Space City Ski & Adventure Club

THANK YOU FOR VISITING OUR NEW WEBSITE
MEMBERS, REMEMBER TO LOGIN !!!


We are a non-profit, member run, Sports and Adventure Club operating in Houston, Texas for 50+ years.  We offer 8 - 12 winter and summer trips per year, all over the world.

Our social, sports, cultural, and charitable events fill the calendar year-round. From September to May we have fun monthly general meetings normally held the 2nd Monday of the month.  Happy Hours are the 4th Thursday of each month, year-round.

Popular local Houston Area activities this year were monthly dance lessons, monthly dinner gatherings, theater outings, and winery/brewery tours.  Activities are run by volunteers, if there is something you are interested in doing, make a suggestion and we will consider offering it.

Initial trip sales generally start in August and sell briskly, so act quickly to avoid landing on a wait-list.  Trip participation requires membership but it is only $40 for an Individual for an entire season.  Have a look around and we hope you decide to Join Us.  If you need some more time to decide, Click "Add Me to your Mailing List" (Top Left Corner)

THE SCSC 2022-23 TRIP SCHEDULE: RITA CARDENAS VP-TRIPS






Pat Piech and I are working on the slate of trips for the 2023/2024 season.  We are in the process of finalizing contracts and budgets. 

Just a reminder our Trip Expo will be at the August 14th meeting at The Post Oak Grill. 

Please plan to attend this meeting, as you will have the opportunity to meet our Trip Coordinators and learn more about each trip. 

Make sure your membership is current as trip signup will commence on August 21st and 28th. 

For our avid skiers, we focused on mountains that accept the EPIC pass with the exception of Interlaken Switzerland and Whitefish. 

We will continue to add more trips and perhaps some domestic mini trips. Check in often to the website for updates.


Cheers to a great travel season!

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT LYNN BURCH


Greetings SCSC’ers!

Thanks everyone for coming to the April and May meetings.

We now have the new officers in place and are ready to get started on the new year.

Some of the officers are the same while Lori Aubrect is replacing Sandra Stolnacke and Rita Cardenas is moving up from Dot of Trips to VP of Trips and Pat Piech is becoming Director of Trips. 

Thanks to all of the officers for volunteering their time and effort to run SCSC. 
It takes a village!


For many years, Space Ski and Adventure Club has not had meetings in June, July and August.  After Covid when we couldn’t meet at all, we decided to have the meetings year round.  This year the attendance to the meetings has gotten smaller and with summer vacations coming up we decided to not have the June and July meetings. 

The August meeting where Rita presents the trips and the trip leaders talk about their trip will have a big attendance.  We plan on also getting the other banquet room in the back as you walk in the door from the parking garage to have tables set up for each trip and you will be able to get information and talk to the TC.  This will give us extra room in the main bar area so you can have a place to sit down.

A redesign of our website is in the works showing other activities we have.

Bidfest was April 14-16 in DFW area where the TSC trips for next year were chosen. 

Rita now has the place, dates and TC’s listed on the website, the prices will come as soon as they are confirmed.

The Texas Hill Country Wine Tasting Weekend is June 9-11.  We have 20 signed up and it should be a lot of fun. 

We are hoping to have more of these long weekend trips. 

If you have a place that you would like to run a short trip, please let Rita know.


Welcome to the 2023/2024 officers and I look forward to working with everyone to have another great year of trips and fun activities.


Lynn Burch

President
