Erin Barber, new president and
champion racer Presidents
Message June 2008
This is my first President’s message
to SDSC members in quite a long time. I
look forward to serving you all this
year, and hope to have a very successful
year. I look around at the people who
are working in the Club to serve its
members, and I note some new faces and
some seasoned faces. I’m proud to be
part of this Ski Club. So many have been
members of the Club for a long time, and
the newer members have melded in so well
it seems like I have known them for as
long as some of the others. You all may
not know, but I have grown up in the
club. That’s a good 40 years of
membership, activity, skiing and Labor
Day work parties. I remember staying at
the Chalet as a child, teen and young
adult. The tooth fairy even found me
there one weekend. When I was a young
teen, I was always the one shipped off
to the Laundromat to wash the sheets. My
Mom would help me get the washing
machines going and I would be
responsible for putting the washed
mattress covers in the dryer and folding
them. It always seemed like I was there
for the entire day, but I always made it
back in time for lunch.
I am really hopeful that more members
will become involved in the Ski Club
this year. We are looking to fill the
Council Rep position, and will need to
fill the Chalet Reservations position by
the end of next season. I am always
happy to see the Chalet get a lot of
use, and I would love to see more people
out racing. Although summer isn’t
usually a time of high activity for the
Club, the Labor Day Work Party is
usually very fun, and successful. Get
your reservations in early because Jerry
Stokely can only accommodate a fixed
number of helpers.
Our first big meeting in the Fall is a
Membership Drive meeting on Sunday,
October 5th, which will be a barbeque
held at the home of one of our newer
members, Mary Kubischta. Thank you Mary
for offering your home. I hope to see
many more members willing to host events
throughout the year. Just take a look at
the calendar portion of this newsletter
and anywhere you see a blank line is a
place for you to fill a need.
Here’s to a wonderful, snow-filled
2008-2009 ski season.

Past President's Message
The awards banquet/club meeting was
really good. There were 45 persons in
attendance. The racing awards and
trophies were overwhelming, the meeting
was short, which included the elections
of the new club officers, the facilities
and food at the La Piņata Mexican
Restaurant were excellent.
I want to commend all the past and
remaining officers and the appointed
chair persons. You all made my two-year
presidency exiting and fun. It was a
great honor to have worked with you all
and I look forward serving as your
Immediate Past President.
Dave V. Moody
Dues Due and Thanks to Ken Dean!
It’s that time of year again. Your
membership expires on June 30th, so how
about just taking that bright green
renewal form that fell out in your lap
when you opened the Ullr Newsletter and
fill out the front side and sign the
back side? Then write a check to the
“San Diego Ski Club” and mail it to
Amelia Putnam. Her address is on the
Membership Renewal form. Amelia is our
new Membership Chair. Please welcome
her, and when you see Ken Dean, shake
his hand with a big “thank you” for all
his years of dedicated Ski Club
salesmanship.
