person who has contributed greatly to the success of many NWSCC

been a member of Bergfreunde Ski Club for fifteen years, serving
on its Board as Downhill Ski Director for three years. In addition

co-captaining the “Silcox Sleepover” for five years, and running a
trip to Bend last year and a trip to Sunshine Village this coming

including two years as Membership Director during which she
instituted “road trips” to visit members clubs throughout Oregon
and Washington; assisted with the GI Joe’s in-store events; and
even hosted the Clear Lake Ski Club of Texas on a Mt. Bachelor
