GRINDELWALD’S VISIT TO INGRID WICKEN’S SKI LIBRARY

APRIL 22, 2017 & POTLUCK For those of you who have never been to the Ski Library in Norco, it will be a

wonderful surprise to see all the memorabilia she has collected; and, for those of

you who have never seen our trophy case, now is your chance.

Judy Lafferty is hosting the potluck, we are proposing two alternatives for our

members.

1. They meet at Judy’s at 11:00 AM and carpool to the library.

2. They meet at the Library at 12:00 PM tour, and then go back to Judy’s for the

potluck.

Please let Ann Lawson know if you plan to go. Call 323-666-1039 or e-mail

her at Lawild7@aol.com. Ann will also provide directions.

APPLICATIONS FOR LIFE MEMBERS

Applications for Life membership consideration are being taken at

this time. The process for becoming a Life Member requires that the

person seeking to become a Life Member make a written application,

the Board of Directors verify the qualifications, and a majority of the

members attending the annual meeting vote to make the person a

Life Member.

The eligibility requirements for Life membership are:

1. Maintain Active membership for twenty (20) years or more.

2. During that time actively participate in Club projects and

social functions; and

3. Demonstrate continuous interest in promotion of the Club.

Because the Annual Meeting this year is APRIL 19, 2017 and the

Board must verify the qualifications before the meeting, applications

for consideration this year must be submitted very soon. Please mail

or email any applications to Philip G. Grant, 885 N. Holliston Ave.,

Pasadena, CA 91104 or pggrant@charter.net.
