From the looks of things, it will really be a great program and provide a milestone of achievement for American Ski Instructors. I would hope that you will be able to attend. Also, I would extend to you an official invitation to be a special guest. This consists of free registration and a special badge.

Sunday considered our membership in your division, and a motion was passed that our membership should be considered "unaffiliated". It was felt by the B.O.D. that since the memberships were free and since there was the problem with the press and the criticism surrounding the free memberships, we just did not want to be involved in any delegate or proxy votes at this time. As I indicated at the Clinic, I will not be able to attend your convention, since I will be out of the country. My best wishes for a successful convention. CTP :ld cc: I.S.I.A. B.O.D.

SKIPRO ~ IIII ' News of the Professional Ski Instructors of America, Inc. MAY 1971 - VOL. 5, NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF SKI INSTRUCTORS HELD AT VAIL The American Demonstration Team, under coach Rene Farwig, put on a first class display of advanced ski techniques during the Vail meeting. Team members are Peter Duke, Steve Morrow, Jim Weiss, Bill Duddy, David LaCouter, Ron Krenzel, Max Lundberg, Greg Ferris, Lyle Twedt and AI Voltz. 850 Attend Gathering Crystal clear skies, warm temperatures and spring corn snow greeted instructors from the world's major skiing nations as they participated in what has been termed, "The most successful and meaningful ski week ever." From April 12 to 17 at Vail, the United States together with Germany Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Canada fielded demonstration teams in an attempt to compare teaching and skiing methods current- Iy in use throughout the world. The April-I n-Vail meeting had many elements of previous Interski gatherings but was considered to be more informative. For the first time, hot-dog PSIA instructors skied, argued and compared notes with hotdog Demo Team members. One observation: "The colorful, skin-tight suited Austrians really can turn both ways ... and quickly, too." The Demonstration Teams hosted technical workshops throughout the week for individual instructors. According to program organizer, Jim Riley of Denver, "This is the way to learn things! The format we used is probably a wave of the future for technical ski gatherings around the world." For many instructors and PSIA delegates attending the week long meeting, the high point occurred during the two-day bio-m echanics sessions conducted at Vail's Lionshead . Riley assembled a top-flight staff of medical experts, headed by Doctor Juris Vagners of Seattle, the PSIA bio-mechanics chairman. Also on the program were four Denver M.D.'s: Robert Grover, Richard Beresford, Marvin Clein and Fred Schoonmaker. Additional expertise was added by Professor Miles Vavrin of Switzerland and Dr. Jaroslav Ctvrtecka of Czechoslovakia. Bio-mechanics studies the role played by the body, the mind and the equipment during skiing. The experts feel that only after a ski teacher knows the inter-action of al l three can he be a truly good and understanding instructor. In simple terms, bio-mechanics means, when Mrs. Brown says her left leg doesn't seem to do what she tells it, she's probably right! Wednesday marked the start of formal team demonstrations and technical workshops. The five national teams did a superb job of showing U.S. instructors new and (Continued on page 4) PRESIDENT'S REPORT by Judge Jimmy Johnston [Ed. note: Judge Johnston was elected PSIA President for a 1 year term at the April meeting in Vail, Colo. Here is his report.} I am honored to have been elected your chief executive offi· cer for 1971-72. The Professional Ski I nstructors of America has come a long way since 1961. We have tried to unify American ski teaching with the Official Ameri· can Ski Technique. We have showcased it at five international congresses and two national meetings. More than 1,000 in· structors from 17 nations attended the PSIA sponsored 8th Interski and the PSIA Demonstration Team, headed by Rene Farwig, attended 9th I ntersk i. In the past there has been ill feeling. Hopefully, painful as it might have been, the recent changes in board members and leadership have corrected much of th is. Now, with one exception, all division members are now PSIA members. For the first time, we have a unified, truly national organization ... Many new thoughts and ideas about teaching methods are being discussed .. . openly! And PSIA is leading the conversation . It's like a breath of fresh air to many members ... Divisions are represented on the Board and members can now feel they have an element of control over what we're doing and where we're going ... Finally, with broad-based membership support, PSIA is in a position to offer positive, forward looking programs that will benefit the skier, the industry and the professional ski teacher. From most points of view, PSIA has done its job well with one exception ... It seems the average skier doesn't know who we are, what we do, or why we're doing it. He doesn't feel a need for lessons and if he did, he considers them dull, expensive and generally a waste of his skiing time. In short, the average skier doesn't take lessons and when he doesn't, instructors don't make money. What can PSIA do about it? There are probably as many answers as skiers with bad stem christies. He may have been stuck in a slow moving class one cold, windy day six years ago and swore it would never happen again. He may have gotten fed up with the discipline of finished forms. Maybe his neighbor offered to teach him for free. Whatever the answer, the problem does exist. The message is clear. The Professional Ski I nstructor of America must offer some concrete programs directed to the mass ski population. It must sell them on the idea that lessons are fun, inexpensive and the fastest way to become a good, accident-free skier. Additionally, we must sell the name of PSIA and our programs must benefit the average instructor by sell i ng more lessons. It's a big job but if we work together with dedication and common purpose, it can be done. I urge you to accept th is call to take part. PSIA will soon be sending you a survey which I urge you to complete and return. With this information we will be able to institute programs to benefit you as an instructor. SKI INSTRUCTOR OF THE YEAR Blond, blue-eyed and handsome Phil Jones, Ski School Director of Park City, Utah was selected from 7 Divisional nominees as outstanding ski instructor of the year by contest sponsor, Garcia Ski and Tennis Corporation, during the recent annual meeting of PSIA. Phil has been a member of PSIA since 1964 and was on both the 7th and 8th Interski Demonstration Teams. He was Intermountain Division Demonstration coach in 1969 and is Divisional VicePresident and a rough, tough Certification Chairman. Phil served as Assistant Ski School Director at Park City for three years, was Co-Director last season and will be Director beginning next year. Th is is the second year for the award. Last season's winner was Gordon West of Pacific Northwest Division. PSIA SENDS EIGHT TO FRENCH SKI SCHOOL [Ed. note: The following story is based on excerpts from a report submitted to the PSIA Board. The eight members who attended were: Philip Davenport (USEASACPS!), Skip Casey (FWSIA), Ken Zimmerman (RMSIA), Peter Brinkman (FWSIA), Bill Zeiger (PNSIA), Susan Duddy (RMSIA), Don Welch (RMSIA), George Ingham (FWSIA).} Once accepted by the assistant director of "L'Ecole Nationale de Ski et d'Alpinisme" we presented ourselves at the school in Chamonix. There were one hundred and fifty candidates. We divided into groups of eight and were assigned a professor for the first two weeks. We had a different professor for the third and fourth weeks and the fifth week consisted entirely of technical examinations on demonstration, teaching and oral tests dealing with anatomy, physiology, avalanches, weather and regulations of the French Ski Federation. The professor's main task was to go through the French Manual ("Memento") from one end to the other. I n addition, we were helped with our skiing and practiced slalom. We also took turns teaching various maneuvers and were even graded on handlinga ski patrol toboggan! Ski touring counted for part of the grade and several evenings a week were occupied by lectures with a written test each Saturday. The personnel at the school were extremely hospitable and we were treated just like the French candidates. It was quite demanding and I would recommend being in excellent condition before attending the French school. The single most valuable preparation would be to run as much slalom as possible. Also, you can expect to sk i fast, long and under any conditions. PSIA HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING For the first time in memory, all 8 PSIA Divisions - including Alaska's Dick Crick, minus dog team - were represented as the Board of Directors and standing committees put in a long week of work preparing for the annual membership meeting in Vail, Colorado, April 17. The shirt-sleeve April weather was matched by shirt-sleeve working meetings and some heated debates as delegates hammered out details of numerous proposals and programs. Board meetings started early and on some occasions, didn 't end until the next day. ("What do you mean another meeting, Jimmy? We haven't had time to ski.") Standing committees faced nearly the same tough schedule. Board members seemed unanimously pleased with results of the highly productive meetings. Major accomplishments included establishment of a committee headed by PNW's Bill Lenihan to explore the possibilities of an equipment pool , similar to USSA. The Board retained Colle and McVoy Advertising Agency of Denver to create and implement a national promotion program to advertise the importance of taking a lesson_ Other proposals were to work closely with the U.S. Forest Service on legal and licensing matters, to hold the I ine at the present rate for PSIA dues (inflation not withstanding) and attempt to supplement PSIA income with short term certificates of deposit. Judge J immy Johnston was elected President for the coming year by the Board of Directors. Other officers elected were Jon Putnam of the Eastern Division as First Vice-President and Bill Lenihan of Pacific Northwest as Second Vice-President. The trio assumed office following the annual meeting. When the nitty-gritty was over, delegates assembled for the general membership meeting held Saturday at Vail's Lionshead. The meeting moved fast as Committee Chairmen presented their reports and recommendations for the up-coming year and closed with a standing ovation for President Jimmy Johnston. It was moved and seconded that delegates retire to the comfort and gaity of the Schlitz party which was about to begin. The motion passed. COMMITTEES REPORT TO PSIA MEMBERSHIP PSIA standing committees put in an active week at Vail. The following is a brief summation of their proposals and plans. A detailed study of committee programs will be made in future issues of Ski Pro. BUDGET COMMITTEE (Hank Emery - RMSIA) - The proposed 1971-72 budget was presented with income expected to be $48,000.00 and expenses, $38,000.00. Emery reported that PSIA is now in a sound financial position. CERTIFICATION (Jim WeissNRSIA) - A national certification program with training camps and a board of examiners be an objective of PSI A. Also, better commu nications between Divisions with an exchange of examiners_ COMMUNICATIONS AND PROMOTIONS (Mark Addison - RMSIA) - Ideas and plans were presented by th is newly combined committee for a national communication and advertising program to include the newsletter, magazine advertising, rad io and tv spots and PSI A posters, all designed to sell more lessons. Program will start this fall. DEMONSTRATION TEAM AND INTERSKI (Jon Putnam - USEASACPSI) - More attention should be given to the U.S. Demo. Team through promotion and funding. The committee urged that the coach be hired for two years with a renewable option and that the team have a manager to handle administrative detail. DIVISION PRESIDENTS (Otto Hollaus - CSIA) - The committee urged an exchange of information and examiners between Divisions and that PSIA augment, not duplicate Division efforts. DIVISION SECRETARIES (Rud i Schnackenberg - RMSIA) - It was felt that a unified billing system from the PSIA office would aid in the collection of dues. They also urged an exchange of Division newsletters and other information. HANDICAPPED-AMPUTEE (Lee Perry - PMSIA) - Suggested that amputee skiers who are instructors be examined and certified on the same basis as others. Also, that PS I A encou rage hand icap sk i programs and collect additional data in one central point. INTERNATIONAL (Herbert Schneider - USEASA-CPSI) - That the theme of 10th Interski be an attempt at formulating one international technique_ [Ed. note: Ski Pro will have a report on this in its July issue.] PLANNING COMMITTEE (Jon Putnam . USEASA-CPS I) - Long range plans should include continuing communications, a national technique academy, loose leaf technical manual, a coordinated instructor equipment program and a national policy of lift ticket discounts. SKI SCHOOL OPERATIONS (Kerr Sparks - USEASA-CPSI) - The committee will run a survey on ski school rates as a service to Divisions. It was found that most schools are structured along the same generallines. TEACHING AND LEARNING (Tom Hammerel - NRSIA) - The committee was re-named and urged that the PS IA of-fice serve as a collection point and clearing house for new methods, ideas and evaluations. They re-affirmed the American Technique as the official system of PSIA and suggested that a manual be issued on G.L.M. Jon Putnam isn't really snarling. The candid camera caught the expression as he delivered his committee's report to the annual membership meeting. NEW PSIA OFFICE OPENS IN DENVER As you probably know, the PSIA offices have moved from Salt Lake City to Denver. The move to a more central location will serve members better and has put us closer to other major ski groups based in Denver. The converted mansion at 1801 York, near the downtown area, is shared with Ski Racing News, Skiers' Gazette and Summit Films, the people who produced "Ski the Outer Limits" and "Mobius Flip." Please, please. Direct all correspondence, requests, suggestions, hate mail and money to PSIA, 1801 York, Denver, Colorado, 80206. The Post Office will be deeply indebted. NEWSLETTER RE-INSTATED This is the first issue of the Ski Pro in more than a year. The newsletter will be published six times per year and once again there's communication between the office, the Board and the membership. This is your newsletter so let us know what you think of it. What articles or features would you like to see in coming issues? What do you think should be changed? Do you have ideas about method or teaching that could be shared with others? Drop us a letter and we'll be happy to consider them. The Ski Pro is your newsletter and we need your help in getting current stories and news features. It's no longer true that no news is good news so write the Ski Pro Editor, in-care-of PSIA. Former PSIA President WillV Schaeffler addressed instructors during Vail meeting. Waiting their turn are (I to r) Jimmv Johns· ton, Hubert Fink of Italv, and Jim Rilev. 850 attended the week-long gathering. (Continued from page 1) progressive ideas in techniques and teaching methods. As one sunburned pro pointed out, "It's like a front row seat at 9th I ntersk i wi thout the bother of getting a passport. Not only that, the Vail natives are friendly and they do speak the language." By any yardstick, the congress had to be called a sweeping success and much credit must go to the hard working and dedicated organizers and the understanding commercial sponsors. They included Jim Riley, Bob Knowlton, Carol Campbell, Bob Gagne, Erich Windisch and Dennis Sanford. Garcia Ski and Tennis Corporation provided equipment and services, Schlitz Brewing Company hosted the many informal gatherings and Vail Associates provided lifts, slope grooming and the meeting rooms. According to PSI A, plans are underway now for a bigger and better meeting next year. By the comments received from the 850 happy throng who attended, it's going to be hard to beat. HAVE YOU MOVED? With the coming of Spring, many instructors turn over a new leaf and move to new summer jobs. If you're a leafturner, please let us know your new address so we can keep you informed of PSIA happen i ngs. MEET DENNIS SANFORD With this first issue of Ski Pro, we are pleased to put the spotlight on Dennis Sanford, Executive Secretary of PSIA. With skis tied securely to his VW Bug, Dennis moved to Denver from New York where he worked for General Electric and the Borden Company for the past 6 years. He is a graduate of the Albany Business College with a degree in Accounting, and is a graduate of Hudson Valley Community College with a major in History. Although his duties at the PSIA office have become a full-time job, he still finds free hours to study economics at the University of Denver. A desire to see PSIA evolve as a strong, sincere and prestigious organization are the reasons that prompted Dennis to leave the field of books and red ink and join with the Professional Ski Instructors. "There was some red ink here when I arrived," he said, "but with the help of some key board members and others professional ski instructors ............ of america, inc. 1801 york street in the organization, I'm happy to report our financial crisis is over. Now we can settle down to getting things done and moving forward." Dennis has been a certified ski teacher with the Eastern Division since 1968 and joined PSIA last October. He spent weekends in and around Winter Park Ski area last season where he headed up thei r racing program. Your Executive Secretary has put in many long hours at the new office and members are invited to drop in and visit. In the meantime, if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions to make PSIA an even stronger organization, you'll find Dennis Sanford a most interested listener with a sympathetic ear. He is working for you so let's make the most of his talents. You won't be disappointed. denver, colorado 80206 alc 303 322-0041 TO: 000 ECJ0150 052[' 0 7ISIft CI CE eOND EDWIN J ~66 EAST STY SOUT4 SALT LAKE CITY UT ~111 a SKIPRO ~ 1111' News of the Professional Ski Instruct ors of America, Inc.

The shirt-sleeve April weather was matched by shirt-sleeve working meetings and some heated debates as delegates hammered out details of numerous proposals and programs. Board meetings started early and on some occasions, didn't end until the next day. ("What do you mean another meeting, Jimmy? We haven't had time to ski.") Standing committees faced nearly the same tough schedule. Board members seemed unanimously pleased with results of the highly productive meetings. Major accomplishments included establishment of a committee headed by PNW's Bill Lenihan to explore the possibilities of an equipment pool, similar to USSA. The Board retained Colle and McVoy Advertising Agency of Denver to create and implement a national promotion program to advertise the importance of taking a lesson. Other proposals were to work closely with the U.S. Forest Service on legal and licensing matters, to hold the line at the present rate for PSIA dues (inflation not withstanding) and attempt to supplement PSIA income with short term certificates of deposit. Judge Jimmy Johnston was elected President for the coming year by the Board of Directors. Other officers elected were Jon Putnam of the Eastern Division as First Vice-President and Bill Lenihan of Pacific Northwest as Second Vice-President. The trio assumed office following the annual meeting. When the nitty-gritty was over, delegates assembled for the general membership meeting held Saturday at Vail's Lionshead. The meeting moved fast as Committee Chairmen presented their reports and recommendations for the up-coming year and closed with a standing ovation for President Jimmy Johnston_ It was moved and seconded that delegates retire to the comfort and gaity of the Schlitz party which was about to begin. The motion passed. COMMITTEES REPORT TO PSIA MEMBERSHIP PSIA standing committees put in an active week at VaiL The following is a brief summation of their proposals and plans. A detailed study of committee programs will be made in future issues of Ski Pro_ BUDGET COMMITTEE (Hank Emery - RMSIA) - The proposed 1971-72 budget was presented with income expected to be $48,000_00 and expenses, $38,000.00. Emery reported that PSIA is now in a sound financial position_ CERTIFICATION (Jim WeissNRSIA) - A national certification program with training camps and a board of examiners be an objective of PSI A. Also, better communications between Divisions with an exchange of examiners_ COMMUNICATIONS AND PROMOTIONS (Mark Addison - RMSIA) - Ideas and plans were presented by this newly combined committee for a national communication and advertising program to include the newsletter, magazine advertising, radio and tv spots and PSIA posters, all designed to sell more lessons_ Program will start this faiL DEMONSTRATION TEAM AND INTERSKI (Jon Putnam - USEASACPSI) - More attention should be given to the U.S. Demo. Team through promotion and funding_ The committee urged that the coach be hired for two years with a renewable option and that the team have a manager to handle administrative detaiL DIVISION PRESIDENTS (Otto Hollaus - CSIA) - The committee urged an exchange of information and examiners between Divisions and that PSIA augment, not duplicate Division efforts_ DIVISION SECRETARIES (Rudi Schnackenberg - RMSIA) - It was felt that a unified billing system from the PSIA office would aid in the collection of dues. They also urged an exchange of Division newsletters and other information. HANDICAPPED-AMPUTEE (Lee Perry - PMSIA) - Suggested that amputee skiers who are instructors be examined and certified on the same basis as others. Also, that PSIA encourage handicap ski programs and collect additional data in one central point_ INTERNATIONAL (Herbert Schneider - USEASA-CPSI) - That the theme of 10th Interski be an attempt at formulating one international technique. [Ed_ note: Ski Pro will have a report on this in its July issue.} PLANNING COMMITTEE (Jon Putnam - USEASA-CPSI) - Long range plans should include continuing communications, a national technique academy, loose leaf technical manual, a coordinated instructor equipment program and a national policy of lift ticket discounts. SKI SCHOOL OPERATIONS (Kerr Sparks - USEASA-CPSI) - The committee will run a survey on ski school rates as a service to Divisions. It was found that most schools are structured along the same generallines. TEACHING AND LEARNING (Tom Hammerel - NRSIA) - The committee was re-named and urged that the PS I A of-fice serve as a collection point and clearing house for new methods, ideas and evaluations. They re-affirmed the American Technique as the official system of PSIA and suggested that a manual be issued on G.L.M. Jon Putnam isn't really snarling. The candid camera caught the expression as he delivered his committee's report to the annual membership meeting. NEW PSIA OFFICE OPENS IN DENVER As you probably know, the PSIA offices have moved from Salt Lake City to Denver. The move to a more central location will serve members better and has put us closer to other major ski groups based in Denver. The converted mansion at 1801 York, near the downtown area, is shared with Ski Racing News, Skiers' Gazette and Summit Films, the people who produced "Ski the Outer Limits" and "Mobius Flip." Please, please. Direct all correspondence, requests, suggestions, hate mail and money to PSIA, 1801 York, Denver, Colorado, 80206. The Post Office will be deeply indebted. NEWSLETTER RE-INSTATED This is the first issue of the Ski Pro in more than a year. The newsletter will be published six times per year and once again there's communication between the office, the Board and the membership. This is your newsletter so let us know what you think of it. What articles or features would you like to see in coming issues? What do you think should be changed? Do you have ideas about method or teaching that could be shared with others? Drop us a letter and we'll be happy to consider them. The Ski Pro is your newsletter and we need your help in getting current stories and news features. It's no longer true that no news is good news so write the Ski Pro Editor, in-care-of PSIA. Former PSIA President Willy Schaeffler addressed instructors during Vail meeting. Waiting their turn are (I to r) Jimmy Johnston, Hubert Fink of Italy, and Jim Riley. 850 attended the week-long gathering. (Continued from page 1) progressive ideas in techniques and teaching methods. As one sunburned pro pointed out, "It's like a front row seat at 9th Interski without the bother of getting a passport. Not only that, the Vail natives are friendly and they do speak the language." By any yardstick, the congress had to be call ed a sweepi ng success and much credit must go to the hard working and dedicated organizers and the understanding commercial sponsors. They included Jim Riley, Bob Knowlton, Carol Campbell, Bob Gagne, Erich Windisch and Dennis Sanford. Garcia Ski and Tennis Corporation provided equi pment and services, Schl itz Brewing Company hosted the many informal gatherings and Vail Associates provided lifts, slope grooming and the meeting rooms. According to PSI A, plans are underway now for a bigger and better meeting next year. By the comments received from the 850 happy throng who attended, it's going to be hard to beat. HAVE YOU MOVED? With the coming of Spring, many instructors turn over a new leaf and move to new summer jobs. If you're a leafturner, please let us know you r new address so we can keep you informed of PSIA happenings. MEET DENNIS SANFORD With this first issue of Ski Pro, we are pleased to put the spotlight on Dennis Sanford, Executive Secretary of PSIA. With skis tied securely to his VW Bug, Dennis moved to Denver from New York where he worked for General Electric and the Borden -Company for thep-ast 6 years. -He is a graduate of the Albany Business College with a degree in Accounting, and is a graduate of Hudson Valley Community College with a major in History. Although his duties at the PSIA office have become a full-time job, he still finds free hours to study economics at the University of Denver. A desire to see PSIA evolve as a strong, sincere and prestigious organization are the reasons that prompted Dennis to leave the field of books and red ink and join with the Professional Ski I nstructors. "There was some red ink here when I arrived," he said, "but with the help of some key board members and others professional ski instructors .......... of america, inc. IS01 york street in the organization, I'm happy to report our financial crisis is over. Now we can settle down to getting things done ana-movlngTorward:--------- Dennis has been a certified ski teacher with the Eastern Division since 1968 and joined PSIAlast October. He spent weekends in and around Winter Park Ski area last season where he headed up their racing program. Your Executive Secretary has put in many long hours at the new office and members are invited to drop in and visit. In the meantime, if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions to make PSIA an even stronger organization, you'll fi nd Dennis Sanford a most interested listener with a sympathetic ear. He is working for you so let's make the most of his talents. You won't be disappointed. denver, colorado 80206 alc 303 322-0041 TO: - --I '.' CERTIFIED SKI TEACHER i ..., I A.

';JC';FFD SKI TE:\CHI C. , INTERMOUNTAIN SKI INSTRUCTORS ASSOCIATION July 16, 1971 TO: Board of Directors, I.S.I.A. FROM: Clark T. Parkinson, President SUBJECT: Summer Progress Report Last evening the Executive Committee met to review several items of business. The main purpose of the meeting, however, was to discuss plans for this year's Fall Seminar. After considerable discussion,the Committee voted unanimously not to hold a Fall Seminar this year, The primary reason for this decision was the fear that, without the incentive to attend to vote this year, attendance would be somewhat less than it has been in the past when the annual meeting was held in conjunction with the seminar and elections for the BOD were held. Members of the Executive Committee considered this problem very carefully and did not make the decision lightly. It was decided that in lieu of a seminar type meeting in September, that in conjunction with the Examiners Clinic, our annual Business Meeting would be held ~.~ and in addition an "on the hill" program for all interested members would be con- ., ducted by the Certification Committee. The details of this "Special Clinic" will be worked out and presented to the BOD later for approval. In considering the expenses and considerable effort involved in putting on the Fall Seminar, for a relatively small percentage of our membership, that our time and money would be better spent in conducting a clinic on the hill for interested members at the be-ginning of the season when enthusiasm is high. In order to conduct our business and set plans for the coming seasQn, the BOD and committees must get together. The Executive Committee, therefore, recommended that in early September, a two-day business session be held by the BOD, officers and various committees. The express purpose would be to "roll up our sleeves" and go to work hammering out next year's programs. The date tentatively set is the weekend of September 18th and 19th -- place to be announced later. On another subject, the "Study Group" committee, formed to draft a reorganization of the Corporation Officers and Committee structure has had its fir~t meeting and will meet again' July 22. The BOD will receive in writing a report from this committee around September 1st on its recommendations. BOD action can be taken September 18th or 19th. Dave Larsen presented to the Executive Committee the financial results for the year ending June 30, 1971. Last year's budget projections were so close to actual results that the variance between "actual and budget" was less than 2%. Even with everything that was done last year, it appears we will carry forward a surplus of over $400 -- not too bad! ,-- -,-'- ----- |
