President's Message 

Your Board is working hard. We had the first Board Meeting of the new fiscal year on July 11, 2019. The new 2019/2020 Budget was adopted, and the club continues to be in solid financial health.

We know that it is hard to think about the holidays when we are experiencing a heat wave, however, your Program Director, Robin Beckman, is planning a special holiday party for our members. Will keep you posted.

A few weeks ago, OSTC officially kicked off the 2020 ski season by posting all ski and travel trips on the Club’s website. The response was overwhelming, with over 300 trip reservations.

Then last Sunday, we hosted the annual Trip Sales Kick-off Event at Dubsdread Country Club. It was a great turnout. Lots of door prizes and trip credits were drawn. We had another 28 trips sold. As always, these great results would not have been possible without the hard work of our Trip Leaders, the Board. and tour operators. Everyone is working together to make the 2019-2020 ski season unforgettable.

Good news, you still have time to register for a trip. Space is limited, so don’t delay. Please be sure to tell your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors about OSTC and our trip offerings, non-ski activities and socials at Miller’s Ale House. We welcome new members!

Don’t forget our next social is August 14th. See you at Miller’s Ale House. 



Regards,

Rhonda Ulmer

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Hi, OSTC members,  I am David Miller, and  I'm presently your Florida Ski Council Delegate.. A little about myself and how I became a SKIER.. My age doesn't matter, let us  just say  I'm a mature adult male.. Single  and retired... After  my upbringing in W.Va. I served in the USAF for 6 yrs,  which is where I eventually learned to ski.** In  Alaska.** we'll say the early 60's.. and after getting some of the basics down the Air Force and I decided we should part company.  So I came to Orlando Fl. due to my parents having moved here while I was in the service.       It turned out that there was no where to ski in Florida except in the water and the few times I did, well  that did not turn out well.. I eventually  secured a job in law enforcement, a local dept,  Winter Park Police Dept.  In the time I was with the Dept, I had rediscovered skiing when I found the Orlando Ski Club,, Well things had changed a little in the skiing world but not much... So after a lot of lessons I  felt I had my ski legs back .And my wife at the time (just married) and I  had our Honeymoon with the very first Florida Ski Council trip with the OSC to Copper Mountain Club Med.. That was in 1984. The OSC  was a Charter member in the Florida Ski Council... In another couple of years I became President of the OSC.. The Club was growing  with a lot of enthusiasm and leadership in every office and board position.. In 1988    I  became an officer in the Florida Ski Council   and  served  the  FSC   for  4  years: 2 years Treasurer and 2 years as  2nd Vice President..                     

 By this time I was a Deputy Sheriff with Orange County Sheriffs Office .. I continued serving on the board of the OSC in various positions, where ever I could help the club.  The Club was doing great with younger leadership keeping up with the times, Yes the computer age was upon us and we (The OSC) had to change with the times.  In the  years since the late 90's I have also volunteered to be the Race Captain for the club on the January Florida Ski Council Trip of each year .. After many years and many 2nd and third place finishes The Orlando Ski Club finally won the Florida Ski Council Race Cup in 2018  and then guess what,, YEP !! we won it again in 2019.. And we are going for a threepeat in 2020 in Snowmass..  Hope to see You on the Slopes....
