We have experienced spring like skiing conditions in winter and winter like skiing conditions in spring. Many members turned out regularly for skiing, snowshoeing, and cross-country events. I would like to extend a special thanks to our Winter Activity coordinator, Lisa Hunter, our Ski coordinator, Bub Carlson, and to all of our volunteers. Your efforts have made this an extraordinarily fun season for all members of the Park City Mountain Sports Club. Temperatures are now rising into the seventies, so we're beginning to switch gears for our spring and summer activities. Chuck Mollard, our biking leader, is busy setting up his schedule for three different biking levels. This summer, club riders have the option of buying a cool club jersey, which proudly displays the PCMSC logo. Amazingly, all of our hiking leaders from last year will return to lead hikes again this summer. Jon Scarlet is coordinating strenuous, moderate and slow hike outings. This summer, Jan Jaworski's Slow Turtle Hikes, promise a few surprises, and David Anderson returns with backpacking, to offer overnight trail and camping opportunities. Our TGIF coordinator, Karen Halverson, has some great Fridays planned, some with new and different twists. Also, several non-club sponsored trips will be open to our membership. Keep posted by reading Newsletter, checking our online event calendar, and watching for PCMSC email blasts. To our newer members, we ask you not to be shy about joining our events. We're a friendly group and I'm sure our current members will make you feel welcome. If you're interested in leading an event, just let us know; if you have a new idea, send them in to the web site, we welcome all comments and suggestions. Let the fun continue, Happy Trails, Kathy :o) TGIF Update As many of you know, Karen Halverson has taken over the duties of TGIF coordinator for Park City Mountain Sports Club. A recent misunderstanding at one of the events has prompted her to submit comments for consideration by all members. Because the club cannot accurately predict how many members will be attending on any given Friday, it is difficult for host establishments to determine staff requirements to meet our needs. Karen has asked that everyone be patient and understand that extra time may be needed to calculate and enter individual tabs. We all pay our own way at TGIFs. If you order food or drinks please know that you will run your own tab with server. Since many restaurants are eager to “show off” their cuisine for locals, we encourage all members to stay for dinner. Every effort is made to persuade restaurants and bars to provide complimentary appetizers, but it is entirely optional for our hosts, and members, who have badgered servers for complimentary food, have embarrassed us. TGIF’s at the more expensive restaurants are generally scheduled during the shoulder season to take advantage of “two-for-ones”. We invite member suggestions and recommendations for prospective TGIF venues and we extend our thanks to all members who attend and support these Friday social gatherings. May 2014 2 Synopsis of Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, April 1, 2014 By Becky Hinton The meeting was called to order at 7:00 P.M. by President Kathy. A quorum was present, and the minutes from the meeting on March 4, 2014, were approved as written. The Board wishes to thank all those Club members who have led events this past winter season. The participation was very good for all events. Kathy noted that the annual meeting for the Far West Ski Association is being held in June. Further information and the Association’s website link will be noted in the Club’s May newsletter for anyone who might be interested in attending the meeting on their own. Stan reported that our year-to-date revenues are currently ahead of budget and the finances continue to be in great shape. The Club is looking for a volunteer to edit the monthly newsletter. Please contact Kathy Kelleher if there is interest in this opportunity. The hiking/biking season is quickly approaching. Thanks to all the Club members who have agreed to serve as monthly hiking leaders for the upcoming season. The biking kick-off is scheduled for April 19 and the first bike ride is scheduled for May 3 (weather permitting). The next meeting will be held on May 6, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. at Ruby Tuesday’s. The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 pm. Club Finances Made Easy Each year we share details of our club’s finances with the members. This year we had a few questions from members, so we decided to take this opportunity to share more details of our finances with you. All of the club’s revenue comes from member dues. For existing members, dues are renewed in October. While we continue to acquire new members throughout the year, roughly 80% of our revenue is received during the year-end renewal. These dues must fund the following year’s expenses. We therefore put this dues revenue into an accrual account, which we draw from throughout the following year. We have a formal budgeting process. Based upon historical data and current Board goals, the Finance Committee prepares a proposed budget at the end of each calendar year. The preliminary budget is approved by the Board, and then is presented to the members at the Bash, our annual business meeting, for final approval. Some have asked why the club has “so much money in the bank.” Our current bank balance is around $30,000. Of this, $10,000 is in the above mentioned accrual account to fund our 2014 budget. The balance is “working capital”, or the accumulation of past year’s money that was not spent. It is important for our club to have adequate working capital. As we organize our big parties, most hotels require pre-payment, prior to the time when we receive revenue from ticket sales. My predecessor as Treasurer paid these obligations with her personal credit card, because the club didn’t have the cash to do so. The Board established an objective to create a cash reserve and strengthen the club’s finances. Through five years of budget constraint and a growth in membership, we have met this goal. The Board believes our current working capital is sufficient to meet our cash flow needs and to cover unexpected and unbudgeted expenses. We therefore prepared this year’s budget on a break-even basis, where our expenses nearly equal our expected revenue. We increased our budget to subsidize our social events. This year, 68% of our budget will be spent subsidizing social activities. The balance of the budget will pay for administrative expenses, such as printing the Directories and Newsletters, postage, and supplies. As a Corporation, Board members have a fiduciary responsible to manage the club’s assets. We have established Financial Controls to assure accountability of our finances. As Treasurer, I am only a record keeper, and do not handle cash. Dues are deposited into our bank account by the Membership Director. Ticket revenues for social events are deposited by the Social Director. As Treasurer, I cannot write myself a check without prior Board approval. The club’s finances are reviewed each month by a member of the Finance Committee, other than the Treasurer. Hopefully this is helpful in removing any mystery from our club’s finances. If there are any lingering or unanswered Questions, please let any Board member know and we will attempt to answer. Stan Hooley, treasurer May2014 3 Slow Turtles Hikes, Jan Jaworski, coordinator Slow Turtles will return with the same format at last summer. This is the easiest hiking group in the Sports Club. The goal of the hikes is to learn, laugh, and observe. Last year many of the experienced hikers enjoyed our hikes. It is a nice way to spend a summer evening. We hike on Mondays because then we don't conflict with too many other fun activities in our community. This summer we will visit some new areas. My goal is to flip our hikes around to every other summer or so. 2014 is a new year and a new bunch of hikes. Oh, the places we will go, and the things we may see, and trivia we will learn. The hikes will be the first, third, and fifth Mondays of June, July, and August. No dogs are allowed on the hikes. The hikes will start promptly at 5:30. The start location will be announced in a club eblast a few days before the hike with an overview of what we will be doing. Following the hike we go to a local moderately price restaurant, or have a bring your own picnic depending where we are, and continue our fellowship. I believe eating is the most popular sport in PC. The choice of the restaurant is the hike leaders choice. As always a club release form must be signed at the beginning of a hike. Shoes, shirt, water, and release form are our essentials. I am always looking for hike ideas and leaders, remember this is your club so we need your help to make Slow Turtles a success. Please contact me at [email protected] or 435-658-4903 to become a leader. I will lead our first hike on Monday, June 2nd, at 5:30. We will meet in front of the Miners Hospital on Park Ave. Moderate Hikes Saturday May 3rd, Jay Frankenfield will lead a moderate hike at Glenwild. This will be a great opportunity to get started with a beautiful hike up and through Glenwild (about 2.5 hours and 800 feet).
