July is over, and so is the hot weather towards the end of the month and we all survived 90+ temps. We may complain about the heat, but then it didn’t last that long and it was much hotter for longer in Arizona and New Mexico. I have no predictions for August. But keep in mind; there is talk about another La Niña year.

NSC Annual Membership Meeting and Luau Picnic

The NSC Annual Membership Meeting and Luau Picnic were held on Sunday, July 21st, and the weather was great, a great crowd of 50+ people, and a number of new faces. Everyone dined on a variety of cuisine, and the board was introduced. If you missed this event now you will have to wait until next year.

2025 NSC Ski Week

The Sun Peaks ski trip is going to change to a small “group” trip due to the lack of signups. In order for this trip to not be cancelled there needs to be at least 6-8 more signups so we can meet the minimum of 10 for air. So, if you’re sitting on the fence about going, then now is the time to submit your application. Can you be the person that will keep this trip alive? Sun Peaks has a lot to offer and there are plenty of lodging spaces available. For those of you that have made a deposit then August 15th is the due date for the second payment. Go to the NSC website and download the Sun Peaks Flyer, fill it out, and send it in (don’t forget your check). That’s the group shot after the Farewell Dinner at Sun Peaks in 2014.
