Ski Club Planning
Skiers Warm-Up Hnl
Members of the Matanuska Ski
club have started preliminary
work on their anticipated warm
up hut to be located in the Little
Susitna area.
Members of the club this week
made an appeal for scrap lumber
and building n#terials. In addi
tion to the warm-up hut, a com
fort station is needed and housing
for the tow motor will have to be
built. Anyone having scrap build
ing materials who would donate
them to the club is asked to con
tact Joe Gallant.
The hut will be so constructed
that one wall will have windows
its entire width, facing the ski
hill, to afford spectators a view
of the skiers.
Another work party will be
scheduled within a short time and
all members are urged to plan
to attend and help with the con
struction program, planned to be
completed before snow fall.
HOMEMAKERS CLUB
NOTES |
Homesteaders
The Homesteaders met on Aug
ust 12 at Lee Wetherbee’s, Mile
71, Glenn Highway. Plans for
our entry booth for the Fair were
discussed, also for the booth for
sale of home made articles. The
location of the booth on the
Fair grounds will be announced
through the Council newsletter.
Our club hopes many articles will
be brought in for sale.
Since project leaders were not
available for the meeting on
Draperies and Home Furnishings,
we enjoyed an account of our
president Jean O’Neill’s recent
trip to McCarthy and Kennecott. i
It was like a journey into the
past to learn of the many sights
she saw.
Pot luck lunch was served.
Our next meeting will be at
Cam Fancher’ on September 9.,
