April is considered our Annual Membership meeting and we will be taking nominations for Board Positions and voting in our new board. Anyone is eligible to be on our board and position descriptions can be viewed at: LPSC-Board-Position-Descriptions. The board is always looking for new blood with fresh ideas and we greatly encourage you to consider being on the board.

We will also be taking signups for Music Under the Stars concert featuring the “Smooth Sounds of Santana” on July 20 at the Olivas Adobe in Ventura. Details will be presented at the meeting. Your payment at the meeting is required for signup. If you can’t make the meeting, contact Carol A. to make arrangements.

Our General Meeting will be Thursday, December 7 at 7 PM at the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club in Ventura Harbor. The club is providing pizza, so please bring a festive snack or dessert to share. We will have our annual Holiday Gift Exchange. All participants should bring a nicely wrapped gift (new and valued at ~$20). Each participant will get a number and then the fun begins as we choose gifts from the table of wrapped gifts or gifts are “stolen” from those who have already chosen one. Don’t worry, rules will be explained at the meeting. Also the bar will be open for purchases and a LPSC signature drink!

The Los Padres Ski and Social Club (LPSC) will host Island Packers October 5 from 7 – 9 PM at their monthly meeting. The general public is invited to hear Cheryl Connnally share the founding of Island Packers by her parents when she was only 10 up to the present.  The company recently renewed their contract with the National Park Service to take visitors to the Santa Barbara Channel Islands. This National Park is a local gem and has a fascinating history which Cheryl will share through images and her family story.

LPSC meets at the Pierpoint Bay Yacht Club, 1363 Spinnaker Dr, Ventura Harbor. Feel free to bring a snack to share and drinks will be available for purchase. The Club will soon celebrate 85 years in Ventura. Join us for monthly meetings, happy hours, local outtings, activities and of course ski trips.

Please join us for our General Meeting on Thursday, September 7, 6:30pm, at the PBYC clubhouse, 1363 Spinnaker Dr., Ventura Harbor.

Instead of a BBQ, each person is invited and encouraged to enter the LPSC Great Chili Cook-off and bring a pot of your special chili for folks to sample. First Prize is $25 and Second Prize is $10. The club will provide little cups and spoons for tasting of each entrant’s chili. The club will also provide some chili so no-one goes hungry. Whether you bring chili or not, please bring a side dish or dessert to share!

So start researching recipes and thinking of a descriptive name for your chili, and start cookin’!

We have some exciting fall events coming up that we will discuss, including our Annual Beach Party, a Champagne Murder Mystery Dinner and our upcoming Fall Party.
