Dear Skiers & Riders
Our
first meeting for the 2008-2009 season will be
September 2nd, at 7:30pm., at the Playwright Restaurant & Pub, Whitney Avenue, Hamden.
*******************************************************************
Hamden Ski Clubs final summer outing was
outstanding. I want to thank Melanie for all her hard work. The outing
started out as a private party for the Hamden Ski Club and later we were joined
with friends from other ski clubs. We enjoyed the great weather and
partied to a live band
that was great. Melanie would like to thank Shawn Suto for manning the grill with his culinary expertise.
