I would like to thank all of the members for electing me President of what I consider to be the best club in the Midwest Region as well as one of the best clubs in the NBS.

Front Row (seated) - Howard Lewis, Charles "Chuck" Myrick

“Back-To-The-Basics “ is the theme of my term as president of Esprit.

I pledge that Back-To-The-Basics means more to me that just a catchy phrase. To me it means the following:

I. Communications
Timely communication and monthly updates on activities of the club
Monthly updates on the activities other clubs in the region, and the NBS.
Updated membership roster

II. Financial
Monthly treasure ’s report
Timely payments of refunds

III. Membership
Develop a marketingplan to attract new members

IV. Activities
Increase the number of local ski trips
Increase the participation with other clubs in our region
Promote activities that are supported by membership participation and are profitable

V. Meetings
Agendas will be prepared for each meeting
General body meetings will start on time at 6:30PM, second Tuesday of the month
Executive Board meeting will start at 5:00PM the second Tuesday of the month
Executive Board meetings are open to all members in good standing

In closing, for us to perform at the levels that I pledge we must have all members help by paying their renewal dues on time, trip payments must be paid on time, members must attend meetings and participate on one or more committees.
