May Meeting
| | |
Our next Powder Dogs meeting is Tuesday, May 14th at Lou Malnati's in Lakewood.
Social hour is from 7 to 8 pm. Meeting starts at 8 pm.
Just a reminder, Lou Malnati's does not charge the Powder Dogs for using the meeting room. It's because we order food and drinks. You are not required to order anything but it helps us get free use of the room. Please keep ordering!
For those eating, you can order ahead and have your pizza ready when you arrive.
Call- 815-477-8100.
Put it in your phone now!

Our Club's Sponsor

Having a paid Powder Dogs membership allows you to receive a 10% in store discount on all purchases at Alpine Accessories.
Right now, Alpine Accessories is set up for summer with the new stand up paddleboards models, accessories and summer clothing.
But remaining 2013 winter gear and clothing will be on display all summer and marked down 40% to 70%! Keep in mind, Powder Dogs paid members receive an extra 10% discount, even on sale items.
Watch your newsletters because Alpine Accessories will be offering a SUP promotion day this summer for paid Powder Dogs members.
It good to be a
Powder Dog!

Greetings!
Winter may have started late, but it made up for it in the end. Many resorts in Colorado, Utah and Montana had some of the best snow of the season in APRIL! And for only the second time ever, Vail opened an extra weekend after their closing date due to the 2-3 feet of snow that fell during their closing weekend.
So what's in the long range forecast for next season. History shows that 70% of the time how one winter ends, is how the next winter begins. So we have a 70% chance for an early winter.
Enough about last season, let's talk about now and next season.

The points have been counted and our 2013-2014 Top Dog award went to Jeannie Conway for the second year in a row. Congrats! Jeannie was awarded a $100.00 gift card from Alpine Accessories and a Top Dog statue. But the streak ends there because Powder Dogs officers are not allowed to compete in the Top Dog award. So who will be the next Top Dog? You maybe?
Top Dog points are awarded every time you participate in something with the club. Attend a meeting, get points. Become a chair person, get points. Get the idea? Top Dog award is given to the person who participates the most in club events and functions . Bow wow!
