Hello Fagowees - While we in the midst of another topsy-turvy
winter, there is still time to sign up for some great trips. We
have Swain, Bristol, Holimont and Holiday Valley locally and
there may still be spots for Crested Butte. Don’t delay and miss
out on the fun. Our trips are fantastic and if you are a newbie,
sign up,
come and let the fun (and beer) begin!
As usual the Fagowees have a little bit of everything going on.
In the midst of winter we have already approved three summer
trips, the Anniversary Party, Indians Tailgate and the Halloween
Party. Our fearless ghoulish trip leaders Martina and Rich have
secured the great band from last year, AbbyNormal. Consider this
a Presidential tip, the band rocked and the costumes were
amazing! All the beautiful people will be at that party;
thankfully they made an exception for me. Plus we are already
working on great ski trips for 2009.
Not only do we have a gondola load of trips and activities this
winter, planning for the upcoming year’s activities is well
under way. The success of the Fagowees is and always has been
our members always step up to plate (or should it be the
starting gate) to work together to get things done. Only the
Fagowees would have a party to plan the summer’s parties. Mark
your calendars, the summer planning party is March 15th and you
don’t want to miss it and the annual election is April 1.
With that in mind, here are the President’s top ten reasons to
run a trip or be a board member.
10. Board members get a really
spiffy white name badge so everyone knows that you
are impotent, I mean important.
9. Trip Leaders get to buy the beer or brand of Spam that
they like.
8. Other than a police report, how else can you get your
name in print?
7. You get to throw a fantastic party and invite your
Fagowee friends without paying
for it yourself.
6. You get to turn people on to things that you like to do.
There is nothing like hooking
someone on a sport, activity, band, etc.
5. As a Board member you actively participate in the
operation and decision making
of the Club.
4. Trip leaders get to write the history of the trip. You
can lampoon your friends,
publish pictures of really silly stuff and imbue yourself
with superhuman powers.
On my trips, my team always wins, I am the hero of the game,
I always get the girl
and lastly, I am very humble about it all.
3. As a Board member, you are in the know.
2. You can double your fun by being both a Board member and
a trip leader. There is
work involved but we have many hands to make the workload
easier plus you get
to work, play and drink with your friends.
1. Some of the greatest, funniest, coolest people you will
ever meet are out there
waiting for you to find by being a trip leader or Board
member.
Christee B., our elections chair,
April R., our summer social and Carrie L, our winter
social can answer any questions that you may have about being a
Board Member and/or Trip Leader, talk to them. You can also talk
to anyone with a spiffy white name badge.
Lastly, Fagowee DOC prescribes a ski trip this month to cure the
winter blahs.
Dennis
President, Cleveland Fagowees
