Hello everyone, Winter is coming quickly(hopefully). Just wanted to give some updates on the Shepherd SnowClub and what our plans are for the year.
As soon as Caberfae opens we will start taking Sunday Trips. This looks like it will probably be the first or second weekend of December depending on the weather.
Our DodgeBall fundraiser will be held in the spring this year because of the new gym construction taking place at Shepherd. The DodgeBall Tournament is scheduled for March 13th, 2010. We may have other fundraising opportunities before then so stay tuned for information about that.
Another thing we are offering this year is a special contest geared towards First Timers and bringing friends. This will be a contest each week that any group of two people that include at least one person who is new to the SnowClub Trips will be entered into a drawing to each get a free lift ticket and free rental. So if two friends that have never gone before decide to come they will be entered and so would one veteran who brings along a friend who has never gone before. They will each then win a free lift ticket and rental if necessary on that day and will only need to pay the $5 transportation fee.
SnowClub also has lots of merchandise available that would make great Holiday Gifts. We still have the new T-Shirts and Hooded Sweatshirts available. Another thing that is offered is Shepherd SnowClub Gift Certificates. These can be purchased and used for Sunday Trips, the Overnight Trip and apparel. If anyone is interested in any of these items please contact Dave Brandt at 989-506-1621 or dbsnowslider@gmail.com.
The Overnight Trip this year is scheduled for March 7th and 8th. The approximate price will again be $75. More information will be coming soon concerning the overnight.
Then just a few reminders about the website from last year.
Don’t forget to check out videos and pictures with the various links around the website.
Advance SignUp for trips is still available and encouraged. If you know you are going to be attending a Sunday Trip please fill out the SignUp on the website so that we have some kind of idea of the number of people attending. If you are unsure if you are coming or decide to come at the last minute, great we’ll see you on Sundays, SignUp is not necessary.
