Geneva Holiday Lights Walking Tour on Friday, December 2nd, and the Four Winds holiday party on Saturday, December 3rd that was graciously hosted by Richard and Judy Stash.  There was also a Holiday Lights Car Rally on Saturday, December 10th.  Hopefully you were able to attend some or all of these events.  I actually made it to them all and had a great time.  I was asked if I could put together a brief write-up of the Geneva Walk and the Holiday Lights Car Rally so be on the lookout for those as well along with some photos of the events.

 

Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Four Winds trip, social event, or meeting in the near future!
