| NEW BUSINESS - to be addressed at meeting Wednesday February 1 2023:
BY-LAW 4 CONTROL OF FUNDS - Modification - As the Club no longer has a reserve account (the money market fund was closed with all assets transferred to Club General Checking Account). As our financial institution now requires only 1 (one), signature for checks, the Club is obligated to modify the wording of the Club Constitution, By-Law 4 Control of Funds:
Current wording By-Law 4 Control of Funds:
All funds of the Club shall be deposited in its name by the Treasurer in a bank or other financial institution approved by the Executive Committee. The Club may maintain up to two (2) financial accounts which shall be as follows:
- The General Checking Account – to handle the general financial responsibilities of the Club and the collection and disbursing of monies relating to Club-sponsored ski trips.
- The Reserve Account – for deposit of reserve funds.This account will be used at the discretion of the Treasurer when the interest earned will offset the account fees.
The President, Treasurer, or other Executive Members as appointed by the President are authorized to sign checks and at least two of their signatures are required on all checks for the disbursement of funds from the General Account in accordance with actions of the Executive Committee.
Proposed wording By-Law 4 Control of Funds:
All funds of the Club shall be deposited in its name by the Treasurer in a bank or other financial institution approved by the Executive Committee. The Club shall maintain 1(one), or more, financial account which shall be as follows:
1. The General Checking Account - to handle the general financial responsibilities of the Club and the collection and disbursing of monies relating to Club sponsored trips / events (ski & otherwise), and the deposit of any reserve funds.
2. The Club may open, keep, or close a Money Market or other interest bearing account as it is favorable to the Club based on the direction of the board.
The President, Treasurer, or other Executive Members as appointed by the President are authorized to sign checks, and as directed by the Club's current financial institution, at least one of their signatures are required on all checks for the disbursement of funds from the General Account in accordance with actions of the Executive Committee. For disbursements greater than $100.00, the Check Request shall require 2 (two) signatures - the Requestor, and the President, Treasurer, or other Executive Members as appointed by the President. |  | If anyone would like to get together on a weekend at a local establishment, to hang with other Sitzmarkers, please let Alouise Gredell or Betty Barboro know and we can have it listed in the Weekly Blast.

| 118th Norge Annual Winter Ski Jump Tournament
POSTPONED
Saturday February 11 & Sunday February 12
Noon-4PM
Gates Open at 11AM
FROM THE BOARD OF THE NORGE SKI CLUB
After careful consideration for the safety of our athletes,
the 2023 Norge Winter Tournament is postponed.
The new dates are Saturday February 11 and Sunday February 12.
Buttons and VIP tickets purchased for the tournament
are valid for the new dates!
Due to January’s unseasonable temperatures,
it hasn’t stayed cold enough for snowmaking.
The good news is sustained cold temperatures are expected
this weekend and next week. That means conditions should allow us
to start making snow again.
A few inches of snow from Mother Nature look nice –
it’s not nearly enough snow to create safe conditions for our athletes.
It takes tons of snow and grooming to cover the Norge jumps and hills.
We’re disappointed to have to postpone the 2023 tournament weekend,
but we can’t wait to see you February 11-12!
Both days, the schedule stays the same: gates open at 11:00 AM
and opening ceremonies start at Noon.

| Sewasp Looking for Volunteers
SEWASP will hold lessons on Thursday nights at Alpine Valley Resort from 6:30pm to 9pm from January 5 to March 9, weather permitting. We conduct both adaptive ski lessons and adaptive snowboarding lessons. If you know anyone interested in taking an adaptive ski/snowboarding lesson, please email our Program Coordinator, Terri Henderson, at sewaspemail2@gmail.com or feel free to contact me.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with our lessons. Volunteers go out on the hill with the instructor and most likely a second volunteer. And, of course, the student!
We require that our volunteers can ski/ride at least green terrain and load/unload the chairlift. By the way, if you volunteer, you do not have to be there every Thursday night.
All the dryland sessions and the first two on-snow sessions were well attended and went very well. The last on snow session will be at Alpine Valley Resort on December 15 from 6:30pm to 10pm, weather permitting. Please do not just show up. We need numbers so we can be ready for the sessions. If you wish to attend, please email our Program Coordinator, Terri Henderson, at sewaspemail2@gmail.com
The same is true for lesson nights. We need to know who will be there so we can coordinate instructors and volunteers with participants.
From all of us at SEWASP, we want to thank you for all your support in 2022 and look forward to your continued support in 2023. | MISC ITEMS OF BUSINESS:
