Hello OSTC Friends!
As we close out our amazing Ski Season and I bid farewell to my role as 1st VP of Trips, I wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge a very special group of people — our Trip Leaders this season: Steve Clark (Whistler), Mike Beckman (Keystone), Kathryn Hardage (Telluride, Spain), Chris Rose (Sun Valley), Terri-Lynn Smith & Kathy Nemeth (Steamboat), Jackie Warren (Maine, Alaska), Dale Ulmer (Scotland), and I ’ll throw my name in there as well, Cyndy Valence (Telluride, Iceland/Greenland).
As an all volunteer run travel club, we all stepped up to coordinate with our trip wholesalers to facilitate our trips. We spend months of our personal time working to prep and plan to make our trips as smooth, memorable, and FUN as possible. As group travelers, we often experience challenges be it air delays or missed connections, resort closures (looking at you Telluride!) buses, lodging, injuries (oh my!), you name it, and we all rise to occasion to the best of our ability while still trying to enjoy our ski week as well. To my fellow Trip Leaders, you are so appreciated!
THANK YOU to each and every one of you, as well as our Assistant Trip Leaders and Financial Assistants: Gunther Zurstadt (Whistler), Robin Beckman (Keystone), Devin Rose (Sun Valley), Shelley Daniel (Steamboat), and Debbie Ashworth (Alaska).
The wheels of this club would not turn if it weren ’t for all of our Volunteers! Serving as your 1st VP of Trips was a 2nd full-time job and A LOT of work, and I loved it. Chuck and I cherish the friendships we’ve made and plan to continue our full support of this wonderful Club. I hope you will as well.
XO,
Cyndy Valence, 1st VP of Trips |
