Hello All Coastal Ski & Outing Club Members,

Although it’s been 6 months since we have been able to be operate “normally“, we keep trying by adding more socially distancing activities to our monthly event calendar.  Take some time to look over what is on the CSOC Website Event Calendar and sign up for the ones that strike your fancy.

We once again need monthly event coordinators.  If you are interested in organizing events for October or November, please contact Gene Young at 317-407-6989.

We look forward to reconnecting with you at our first face-to-face monthly meeting on September 8 at the Myrtle Beach State Park.  Come early to enjoy the beach!  The meeting will start at 6PM.  Keep in mind that things will be quite different as we manage our “new normal”.  We will need to follow the guidelines of the State Park.  Since we will be a large gathering of people, everyone is required to wear a mask in the shelter (except while eating or drinking).  Please come prepared with your own masks.  The club will NOT provide food or drink at the meeting!  Please BYOB in appropriate containers (alcohol is not permitted at the beach) and BYO food/snacks.  Although it’s not necessary, you might want to bring your own chairs, especially if you prefer to sit outside of the shelter.

As of now, 81 members have renewed their CSOC membership.  Collection of annual membership dues will continue for the 2020-21 season.  If payment is not received by the September meeting, your membership will become inactive.  To continue your membership, just complete the membership application, which was emailed to you in the Weekly Communication dated July1, or print a copy from the website.  You can bring it to the meeting or mail the application, along with your check for $25 for each member, to CSOC, PO Box 8043, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy,

Elena Moglia

BOOK CLUB HAPPENINGS—SEPTEMBER 2020

We had our first in-person Book Club meeting on Monday, August 31^st at Faith Campbell’s house.  It was great to visit with the nine attendees face-to-face, and catch up with how we’ve each been doing during this pandemic quarantine.

We had a great discussion about the book, Angela’s Ashes.  Judy Bledsoe led the discussion (Margie Wood was scheduled to be the leader via Zoom, but was unable to join us).

Books were selected for the rest of this year, and plans made to continue in person meetings, with limited attendance.

Members were encouraged to bring 1-2 books with them next month, and exchange with others.

Next month’s book is Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson, and we will meet at Karen Fitch’s house a 6:30 on September 28^th
