    Ms Sunshine .... (hmmmm, who is this?)

Hi, I am Ingeborg and carry the wonderful job of Miss Sunshine in our club. Events happen to all of us, some are happy, some are sad. At times we need to reach out to let our fellow ski club members know that they are not alone and that we think of them. To make this work, it requires you as a member to inform me when you hear of someone who should be contacted. I will send out a card, put in a phone call or help with a drive to the doctor. So please remember to email (Click here) or call me (pls get my phone # from the Members Only section).
