on McLeod Street at 8:00 p.m. I TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1968 I I All last year's members are invited to attend Only adult members are permitted to vote ------..... ---- .. -- ...... --...I PRESIDENT'S REPORT by Vic Allen This past season can be regarded as one of the most successful in the history of the Ottawa Ski Club. It marked the end of a downward trend in Club membership which started some five years ago when we saw our membership of II ,280 gradually decline to 9,700 in 1966-67. Last year we had 10,478 members participate in our comprehensive Club program and this year we look to an 8% increase over last year. We have significantly strengthened the operating capabilities of our permanent manage ment staff. One of the outward indications of this is the manner in which membership administration was handled last year and at the opening of this new season. Our objective is to identify the Club very closely with all its members and have the Club office serve the needs of the membership. The strengthening in our permanent management operation has re~ulted in an improved financial position. Last year also marked a major organizational re-alignment within the make-up of the Board of Directors. In previous years the various members of the Board had been assigned activity portfolios. Last year we re-structured the Board organization along functional lines and this re-organization has resulted in an improvement in the way in which we have been able to manage the Club resources. For example, there is a Board of Directors Task Force headed by Glenn Ross whose sole responsibility is the establishment of policies and procedures and the handling of the entire operation of the physical plant- hills, lodges, and cafeterias. Another very important task force under the chairmanship of Ken Leigh-Smith is re sponsible for long-range planning for the Club. A third task force under the direction of Kent Boucher is responsible for the planning and operation of all our Club's ski programs. Through these task forces we have been able to handle more effectively the three important functional activities involved in your Club's management. Consistent with the policy introduced two years ago to make every effort to use the Club facilities during summer months, we have again enjoyed the C.B.C.'s summer music festival in Fortune Valley. The Ottawa Day Nursery too, made use of our facilities this summer and in so doing were able to introduce a large measure of sunshine and out-door enjoyment into the lives of many children who otherwise might have had to play in the streets. During the summer months we were able to enter into an agreement with food caterers for our major lodges and extensive modifications are currently ·under way to improve the level of service. The main problem facing the Ottawa Ski Club today is how it should grow and expand to handle the needs of the membership in the immediate future. We are all dedicated to moving ahead with the times but how we are to move and how we will finance our require ments for improved and expanded facilities is the problem. You will be hearing more about this from the task force on planning in the very near future. I raise the point now in the hopes that every member of the Ottawa Ski Club will give serious thought to the very extensive services and facilities they now enjoy as members of the Club at what must be regarded a modest cost when compared to other ski areas throughout Canada and the United States. I have had the honour of being president for two years and I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all members of the Board and those involved in the many Club activities for their hard work and dedication to making the Ottawa Ski Club not only the largest in the world, but the best. We are what we are because of the many thousands of hours of time people donate to the operation of the Club and its many programs. It has been an inspiration to be associated with so many energetic and public-spirited men and women.
IN MEMORIAM: ART J,OVETT One of the most familiar and cheerful faces will be missed in Fortune Valley this year. Art Lovett, longtime member who devoted untiring efforts to the club's training and racing programs died last spring of a heart attack. All who knew him will miss his friendly assistance and unobtrusive dedication to skiing. Many who never knew him will feel his loss as well. The club extends its deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
