Armand Gutierrez, President
Ten years ago NSC celebrated its 50th Anniversary with a ski week at Vail, staying at the Vail International Condominiums. Later that year, in June to be exact, NSC had a grand 50th Anniversary dinner at the Holiday Inn in San Jose. This year NSC made a return trip to Vail, again, staying at the Vail International Condominiums, and this month we will be having our 60th Anniversary dinner at the China Stix restaurant in Santa Clara. These events are not by coincidence, but by design. Does the word tradition come to mind? A tradition is a belief or behavior that is passed down from one generation to the next, and can be for a special occasion, cultural aspect, or an event with great significance. Past NSC traditions could include the yearly ski races and the Nikkei Matsuri fundraiser. Unfortunately, traditions, like the wind, come and go. Tevye (from Fiddler on the Roof) struggled to maintain his religious and cultural traditions when outside influences encroached upon his family’s lives. Over the years NSC had similar outside influences that affected the yearly ski races and the Nikkei Matsuri event. Perhaps it’s time to start a new tradition, a tribute to NSCs ability to succeed as a club for all these years, and the years to come. Looking forward to seeing you, off and on the slopes, in 2028.
Upcoming Events
60th NSC Anniversary Dinner in September – September 8th
The Anniversary Dinner is completely booked with 70 people looking forward to meeting old friends, reminiscing about the good old days in NSC, and, of course, dining on fine cuisine.
Big Sky Ski Week 2019
The Big Sky trip is moving along well and on track. Thanks to those that sent in the second payment and the final payment is due in October. If you had one of those escapable moments and forgot about the second payment then you can redeem yourself by sending it now. An even better idea would be to send in your total payment and be worry-free.
