Sick and tired of snow? Of course not! That's why we're planning a Ski Trip
to Wilmot Mountain, Wisconsin in 2 weeks! All the snowing is making it a
great time to ski! (You can practice for it on the streets right now!)

The date will be Saturday, February 1. We will gather in front of the Main
Library. Please take car pool so the least # of people have to drive. Fuel
expanse I'm pretty sure will be reimbursed by CSA.

Everyone please spread the news and participate, especially those of you who
have not skiied before this is a great opportunity. Plus, if 20 or more people
go, we will get a nice discount.
