Bob Antal's NAASF SUMMER MEETING Report:
Held Friday June 14th, 2019 13:00
Special thanks to Scott and Heather Aldrich for Hosting!

We attended the NAASF summer meeting last week, and it was a solid success. Our Club was well represented: Raybo and Jan Mackown, Greg Gilger, Steve Amoia, KJ Johnson, Dennis Mellon, Julie Molano, Nathan Green and myself. There was a lot of interesting dialogue and discussion over some challenging issues. We debated vigorously for some issues important to our Club, and had some reasonable success. Results of the voting are available on the NAASF website. (Under "Info") We voted on the domestic sites for the 2021 season. It will be Steamboat, Taos and Telluride (I think I have that order correct, there may have been some partying afterward).

We will be having a pre season meeting in October at Nathan and Julie’s place. The exact date will be posted later. I hope you’ll try to be there. It’s a fun way to kick off the new season and reacquaint with friends.

We are stoked for the year ahead! Have a fantastic summer!

Notes From Outgoing President Nathan Green:

It's been an incredible season... lots of snow, great destinations, crazy fun and amazing people. It seems that Steamboat training camp was just yesterday and now it's the end of the season. Thank you all for playing with us in the snow this year but I want to recognize those who helped keep the wheels turning and produced such a fantastic year.

Bob Antal, providing managerial support and recruiting opportunities.
Greg Gilger, collecting your money and keeping our finances in order.
Jim Hershey, maintaining and ordering uniform items.
Jim Tullos, offering much needed advice and keeping us laughing.
Kati Conti, keeping us socially mediated and providing for our raffle in December.
Rick Schreiner, communicating to you club activities and information.
Earl Weintraub, keeping our website secure and up to date.
Mike Williams, Bill Boone, Erik Bergman,  coaching, organizing and seeding.

Also, TheEventDirector's (TED's)... they did a phenomenal job organizing each of our events.

Carol Kerr & Dan Rigterink, Bad Kleinkirchheim
Dennis Mellon, Crested Butte

Lastly, I want to show some love to three ladies who are very deserving.
Na Stewart, who consistently supplies NAASF with high value clothing items for the raffles in support of the NAASF Foundation. Na also orders and embroidery's all of our Dale of Norway sweaters and Jackets. (she's also a very fast skier)
Michelle Katzmann, for her vision and the creation of our beautiful "One Night in BKK" costume.
Julie Molano, she has been my proofreader, anchor, support, radar, and wake up call girl... oops "Wakeup Call" girl. If you were at the Crested Butte team dinner that was actually pretty funny. But seriously, Thank You Julie... for your intuition and patience over the past 2 years.

When Ted Rutherford asked me to be his wingman 2 years ago I was honored. Not sure I was deserving, but I felt compelled to do "my duty" and accept "the appointment". This club is a "Family" of AA employees/spouses/kids and friends who get together every winter season and have a common interest... Snow Sports and the Alpine experience. Although we had a great season, we unfortunately experienced the loss of two of our most beloved, "Tuck" Keleher and Mark Ralston. These fine gentlemen supported & selflessly contributed their time and resources to solidify the foundation that now supports our club. They both enjoyed friendships that were cherished and considered family. Your memories will never be forgotten... RIP Mark & Tuck. At Tuck's memorial in October and at Crested Butte as we remembered Mark... it was evident that these men were like brothers and fathers. My objective last year was to keep the energy rolling set forth by all of our previous officers and to continue the family environment. All of your suggestions and comments have helped me to be the catalyst to make this happen. I am humbled to have been an officer of this fine organization and I am confident Bob Antal and Danielle Honore will continue to "bring it" with fresh ideas and support as your new President and Vice President.

Have a great Summer and I'll see you at Steamboat next year!

NATHAN
