Thursday, November 27 - Thanksgiving Dinner at Susan’s Home - 3 PM

For more than 30 years, Susan Rose has opened her home on Thanksgiving to anyone who’d like to share a hearty meal and good company - and she’s keeping the tradition alive again this year!

If you don’t have plans (or even if you do but they change at the last minute), Susan warmly invites you to come by for an afternoon filled with great food, laughter, and friendship. You’ll likely see some familiar faces and maybe make a few new friends along the way. As Susan likes to say, “The more, the merrier!”

The Menu
Susan will be serving up a delicious spread featuring:
Turkey • Ham • Dressing • Gravy • Yams • Fried Corn • Green Beans & Potatoes • Rolls • A couple of desserts • Wine

Details
📍 Susan’s home in Bellevue - please contact her for directions.
📞 Questions or to RSVP? Give Susan a call or text at 615-364-8332.

If you know ahead of time that you’ll be joining, she’d love to hear from you - but don’t worry if plans change; you’re always welcome to drop by! And even if you have plans for dinner, feel free to come play games with us after dinner.

Tuesday, December 2 - Monthly Membership Meeting - begin gathering 5:30 PM - meeting 6:30 PM - social and dinner continues

Join us for a relaxed and fun evening at Fozzy's Bar & Grill in Franklin as we kick off the holiday season and look ahead to our 2025–26 ski adventures!

Why come?

Whether you're a longtime club member, a first-time guest, or just curious about what we do - you’re welcome.
Great opportunity to mix & mingle, get to know other skiing and winter‑sports enthusiasts, and relax over food & drinks.
We’ll hold a short meeting (no more than 10–20 minutes) to cover club updates, upcoming trips, and volunteer opportunities. Trip leaders will be on hand to answer your questions.

We have the whole upstairs area reserved, so it’s just us — easy to chat and spread out.

Plenty of free parking is available around the restaurant.

What to expect

At 5:30 PM, the meet‑n‑greet / happy hour kicks off. Arrive early if you want to snag a good seat or catch up with folks.
At 6:30 PM, we’ll pause for the business portion: brief reports, trip announcements, and plans for the season.
Afterward, hang out as long as you like — stay to socialize, have dinner, drop suggestions, or just enjoy good company.

Want to save some money?
Who doesn't?! Join Fozzy's VIP program and save 50% on your first bill, up to $20! Thereafter you'll earn 3% on each meal toward your Fozzy's account as well as getting a free birthday dessert. Full details on the Fozzy's website. IMPORTANT: you must sign up in advance of your visit (probably at least a day before) so don't wait until the last minute to do so! There is no cost to join this program.

How to RSVP / Help us plan
Please let us know if you’re coming - especially if you’re bringing a guest - so we can ensure enough space upstairs.
Please RSVP by on the event page so we know to keep an eye out for you!
Also, if you have an idea, presentation, or topic you’d like to bring up at the meeting (trip idea, gear talk, etc.), drop us a note in advance.

We hope to see you on December 2! Let’s get together, celebrate the season, and get excited about the ski season ahead.
