The T-Shirt Design contest is over and we have a winner.  Mary Coiteux is the author of the  winning design and she will get 2 free ski tickets.  Please congratulate her next time you see her.

Many thanks to Kathi Clark and Megan Steubing for their efforts and submissions into the contest. And thank you to all who voted, it made for an interesting contest.

I’ll work with Mary on colors and configuration on the t-shirt. We may have a sample for you to see at the September 27th kickoff meeting which starts at 2pm at the LaGrange Knights of Columbus.  Once we have the shirt sample done, we’ll get it posted to the FSM web site and you can submit your orders. Or email me sooner, if you want at ksteub@yahoo.com, with your order for short sleeve and/or long sleeve shirts. We will confirm all orders with you (including those who have already emailed me) prior to sending in our first order.

Good news for new members joining FSM. The board and our members in good standing have voted to lower the New Membership total price per family to $60. There is no initiation fee. After doing significant research we have found our New Membership price to be higher than all other clubs in our area, including the Capital District.  This price is good for this season and we will discuss in the spring of 2016 if we make this permanent or change it to another price. Our price per family for “Current Members” has not changed at $35. Please start recruiting with the new $60 per family pricing. We have over 30 openings for new family memberships and would love to have new families join this fall.

I hope you all had a great summer, and I look forward to seeing you at our kickoff meeting.  Bring someone new to learn about our club!
