Fall has arrived, the temps are cooling down and Ausblick is actively involved in preseason activities. This newsletter is being sent via E-Blast (e-mail) and paper mail to insure the information reaches everyone.

As many of you are aware, Ausblick has been using electronic mail for a few years now. While it’s been a cost effective process, we’ve found through our data sources, that just over half of the e-mail addresses we send correspondence to are opening the documents. Furthermore, several e-mail address’ are bouncing, which means the information is not reaching the person intended.

As a result, we decided to snail mail every Ausblick Family a paper copy of this newsletter and the flyers included. It’s our attempt to insure you receive this important information. And since we still believe in the cost effective e-mail process, we ask everyone to help us by:

1. Insure we have your current e-mail address. If you don’t receive this newsletter via e-mail, please send Dennis Evinrude an e-mail with the information. “DEvinrude@ausblick.org”
2. Please check to insure our e-mails are not ending up in your Spam folder or blocked for other reasons. If that happening, please take corrective action.
3. If your e-mail changes, please contact Dennis Evinrude or stop at the front desk while out at the club and inform them of the change.

We sincerely appreciate your co-operation in helping insure our electronic messages reach you.

Just as a reminder, Ausblick’s annual Ski Sale is scheduled for Sunday, October 27th. Equipment and other items can be dropped off on Saturday, October 26th., between the hours of 3:30 and 5:30pm. A copy of the Flyer is included for further details. Please NOTE, that this year all sale items must be valued in $5.00 increments. We’ve decided to go this route to streamline the financial transactions and because keeping enough singles on hand was a futile task.

Also included within this Newsletter is a flyer and your invitation to this year’s preseason Wine Tasting Event, November 6th. at Ausblick Lodge. PRP International will be back to offer several selections of wines that will be available for delivery prior to the holidays. So if you’re looking for a night out, shopping for a holiday wine selection or simply looking for a way to introduce friends that may be potential Ausblick Members, please read over the flyer and reserve your spot. Attendance is limited to the first 60 people who sign up and send in the $5.00/person registration fee.

For the “new” Ausblick Members this year, please set aside either Sunday, December 1st. (1-3pm) or Wednesday, December 4th. (6:30-8pm) for attending one of the Orientation Sessions. More information will be sent as we near the dates.

Thank You for taking the time to read the above message and please, help us by following through with the e-mail improvements. We sincerely want everyone to receive the correspondence mailed out.

On behalf of the Board and Staff,
Bob Turowski – Board President
Dennis Evinrude- General Manager
