sent in their membership renewals yet. Aug 31 is the deadline

possible, make sure we have your correct information & (very
important) a current e-mail address. Kay
wants to thank you all in advance for your prompt attention
to the renewal process. Avoid the late fee and get your
renewal in now! Please mail to the address listed on the
application. Don't you dare let your membership in this
incredible organization lapse! |

Who is this MTL member????
 We're
starting a contest that will probably run for a year or so.
Each Wednesday in the website, we'll publish the high school
graduation photo of a current member. Guess the identity and
submit your answer to webmaster@mtlski.com. A week later and
each succeeding Wednesday at the meeting we will announce
who's pictured and how many correct responses we received.
Maybe there should be a prize for the person most folks
recognize because that person has changed the least over the
years! So dig out those yearbooks and scan your photo. Email
it to me. If you don't have the 12th grade photo, I guess we
could accept back to 8th grade. Earlier than that will just
be too hard to recognize. This is going to be fun!

Shelter Island Bike Trip
This coming Saturday, the 25th, sees the return of the
always-popular Shelter Island Bike Ride. John Bazzano is
spearheading this event. Take the ferry from New London to
Orient Point. Lunch will take place at a Fireman's
Fundraiser. If you've never done this ride, you've missed a
great one! Plan on meeting at the ferry in New London at 8:30
am. The ferry departs at 9:00. This is a joint ride with New
Haven Ski Club and the Appalacian Mountain Club. |

Lobster Roast
The Tradition Continues! Always a popular event, the Lobster
Roast signals the winding down of summer and gets us thinking
about fall foliage and the ultimate return to the slopes.

forget to send in your
reservation by September 10th. |

Open House
Mark your calendars for September 19th when we schedule our
annual
Open House. This is the best opportunity to attract new
members to this extraordinary organization. Make it a point
to bring at least one potential member that night. We'll have
booths devoted to all our activities as well as
representatives of resorts and area ski shops. Don't miss
it! While we're on the subject of recruiting, remember to
keep a supply of our business cards with you at all times.
The cards are in the process of being revised and reordered. |

out of hotel rooms but is taking names on a waiting list.
They do have five 2 bedroom slopeside condos. Act fast!
