On behalf of our ski board and members I would like to thank Brian Henrickson for his dedication, enthusiasm and hard work as past President of our ski club.
Brains efforts, especially with development of the youth program have been exceptional and well received in our ski community. The youth are the future of our sport. Brian, we appreciate your work.
My wife Sue and I have been active in XC Skiing for over 25 years traveling often to Greenbush with family and friends. We now reside in our log home just a few minutes from beautiful “Greenbush USA” and appreciate more than ever the natural beauty the Kettle Moraine has to offer. We enjoy cycling, hiking, snow shoeing, triathlon and just hanging out in the Kettles with our friends and family. We are very fortunate to have been so welcomed into the Kettle Moraine community.
Our Ski Club will be taking on a new look and hopes to become more pro-active in our sport. Although we can’t control the weather we can control our participation with youth programs, trail development and improvements, and the environment. We can share the health benefits of XC Skiing with family, friends and the less fortunate.
As your new president I have the opportunity to give back to the sport that we all love so much. I would also like to challenge all of our members to become more active in the club and help preserve the future of Cross Country for future generations.
Our club has accomplished a great deal and we have set some new goals for us to achieve.
