PRESIDENT'S CORNER
Linda Horn
Welcome 2019 and Happy New Year!
This is such an exciting time when we think about our goals and ambitions for the new year and resolve to adopt new positive, healthy habits. Whether your goal is to cross an item off your bucket list, learn a new skill, research a topic that interests you, spend more time with family and friends, or make new friends, the new year inspires us to make these things happen.
Remember your Vagabond Ski & Social Club and all that it has to offer, as you make your plans for the upcoming year. There truly is something for everyone! Whether you are in the mood to enjoy active sports such as skiing, tennis, bowling, hiking (plus much more), or if some less strenuous activities strike your fancy, such as plays, concerts, playing Sheepshead, dominos or scrabble, fish fries; and let’s not forget about extraordinary travel offerings! There are opportunities galore in the Vagabond Ski & Social Club!
And what is the most amazing thing about the Vagabonds? It is the wonderful, fun, kind and helpful people who belong to our Club! Those of you who have been members for a while have already met and no doubt become friends with many of these warm and caring people. If you are a newer member, I hope you will embrace the Club and participate in activities and events so that you, too, will meet and become friends with other members who are as fun loving, kind and caring as you.
May you have a very Happy New Year and a wonderful 2019!
