Utah Ski Archives Newsletter: 1993 (Spring), no. 2

Message from the Chair; Membership Coupon; Solid Gold Donors

Message from the Chair It continues to be my pleasure to serve as chair of the University of Utah Ski Archives Advisory Board. I feel a great deal of pride in the achievements accom- plished over the past few years. The advi- sory board is comprised of a truly prized group of volunteers who will not settle for anything less than par excellence! Last fall we kicked off the ski season with Ski Affair `92 at the Red Lion Hotel. Needless to say, enthusiasm abounded. All the local ski resorts and many businesses purchased $250 corporate tables. The exuberance of the 425 attendees was over- whelming and the evening was one many didn't want to see end. The reunions of old ski buds and their memories was one of the great joys of the event. We owe a special thanks to Bill Shorter and his staff at the Red Lion for hosting us at such a minimal cost. The good news is that expenses for the event were covered, but contributions over and above that amount-money that is desperately needed for direct program support of the Ski Archives- were much lower than last year. Our supporters have been generous in the past and I hope you will continue to support the program by either purchas- ing your first membership or renewing for the coming year. Fees are as low as $25 and are tax deductible. Just complete the membership form printed below and return it as soon as possible.

A special thanks from the advisory board to the Quinney Foundation for their continued, invaluable support of the archives and its programs. (See cover story.) Without the foundation's support, the Ski Archives program would not be the well developed program it is today. It's almost time to hang up our skis for another year. Enjoy your summer and we'll see YOU in the fall when the snow Membership Coupon FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SKI ARCHIVES MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION Name City State Zip 0 Please enroll me (us) in the Friends of the University of Utah Library's Ski Archives program.
