Presidents Message - Summer Schedule
You may have noticed a change in the club website (www.ocsj.org). A new format is presented, with page access buttons located across the top of the site. There are some new features and more coming. The new single 'Update Page' is easy to access and contains all the changes from-all activity sections. Check it often for new information and before every trip, and... for the 'website-only listings'. Initial comments requested a specific Schedule Button for each activity section, and we now have included that function.
We recently offered a member survey, and you can view the charted results from the website home page. One of the themes across the written comments was a request for variety across skill levels and trip times. We take your comments and suggestions seriously and appreciate the responses. The club is a co-created volunteer organization and we need and encourage your involvement, so let us know if you have interest in helping with leadership, board, and organizational functions, as we have openings.
With each new season comes a new set of trips and events. The warm weather brings a focus on boating trips. A great mix of these trips is on the printed schedule as well as last minute additions and changes on the website (www.ocsj.org). Remember that weather and conditions affect the boating (and other) schedules and you should check the Updates webpage often, and before ever trip. Biking also has a large schedule of offerings, so keep checking the website listings for trips and changes. They also offer updates and status via their Google group. Hiking/Camping/Backpacking continue all year of course, including the standard trips and after work trips. Evening trips are a little cooler. This is also a good time to think ahead for XC-Ski trips. Check the XC-Skiing section on the website for some great instructional information. Contact the XC-Skiing activity chair or leaders for more information.
