Hello FALL!!! Our September membership gathering was awesome! Sponsor Madden Physical Therapy got us all excited to start conditioning for the upcoming Ski Season, and Susquehanna Ski Club is delighted in all who attended, both new and old members! Our trips for 2027 are almost full, including the Lake Placid bus trip led by a new trip leader, Brian Royer, and our just-launched non-ski trip to Iceland is already sold out! Our trip committee led by Trip VP Mike Kreamer is encouraging suggestions and locations in PA for day trips. Please reach out to a board member, or a trip committee member to express your interest and or take the initiative to lead a day trip or two.

Social gatherings will continue up at Roundtop Mountain Resort this winter. Social VP Susan Klingaman is planning some dates just like our summer deck parties and is looking for a few members to facilitate. Call or email Susan K or the board at contactssc@gmail.com.

A reminder, if you have not done so, to please renew your membership for the 2026-27 year, and share with your active friends this great Ski-and-more club! Join us at our Annual Get-Acquainted Party held at Roundtop November 21st this year, and building on the success of the “picnic” style format, please plan on attending and not only enjoying the evening with friends but learning more about Roundtop Mountain Resort this up and coming season. Again, thank you to our great sponsors, stop in and explore their businesses this fall and winter season!

Lastly, I must pause to remember the life of a wonderful, kind, funny and delightful individual, Dolly Parton. Her legacy as a philanthropist will ripple like waves on a pond on through numerous generations. Perhaps the most significant thing that I learned was about her Imagination Library initiative which delivered over 332 million books to more than 3 million children, emphasizing her belief in the importance of literacy and education. If only some of the rest of us could have the power she did to impact so many. I hope that our next generation will learn to read and understand the value of literacy.

Live life and enjoy happiness!!
