Hi All,
Has the weather been hot enough for you? To cool down think about
skiing – snow skiing of course. Special thanks go to all of our ski trip
coordinators for working so hard on their trips. Just the thought of skiing
down a slope at Telluride, Taos, Durango, Beaver Creek or Crested Butte
gives me the shivers. So sign up for a trip for an immediate cool down.
The Huntsville Ski Club Membership Party will be on September 10 at
Ditto Landing. This is a great time to invite your friends to come see what
we are all about. I challenge each of you to bring a potential new
member to the Membership Party. Huntsville Ski Club is always looking
for active fun people to join us.
Once again check out the HSC calendar and sign up early for all of the activities being offered. Each
of our directors has gone out of their way to ensure that our members do not get bored and have nothing
to do.
I hope to see each of you at the Membership Meeting on August 17th.
~ Sue, [email protected]
Monthly HSC meetings are held at the "Huntsville Area Association of Realtors"
Building, located at 535 Monroe St. downtown Huntsville.
Next Meeting – August 17, 2011!
A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Hello Members,
Ah….Summertime! The time of the year when you get together with
your friends. By now, everyone has switched to that “Summer” frame of
mind and thinking of vacations – long, lazy days by the pool or at the
beach, hanging out at one of the many social events or just doing nothing.
Whatever you do, I hope you have fun and survive the extreme heat!
Be sure to check us out on our website, www.huntsvilleskiclub.org as
well as our Facebook page! Just go to www.facebook.com and search
for Huntsville Ski Club. I hope to see you all soon…

Why haven't I received my e-News Alerts?
If you are not receiving your e-News Alert sent from the HSC website, it could be due to one
of the following reasons:
1. Registration was incomplete
During the registration process an email is sent out asking you to click a link to verify your
email address. If this step is not completed your account will not be activated and
consequently your eNews Alert selection will not be activated.
2. Check your SPAM Filter Settings
If you are subscribed to or using a spam filter it maybe possible that e-mails from our email
service are directed to a spam folder. For example, some spam filters may place all e-mail
from the ".org" domain in the junk mail folder, requiring the customer to add
"[email protected]" as an approved sender to receive these messages in their
inbox. Please consult your spam filter documentation about how to ensure that your HSC eNews Alerts are not going in a spam folder. All e-mail from this service will be sent from
"[email protected]". Members should „white list‟ the “@huntsvilleskiclub.org”
domain so they may receive all notifications from the club web site and not just the Towncrier
emails.
3. Not Subscribed
Members must choose to receive the eNews Alerts… It is not automatic because many
members choose to use a faux email address and HSC policy is not to be preceived as a
spammer orgainizaiton..
4. Members are unsubscribed to eNews Alerts when…
a. Inbox is full
The HSC received bounced email messages with a message that recipient‟s inbox is full on
multiple occasions will be unsubscribed.
b. Faux email address
Member‟s using the faux email address @foo.foo will be unsubscribed from receiving eNews
Alerts.
c. Bad email address
When an email/internet service provider reports the email address does not exist or has a
fatal error members are unsubscribed.
Members may view all archived e-News Alerts to include the last published eNews Alerts
here:
http://huntsvilleskiclub.org/CMS/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=archive&listid=1enews-alerts-general&Itemid=280
Alerts are published on or after Wednesday of each week, so save this link and check it
often… Login is NOT required.

and health. It is holistic, easy on bone joints, promotes deep breathing, is great for the lower back, fun to learn, and enhances
relaxation. This is an open gym session. No formal instruction will be provided. The protocol is to fall in ranks behind the leader and
mimic the movements to the best of your ability. The group meets in the gym at the Optimist Recreation Center, 703 Oakwood Ave,
Huntsville, AL (256) 427-5775. A class will be identified in the near future for those wishing to pay for formal instruction.

Subaru is a proud sponsor of the Crescent Ski Council (CSC) Racing program. Part of their sponsorship
package this year includes the VIP Discount program for all CSC members. Qualifying members of a
CSC club can purchase or lease a new Subaru at 2% below dealer cost minus any incentives,
which are currently being offered. To qualify, you must have been a member of the Huntsville Ski Club
for at least six (6) months. If you are interested, please notify Bob Breeden at –email address [email protected] of your intent to participate. Subaru will mail the VIP information to you,
which will include information about local dealers participating in the VIP program. Once you have
received the information, you can go to a local dealer, pick out the Subaru that you want, the dealer will
pull the invoice and let the purchaser/leasee know if there are any current incentives. Please take
advantage of this wonderful benefit that Crescent Racing has secured for all CSC clubs.
