I hope everyone had a great weekend and that you got to see a great win by the Avs tonight against Minnesota! Tomorrow we have a great speaker who happens to be an Olympian! Hunter Powell will be speaking to our club about his experience as an Olympic Bobsledder. He will discuss how the bobsled works and how he made the journey to making the Olympic team. I'm not sure if we have ever had an Olympian speak to our club or if we have, it's been a long time!
Next week we will have our Club Assembly. Kathe has been working hard on putting together the budget and I know she is excited to share with the club her plans for next year. Here are the other updates for everyone to be aware of:
Please don't forget to register for District Conference. With us being the host club, we definitely want our club to have the most attendants.
If you have interest in being considered for the Board, please let Kathe or I know this week
We have a fun offsite planned for June 9th. We are going to have a presentation at Avery's Teahouse. Avery's Teahouse is in the Loveland Yards and is part of a non-profit called Avery's Light. The Teahouse provides inclusive employment opportunities for those experiencing developmental disabilities. We will have lunch served in a style similar to a tea party while learning more about their mission. I had a chance to visit there last week and had a great time! We should have a link to register soon, and I will provide more details on logistics.

The Olympic Dream: Behind the Scenes of My Bobsled Journey
Hunter will start the talk with what bobsled is and how it works. He will do a little behind the scenes of what the sled is like and the mechanics of pushing, driving, etc. He will cover what daily life looks like in season, what are all the stops that the team covers, and what training is like out of season. He will finish the talk with the story of his athletic journey from high school to competing in the Olympics and what plans he has for the future. If time permits, he will cover a few of the lessons he hase learned along the way.
