Membership Activity
May was just a flurry of renewals, former members joining, and new memberships as members took advantage of the early sign-up discount. There were a total of 37 signups, with four new members joining NSC for the first time, which handily beats last year’s 26 early signups. Currently we have 44 members (including the seven board members), which is a record for early signups. Last year we had a total of 52 members and it looks like we’ll surpass that in June.
I would like to welcome new members Teresa and Warren Miller from Live Oak, and David Schultz and Lieu Lieu from San Jose. I’ve known Teresa and Warren for several years and have skied with them up at Tahoe. We also skied and stayed at the same hotel on the FWSA Zermatt ski week this past March. David and Lieu have been on Hoyt’s summer hikes and have wanted to join NSC for several years.
In addition to new members there were nine former members that have returned to NSC, most likely for the Jackson Hole trip in 2015. The return of former members is exciting because it’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces.
Jackson Hole Ski Week (24-31 January 2-15)
Last month the board met Matt Hollis from Sports America at our May board meeting. Matt provided us with information about the Jackson Hole trip and I’ve been working with him to finalize the lodging arrangements. For details on this great trip see the Jackson Hole flyer in the June Newsletter. This trip appears to be quite popular and I’ve already expanded the available airline seats from 40 to 50.
I’m also getting indications that the Jackson Hole trip might bring in a few members that we haven’t seen in quite awhile so hopefully that will mean more signups in the coming months.
