2 LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Dear Quechee Club Members, As the Club's autumn activities transition to Winter, the season still offers a mural of colors as the backdrop to everything we love outdoors. For our year-round residets, each day the Club is here for your daily sporting and social needs. For our Members away from Quechee, plan a weekend getaway and invite your friends so they may enjoy what you have discovered. The Golf Courses were in amazing condition, the Fitness Facility and the Indoor Pool are busy keeping you all in top condition. Pickleball continues to grow with participation, Platform Tennis has begun and the snow making machinery is being tuned up. The 2018 calendar for social and sporting events are being formulated by the Committees and Department Heads, traditional events have been fine-tuned and new events will be added. Please continue to suggest events and tournaments that you experience at other clubs, we will add our Quechee magic to it and make it our own success! As a new flatlander to this area of Vermont, my eyes are wide with the spectacle of Autumn colors and my anticipation for winter. While in a local barber shop I overheard local farmers predict record cold temperatures and snowfall this winter. I quietly cheered the news for all of us. Skiing, Ice Skating, Sledding, Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing offer opportunities to keep to the outdoors in the Vermont tradition. Whether indoors warming by Murphy s Farm fire, socializing and dining at Davidson s or enjoying the events at Dewey s there is a spot for you. You ll be smiling about how lucky you are to have this special place in Quechee Vermont. See you at the Club.

19 QLLA CHARITIES VOLUNTEERING AT QUECHEE AND THE UPPER VALLEY Quechee is a very special place, and part of that is the vast array of volunteer activities in which members can become involved. We have volunteer opportunities right here in Quechee and throughout the Upper Valley, which cover a large circle of communities in VT and NH. QLLA Charities, Inc. is the service arm of Quechee Lakes Landowners Association and sponsors several charitable functions each year to help support our extended community. THE HAVEN FOODSHELF IN WILDER, VT The Foodshelf helps Upper Valley families who are in need of a helping hand with food and home supplies. QLLA Charities sponsors an ongoing effort to contribute to the Foodshelf with non-perishables. Examples of appreciated products are: cereals, peanut butter, canned vegetables, canned beans, rice, pasta, and spaghetti sauce. Almost anything, that you might need to support your family, would be welcomed at the Foodshelf. We have drivers who pick up the items every week and deliver them to The Haven. To drop off your donated food items put them in the boxes located in the Base Lodge and at the Fitness Center. Contact Reggie Hankin at Reggie0115@aol.com for more information.
