Extra News: The Exchange Restaurant is donating a few extra door prizes that will run with our 50/50.

From our president, Glenn Desantis:

Charlie Toole will be a guest speaker on 10-17-07 directly after our general meeting. He will discuss some pre-season fitness & training helpful for skiers. There was some interest with a few members looking into a “Club Hike” over the summer.

The following is an excerpt from an email Charlie sent me;

Hi Glenn,

My name’s Charlie Toole, Sean Kelly suggested that I contact you. He tells me you’re interested in getting some fitness and outdoor activities going with your ski club. I would like to attend one of your next meetings to discuss group and personal fitness and conditioning classes, maybe a group hike and any other activities in which you may be interested. I’ve been a fitness trainer for many years and have a great deal of experience working with athletes of all ages and abilities.

I’ve attached a flyer with the same info that you can give to your members so they can get an idea of what’s involved. The activities are fun, challenging and produce quick results for all athletes. The hikes are at various locations around the Morris, Sussex and Passaic county areas and can be geared for different fitness levels.

GET IN SHAPE THIS FALL AND ENJOY BETTER PERFORMANCE AND MORE FUN ON THE SLOPES!

Charlie Toole

Craigmeur Constitution & By-Laws Review Committee

Craigmeur Members -

Our club has grown significantly in the last few years and we have now reached the threshold
of maximum membership enrollment at 180 memberships, as defined by the Craigmeur Constitution.  More people are interested in joining our Club which presents new challenges in accomodating current and potential new members fairly.

Craigmeur’s Executive Board decided in January 2007 to review the existing Club Constitution and
By-Laws to consider modifications to accomodate current and potentail club memberships. 

In June 2007, the Constitution & By-Law Review Committee established the following stated goals:

-Clarification of existing verbiage
-Addition / Removal / Modification of criteria to better frame intent of By-Laws
-Define ambiguous terms to allow for more precise interpretation of By-Laws
 

For your consideration are two documents: Craigmeur Constitution-April 2005 version; 2007 R8 Working Draft of Craigmeur Constitution, which includes all recommended changes highlighted in RED.

Craigmeur Constitution & By-Laws April 2005

Craigmeur By-Laws R8 Working draft

Based upon input from the Review committee and concerned members, a final document was created and accepted by the Craigmeur Executive Board at the September 05 meeting.  The Executive Board voted on September 05, 2007 to recommend this document be ratifed as the new Craigmeur Constitution and By-Laws.

The general membership of Craigmeur Ski Club must approve this document before it can be fully implemented by the Club.  You, as a Club member, will receive a post card and an email requesting your paticipation in reviewing the recommended changes.

The notice will also request your attendance to a Club meeting on a defined date to vote upon the document for acceptance or not.  A simple majority vote of two thirds of members present is required to accept this document as the current Club Constitution. 

There will be no further modifications to the document prior to a vote by Craigmeur general membership.

Your voting options are : Yes / No / Abstain.

Please take some time to review these documents and be ready to cast your vote.
Thank You

Chris Budd

It’s time for another Pizza/ Bowling Party! This year’s event promises to be even better than last year’s. I decided not to take a chance on running out of bowling lanes so this year we are going BIG….and reserved the entire 24 lanes of the Rockaway Bowling Lanes for this event! The fun starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 9:30pm

The cost is only $20.00 person and includes:

• Unlimited Bowling
• Shoes
• Pizza
• Soda

The event is open to members, families, and friends. The cut off date is October 27, 2007. However, once I fill up all 24 lanes with a minimum of 4 people, I will be unable to accept any more reservations. Incredibly, I have already received reservation checks and more are coming in. These commitments happened even before last Wednesday’s club meeting.

Once again the camaraderie of Craigmeur Ski Club members and events that offer great family fun is the reason we enjoy so many successful events. So for good times and spending some quality time with family and friends, plan on joining us for Bowling and Pizza night.

Please click on the poster or the link below to print your application and follow the instructions on the form for mailing in your reservation. Hurry! Don’t be left out! Sign up now before it’s too late!

This event is replacing the Membership Night. It is going to be an entertaining night and some ski vendors may be attending.

Bill Siudmak, member of Craigmeur Ski Club and President of Backstage Media, LLC, will be loaning his slide show equipment. We will have a chance to view photographs covering events from the last 12 months and reminisce about the past.

Roy Spierer is going to work his magic and is planning on contacting many vendors to ask them to offer prizes on this night. Last year Roy was able to come up with some spectacular prizes. Lets see if he can keep his winning streak going with vendors. The clock is ticking and the pressure is on. Go get em Roy!
