Hi All:
Banquet:
Today was the last day to pay for the banquet in the pro room, as the pro room will be closed during the week. I will accept reservations for the banquet until Wednesday 10 AM and you can pay at the door for the tickets on Friday. It’s also important to understand we will not accept coats and or give out checks at the banquet on Friday evening , this can be done on Saturday or Sunday.
Thank you all, and I look forward to seeing you on Friday for the awards banquet.

Hey all,
The banquet is approaching, the awards are at the engravers, looking forward to a good turnout. Please be at the pro room this weekend to ;
1 – return your / Camp Fortune’s jacket.
2 – buy your ticket for the banquet.
3 – collect your last pay.
We want to avoid having to receive jackets the night of the banquet, so we will receive jackets on the 7th of April also, by then I am hoping that I will have them all back.
Remember it’s not so much how you start , it’s how you finish .
Make your Director happy, be at the banquet. Contribute to our great traditions and awards.
All for now,
Frank

The weather is turning to sunshine, so I expect a strong weekend for privates, please remember to report to the bell , SJ will be coordinating.
I will be needing people to work the Kids Up Front event on the 24th of March. Let me know if you’re able to work the 2 hr session in the morning. We will be running a station system and getting 100 kids up the lift in two hours. Looking for 15 instructors.
Tickets for the Banquet available in the pro room, Banquet is April 6th and as always I hope to see as many people as possible attending, to finish the season off and applaud our winners for the various awards. I will be posting a list of the nominees soon.
We will be accepting instructor jacket returns as of the 23, 24 and 25th of March , clean and on a hanger. Or any weekend until the 7th of April.

Historical Note:
The Ides of March is a Roman event that occurs on the 15th of March. It is on this day that Roman law dictated that all debts must be paid – could it be a coincidence that Julius Caeser was killed on this day in 44 BC?
See, we’re always teaching SOMETHING…
Hey all,
The last week of programs is here, but we are not finished our season yet , this week was the Quebec break and next week is the Ont. Break. Thanks to those that have committed to work those weeks, we could use a few more for the Ontario week. So don’t be shy let us know we can count on you. On weekends we are still providing privates and beginner specials.
If you’re working Ont. break, please be here for the 9am meeting.
As well we will have special events going that may require help.
A few dates to remember;
March 24th we are host a ‘Kids up Front “ ski day”, we will need instructors to teach 100 kids how to ski. It will be a fun day helping some young people get their first experience on snow.
March 25th Card board sled race, we have 60 entries and will need to put together an event crew to handle things.
Easter egg hunt will also require a few bodies, more details to follow.
Date Change:
Due to scheduling problems, the Academy Banquet has been moved to April 6, 2018. Tickets are $25 per person and pre-paid reservations can be made at the Cage (debit or credit only please).
Pro race on the Sunday the 8th of April.
All for now

Hello all,
Have a list of important items to cover. As we enter the last month and a half of the season, we need to be aware of the following :
March Breaks begin next week with QC (Mar 5-8), and the following week for ON (Mar 12-15). If you’re keen, sign up at the cage.
I am taking awards nominations: please send your nominations to fbernier@campfortune.com. Banquet is on the 7th of April.
Important to know that the season extends well past the 9 week programs with lots of opportunities to work during the march breaks and privates on weekends into April.
Joe, Josh and Eva really appreciated the extra help last weekend – thank you very much to everyone who covered classes. We are looking for help again this coming weekend from 4 instructors on Saturday and 1-2 on Sunday. Contact Joe.McLean@mail.pwbcorp.com
Jacket return will start the weekend of the 24th and 25th of March. And the last weekend for returns will be April 8th. IMPORTANT: the last paycheck will actually be a check, not direct deposit, and will require you to hand in your coat in order to pick up your pay. We expect the coat to be washed and on a hanger.
All for now.
