[NMCCSC] Ellis parking lot.

[Dave Gabel via NMCCSCeGroup]

Hi Gordon,Unfortunately the NMCCSC does not have a slush fund of extra money to pay for unauthorized expenses (unauthorized by the general membership; not allocated in the annual budget presented to members for a vote). Who would have foreseen that there would be a need for private citizens to plow parking on Federal lands? 
I am very grateful to Sandia Nordic for the plowing they organized and have expressed that gratitude with my pocketbook. I hope and expect others have as well. But it would be irresponsible for the NMCCSC Board to donate member funds for this purpose. Kind of like a Commander in Chief deciding to use disaster relief funds to build a border wall.

Members of the x-c ski club are probably the highest users of the Ellis parking area. With the federal gov. still shut down , Sandia Nordic has been generous enough to pay a private contractor to clear the lot for all of us to use. We could not have used Ellis yesterday for the beginners class w/o Sandia Nordic paying for it to be plowed.  It would be a great gesture for the X-C ski club to help with this expense. After the snow was cleared we had another 4-5" yesterday and another 5'+ today. We will  need another clearing if we intend to keep this highly used area open. A lot of us have contributed out of our pocket  and will continue to do so, but if the club can kick in it would be great. Best, Gordon _______________________________________________
