We are a non-profit, member run, Sports and Adventure Club operating in Houston, Texas for 50+ years. We offer 8 - 12 winter and summer trips per year, all over the world.

Our social, sports, cultural, and charitable events fill the calendar year-round. From September to May we have fun monthly general meetings normally held the 2nd Monday of the month. Happy Hours are the 4th Thursday of each month, year-round.

Popular local Houston Area activities this year were monthly dance lessons, monthly dinner gatherings, theater outings, and winery/brewery tours. Activities are run by volunteers, if there is something you are interested in doing, make a suggestion and we will consider offering it.

Initial trip sales generally start in August and sell briskly, so act quickly to avoid landing on a wait-list. Trip participation requires membership but it is only $40 for an Individual for an entire season. Have a look around and we hope you decide to Join Us.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT LYNN BURCH

Greetings SCSC’ers!

Wishing everyone Happy New Year! We have all been through a lot this last year and hopefully we will have a much better 2023.

The snow is good this year, so all the ski trips should have great skiing. George Sargent’s Jamaica trip has hit a snag since the State Department has issued a level 4 alert for Jamaica.

George is researching other places we can go, so keep watching as to the new location.

The Christmas Gala was a big success with 62 members celebrating and the December Happy Hour at Eddie V’s had over 50 attend which is the most for a Happy Hour in a long time. It seems like our members enjoy being with their ski club friends.

David Stotz is in charge of finding out if our members want to change the name of the club to be more reflective of all the things we do besides ski. A survey has been sent out and is on the website. Please complete the survey if you have an opinion.

George Sargent is going to give a short talk about his opinion at the February general meeting and if anyone else would like to give a talk about their opinion, please contact me and I will put you on the agenda.

Lots of trips and activities are coming up in the next couple of months so make sure you check the website and look at the weekly EBlasts to sign up for the activities you would like to attend.

Please sign up early and don’t wait until the last minute. We have to let the venues know in advance how many people are coming and it is hard to make changes at the very end.

Thank everyone who volunteered this past year and everyone please keep volunteering, this is the only way SCSC can stay in existence.

Lynn Burch

President
