1 The Inside Edge A P u b l i c a t i o n o f t h e N e w a r k S k i C l u b Ski with the Best Newark Ski Club Meetings Where: The Otter Creek 5291 Bennington Chapel Rd. Johnstown, OH When: Social Hour 6:00 PM Club Meeting 7:00 PM Our September Membership meeting had a great turn out. It was good to see some old and new faces. Thank you to Kathy Kern for all her hard work at providing dinner and getting everyone s membership applications processed and membership cards to our members. We re looking forward to a great year with lots of fun activities both on the snow and off. This past month had a couple of great activities. I heard that Put in Bay was a lot of fun and several of us are zip lining across the Hocking Hills. Just because summer is coming to an end does not mean we won t be doing lots of fun things. Since fall is officially here and the leaves are beginning to change, the board thought this would be a great time to get out and enjoy the view at The Winery at Otter Creek again. Our October meeting will be held at The Winery at Otter Creek, 5291 Bennington Chapel Rd., Johnstown, OH. We will start socializing (i.e. drinking wine) at 6:00 pm with a meeting around 7:00 pm. We re asking everyone to bring an appetizer to share. For those of you who did not make it to our last meeting held there, it is a beautiful place on a small lake. We re hoping that the leaves will be in full color and we ll be able to be out on the deck. But if the weather is bad they also have a large indoor area. See everyone there!

Tim Crowley Director-At-Large Hi Folks, Joe s Activity Report I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer and had fun on the ski club trips and events. The Put-In-Bay campout was a lot of fun and it seems that the water fights from the Mohican canoe trip in August continued into ice fights at the pub on Put-In-Bay in September!!!! The island has calmed down to a roar with kids back in college. The Zip line trips were awesome!!! We have made trips to Spruce Hill next door to Snowtrails (Jan 8, 2010 monthly meeting location) and to Seven Springs Ski Resort in PA (tentatively the last weekend in Feb). We will have handouts for the October monthly meeting. October has events and the cruise!!! Bon Voyage!!! Actually we are hanging loose on the cruise. Last year in the Eastern Med cruise we wanted to visit all the historic sites so we had to get up very early to catch 730am buses!!! This cruise we are getting up at the Crack of Noon!!! LOL, LOL, LOL!!! pax and cheers, judojoe joe d phillips activities
