Please join us for our General Meeting on Thursday, April 7th, 6:30pm. The meeting will be at the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, 1363 Spinnaker Dr., Ventura Harbor. This will be our first BBQ of the season, so the club will provide burgers and chicken, and we ask each person to bring a side dish or dessert to share.

April is considered our Annual Membership meeting and we will be taking nominations for Board Positions and voting in our new board. Many of our board members have served the club for a long time and we are looking for new blood to lead us out of COVID and back into great times! Our Secretary and VP of Membership have indicated they wish to be nominated to continue in their positions and we are especially interested in folks interested in being nominated as Social Vice President (VP) as we wish to continue to have at least 2 Social VPs for the next year. Position descriptions can be viewed at: https://lospadresskiclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LPSC-Board-Position-Descriptions-March-2022.pdf

At the meeting, we will be announcing and taking sign-ups for several exciting spring and summer events, including:

• Seal Rookery Walk,
• Island Packers Day Trip to Santa Cruz Island, and
• Rafting on the American River.

And we have more events in the planning stage!

So come and enjoy the good times with friends!

We are back to our winter meeting hours with NO BBQ. The General Meeting will start at 7:00 pm at the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, 1363 Spinnaker Way, Ventura Marina. Please remember to bring a snack to share.

Bring your checkbooks or cash so you can sign-up for our Mammoth Trip scheduled February 22 – 27. We have reserved 2 condos and if we have enough sign-ups for the trip, we can try to get a third condo. As per our trip policy, the Club requires that full payment be received in order to secure reservation on a LPSC trip. If you wait too long, we will be unable to reserve another condo, or if we can, it may be at a much higher cost. Further information on the trip can be found here: 2022 Mammoth Trips

For those who wish to participate, we will be practicing some dance steps for the upcoming Fall party on November 6th. Also, we will be having a raffle and other announcements of upcoming social events.

See you there at 7 pm.

• If you have ever been curious about Native American pottery, Board member and avid ceramicist Rebecca Catterall will present the process of making, decorating and firing pottery by Maria Martinez. Rebecca attended a workshop for two weeks with Martinez and family members from the San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico back in the 1970’s.  The pottery of Maria Martinez is collected world wide and she was visited by presidents and heads of countries from around the world. She is famous for her black on black work. https://americanart.si.edu/artist/maria-martinez-3142
