2 Volume 1 Issue 4 Page 2 NWSCC Ski Fair Date Set for November 17 I know, I know, it is later than usual this year. That means we have a little more time to make this the best booth ever for Skiyente. The theme is Ticket to Slide. Winner receives their NWSCC dues paid and of course, bragging rights. Again this event will be held at the Holiday Inn Airport location. See Amanda Moran or Meg Spillman to be a part of this fun event.

Linda Matusow and Wendy Morseth LeAnne Fanning and Jill Parshall somehow found a table! Allison and Eileen start off with salad. Yes Laurel, members may bring their beverage of choice. Woo Hoo!!! Tina Lyons and Barb Abalan enjoyed the happy hour social. 2

3 Volume 1, Issue 4 Page 3 Fall Fundraisers Chinook Books at October Meeting It s that time of year again to help out with our fundraisers. Proceeds generally go to either our charities or operating expenses, so either way, they help do great things! Is it better to give than to receive? Well, with Chinook Books, you can do both! It literally only takes a couple coupons to make back your $15 or $20. With free car washes, half price plays, you are there already. Plus it s a wonderful way to check out new restaurants and shops. The mobile app has a feature that will show you what is nearby so you won t miss that free appetizer at Happy Hour! Skiyente earns half of whatever is sold. The books sell for $20 and the mobile apps sell for $15 which means we make $10 and $7.50, respectively, for each item sold. Please consider asking friends, family and coworkers if they would be interested in buying one. They also make great gifts for the holidays, so maybe they will want to buy more! Interested in supporting environmentally conscious businesses? Chinook Book contains only goods and services that meet their high standards for green and sustainable business practices and products. The coupons are effective NOW and good thru October Peg will have them available at the October meeting, and you can take however many you think you will be able to sell and bring the money and any unsold items back to the next meeting. So go Green as you go Sell. Entertainment Books at October Meeting Look for the stacks of Entertainment Books on a table near you at the October meeting. Tons of deals from fast food on the go, sports stores like Dicks and many discounts from several of the major theaters, great dining and fantastic pizza (Like the ones we had at our last meeting)! Never pay full price. Got a difficult person to buy for in our area? This is the perfect gift and they can decide what to do. Carry them in your car so to be always there when you need it. You can take as many as you want and not pay until you sell them But time is limited. We need to turn all books and money back to the club by the December meeting.

Skiyente Continues the Spirit of Giving The name Skiyente has become synonymous with giving. Not only because we are women who are naturally nurturers, but because we want to give back to the community that has given us so much in the way of natural beauty, the great outdoor spirit and one another. The richness of the Skiyente friendships and the networking of Skiyente events has been a cohesive factor bringing us more in line with the entire mountain community. This year Skiyente will be giving a donation to the Mt. Hood Museum and Cultural Center as well as the Erin Nicole Scholarship Fund. In January or February the board will be asking you for your ideas of a third recipient. Please keep this in mind as you sit on the chairlift or are driving home after a beautiful day on the slopes.
