A GREAT SPORTS CLUB FOR ALL SEASONS

IN SEARCH OF MEMBERS WHO WILL JOIN OUR GROUP OF CURRENT VOLUNTEERS

We have volunteers who plan ski trips, hiking trips, Club Med Vacations, and Bike and Barge trips to Europe - neat vacations.   Also, Viking Cruises.  This coming ski season, we are running 11 ski trips. iN 2021, We will begin to plan other vacations.  See either our Winter Sports or Travel Menu items.

Will you join us?  You will meet "us" & meet other members and guests, & have some fun while being a volunteer.

SCWDC has been a major sports and social organization, "A Force," in the DC Metro area for many years.

We are currently about 1,000 members strong.  We are currently seeking:

1.  Web editor assistant  - posting new items, revising existing content with corrections.

2.   Budget assistant for club trip planning.

3.  Skiers who would like to join the Flights Committee to plan trips and another skill set, to help with ski trip records.

4. New President and four BOD members, Election in April 2021 - Nominating Committee begins its work in October to locate possible candidates. The Spring/Summer issue of the SCWDC magazine ( published in March) and this web site will provide candidates' statements. SCWDC's Policy Manual contains more information about election procedures. The SCWDC has been changing andt reinventing itself since the 1970's - no need to spend more time on our history in this space, other than to say, 1) Our members range in age from recent college graduates to senior citizens, and 2) We still welcome new ideas to improve our club and extend our range of activities. Examples are the popular European bike-and-barge trips, river cruises, and visits to Club Med resorts.

5.  A Member who will suggest new ways for SCWDC members to connect and enjoy SCWDC activities during COVID  - SHALL WE ZOOM?
For many years, SCWDC has excelled at activities that bring members and guests together - this is often referred to as "connectedness", so we're pretty frustrated with COVID limitations.  As you're reading this, can think of ways that SCWDC members can connect?

6.  Our Skigram and Web Site:  We always want to provide the facts about upcoming events and membership info, but it would be really neat if we could provide topical, current info about local and national skier news, ski resort conditions, health News, and so on.  We seek a member who has an interest in looking for news items. Can we make our Skigram more informative?  Would someone like to come forward to make suggestions about new content?

Seeking Skigram Content Contributor.

7.  Seeking an editor for training program and documents to educate current and future leaders.  Over time, training materials and procedures have disappeared from our web site or have not been updated and reposted  Many of the possible documents are in the  computer files from current volunteers, but they may need some editing before they are posted again.  Seeking Training Editor.  

8.  A new, sane or crazy suggestion from a member, BOD member or past president:  ......?
