Election of three board members will take place during the Annual Meeting following dinner.

Joan Strzelecki, Josh Kiem and Marlene Berman have been nominated to run for the Chicagoland Club 50 — Ski & Sports board.

Any other current Club 50 member may be nominated from the floor or in advance of the meeting. All members are encouraged to run for the board or assist the Club in a non-elected position as adviser to the board.

This election is for choosing board members. Those members then elect the officers. The board meets a few times a year on Zoom.

Please contact VP Joseph Strzelecki (630-664-4165) jstrzel@gmail.com if you want to run for the board, be an adviser to the board or have any questions.

Club 50 has a flash trip list for skiing and one for hiking/biking. A detailed email describing each flash trip list, how to get on either list and how to instigate a flash trip was sent to you a while back. You don’t remember getting that email? Contact Josh through Club50Flash@yahoo.com.
The team of Josh Kiem and Earl Lemberger have a pretty good record going – six attempted flash trips with four successful ones. Successful means adequate snow and people to ski. Josh is the one who sends out the flash notices to those on the flash list, and Earl is the point man who gets everyone together for a spontaneous day of skiing and lunch at Wilmot. Many thanks to both!

Joe Strzelecki volunteered to give Club 50 a Facebook presence ̶ a private page for all of us with a Facebook account to post photos and comments and also a public page to advertise Club 50 to those over 50 years of age looking for an active sports life. Joe has volunteered to be the administrator of both.
