WE CELEBRATED THE SEASON AT OUR CLOSING PARTY MARCH 20TH.  PRESIDENT JIM REYNOLDS THANKED THE MANY PEOPLE INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING OUR CLUB A SUCCESS INCLUDING OUR "RETIRING" BOARD MEMBERS ELLIOT GORDON, PAULA IDAROLA AND HAL NELSON FOR THEIR MANY YEARS OF SERVICE!  ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND BOARD MEMBERS FOLLOWED WITH A UNANIMOUS VOTE!

51 MEMBERS TOOK PART IN OUR SKI CLINICS THIS YEAR WITH AWARDS TO DEBBIE SHIELDS FOR MOST IMPROVED WOMAN, MIKE TURNER MOST IMPROVED MAN, DR. AL TRACHTENBERG MOST MISSED, AND LOIS GIBNEY "ONE TOUGH NUT".  SPECIAL AWARDS WERE PRESENTED BY JACK & SHIRLEY MEYER.  THE DALE ALLEN OFF PISTE AWARD WENT TO ALICE FRINO AND THE MICHELIN WOMAN AWARD HONORED JUDY REYNOLDS.

ANOTHER SPECTACULAR SKI SEASON MAY BE COMING TO A CLOSE BUT YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO GET IN ON THE BEST SPRING CONDITIONS IN VERMONT!  STRATTON WILL BE OPEN UNTIL APRIL 12!

IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE NOTE THE PASSING OF LONG TIME MEMBER, DORIS BASS.   SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY AND NUMEROUS FRIENDS. 

"THE STRATTON FOUNDATION THANKS ALL OF THE TRAILBLAZERS THAT VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME AND EFFORT DURING THE 24 HOURS OF STRATTON!  THE EVENT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL, GROSSING OVER $250,000.  THE PROCEEDS WILL BE USED TO HELP FAMILIES IN NEED, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, IN SOUTHERN VERMONT. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL AND THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN PLACE THIS YEAR WORKED WELL - NO REPORTED INJURIES."
