Hello All Coastal Ski & Outing Club Members,

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!    Can you believe Summer is OVER?!?!  Kids are back to school......  AND  THE BEACH IS OURS AGAIN!!!   

What a GREAT (and HOT) August we had - Lots of fun activities...   Thank you Faith Campbell and Sally Hucks....  Dinner & Steel Magnolias in Georgetown  and the PieEyed Booze boat were GREAT!! as were all the other activities you planned although, I'm still not over losing $$$ on the casino boat :-( .  The 3-day wine trip to NC originally scheduled for August has been moved to Sept 15-17.  Please sign up if you still want to go.  

We have a great lineup of activities for September thanks to Bill Neumann and Linda Rodgers...   I can't wait to jump out of a perfectly good airplane on Saturday, Sept 11.....    Please come and join Darin, Bruce, Laura, and myself as we do this awesome jump....  on 9/11 - no less!!  We really will appreciate your prayers and support!!   We'll go have lunch together afterwards and share our experiences... 

REMEMBER, September meeting at the State Park needs your help....  Bring a covered dish to share....  If you don't, we won't eat, as the Club is only providing cake and water!!!.   

Also in September we are looking forward to CCU football, music in the park, NC wine tour, MORE booze boat rides, kayaking, and Book Club. 

Please remember to sign up for the activities you want to attend, so we don’t have to cancel an event because of lack of interest.  ALSO!!!  If you have signed up for an event, and something happens, and you can’t attend, PLEASE … CANCEL on the website, and/or call the monthly coordinator, so they can adjust plans.  

THANK YOU to all of you who have renewed your membership.  So far, we have 106 paid members.  That's really GOOD for this time of year!

John Schwartz is still planning a trip for us to Tahoe March 5-12, 2022 (yes, there will be skiing as well as OTHER activities for non skiers), so please check it out on our web site and let John (zzz11694@gmail.com) know if you are interested.  It will be similar to the Austria trip - only domestic!  Prices for this trip are changing somewhat, and we may have to partner with another ski club, but if you are interested, please let John know.   

Since COVID-19 is still an issue, Your Board of Directors decided that if YOU have not had BOTH of your COVID-19 vaccination shots, we are requesting that you wear a mask to the monthly meeting and for events where you are in close contact with other members (i.e. all other events). We will have masks at our meeting, and hope that you will respect this request. 

That’s it for now, hope to see you at Skydiving in Southport, our next meeting and at some OR ALL of the events planned for SEPTEMBER!!  SIGN UP AND STAY SAFE!!
