Diann is a native New York skier from Brantling Mountain and is an Olympic Gold Medal winner at Lillehammer in Super G. Diann is uniquely qualified to share her solid fundamentals and world beating tactics with our JIVs and is excited to return to Gore Mountain.
The club is planning a "meet and greet" time with her immediately after training on Saturday, 1/30, afternoon. ALL parents and racers are welcome to come by the training center, have a snack, bring your camera and something to autograph. See attachment.
For JVs and JVIs: Save the date -- Sunday, March 14th will be the annual picnic and awards.
For JIVs and up: Save the date -- Saturday evening, March 27th will be the annual banquet at The Lodge On Echo Lake in Warrensburg.
Kathie Donohue is working on putting the finishing touches on the club directory, so if you want your family included, please join ASAP. I've attached the membership form. Please mail it to her (her address is on the bottom of the form) or give it & your dues to one of the club officers. Remember -- to attend the banquet on 3/27, you need to be a member...
We'd also like to express our condolances to Tanya Gaechter and her family. Her father passed away Monday night. For those who don't know Tanya, she works in the NYSEF office as our race/office coordinator. Bud Yablonsky, her brother, and his family are emeritus members of the club. Their Dad's obituary can be found here: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/northjersey/obituary.aspx?n=michael-d-yablonsky&pid=138986548
Please note that the obituary incorrectly notes the funeral mass at 9 AM on Saturday. It is going to be at 10 AM.
Finally, on Tuesday this week, the Olympic Alpine Team was announced. Andrew Weibrecht (Whiteface NYSEF) made the team! For more details see http://www.usskiteam.com/alpine/news?storyId=2382
