It is safe to say 2020 has not been the easiest year. We are living in unprecedented and challenging times. It is more important than ever to reflect and focus on the things for which we are grateful.

What am I grateful for? This is my first year as President of the Lancaster Ski Club. I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve as the President of a Club that has offered me the opportunity to lead the Club with the confidence and support of an outstanding Board of Directors, Trip Committee, Committee Chairs and you, our members.

I am incredibly grateful for the privilege of being a member of the Lancaster Ski Club for several decades and look forward to many more. This Club has offered me the opportunity to “Ski the World” both domestically and internationally.

Even though the pandemic required us to alter our scheduled trips, social events, and monthly meetings, I am so grateful that the Lancaster Ski Club Board and Committees were still able to continue giving to the Special Olympics Ski Program and to local High School Ski/Snowboard Programs to help offer local students the opportunity to get out and enjoy the wonderful world of skiing and boarding, especially during these unprecedented times.

Look out 2021! The LSC Board and I are looking forward to you with renewed energy to push forward as soon as we are able and to having our Trip Committee organizing and offering great ski/boarding trips, our Social Committee running our signature fundraisers and events and most importantly, some celebrating. Why the celebration? This 2021 year represents the 75^th year of the Lancaster Ski Club. We will be working on a great way to help celebrate the 75^th Anniversary of this great Club!

One of the biggest reasons that our Club has been able to provide such great trips, social events, and give back to our community over the 75-year span is because of all the volunteers from the great membership and leadership over the many years. To continue for another 75 plus years, we will need the help of YOU, our membership. Consider volunteering at our events, participating on one of the Committees and even volunteering for a Board position.

Stay tuned! We will continue to keep you posted on all upcoming events. To stay in touch, be sure you are signed up to receive the monthly postcard that is mailed to each member, “Steep & Deep” which is published monthly and posted on our lancasterskiclub.net website, our Facebook page, Meet-Up and, of course, our regular E-Blasts that offer you the latest updates. Reach out to our Flyer Chairperson to confirm you are signed up.

For 2021, please stay healthy and safe, have a great season, and as always, Think Snow!

Jon Doman

President
