As I finish up the planning details for the EPSC fall dinner this week, I realize that I know most of the people coming to the dinner. It always makes it easier, socially, if you know people, and that's a good thing. What's not so good is that there is little new blood
at EPSC or in most of the member clubs. The same people come to the meetings and run the show.
That's a nice thing, if we were all in our 20's...however, it's a rare ski board member or EPSC rep who cannot remember where they were when Kennedy was assassinated.
(I recently ran into an 18 yr. old who didn't know who John Lennon was...that's the age we're looking for!?). Experience and wisdom are important factors in running an organization, but so is energy and initiative. Having younger people on board gives new life to an organzation.
We, at NPSC, are fortunate to have some new board members in recent years, and that has certainly been a plus for our group. I hope other EPSC member clubs are also bringing in new people, with new ideas!
Our annual auction is coming up in November, and we need all club members to
a) try to attend the auction, and b) solicit vendors, gift certificates, and other items to be put on the auction block. We've been successful in the past, and there is no reason to think we won't again, but we need everyone's help!
Jenny has worked hard putting together the solicitation letter, and mailing them to the appropriate people, but she does need our help!
Saturday, November 7th is the date, so mark it on your calendar!
