The annual PSC summer picnic will be held 12 noon until 5 pm at the Coast Guard Anchorage Club, 7323 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA. The PSC provides hamburgers and hot dogs. Everyone should bring a dish to share—beans, salads, desserts, chips and dips—with serving spoons. There will be a cash bar serving soft drinks, wine, and beer. See Google Maps for directions.
Trip leaders will be available to answer questions about upcoming trips for the next ski season. You can sign up at the picnic. Bring your checkbooks!

If you normally get your Liftline here, in color, from our website, then perhaps you'd like
us to stop mailing you the printed copies. If that's the case, please send a quick e-mail to
Cheree Peirce to let her know.
Council Meeting - Tuesday, August 4
The next meeting of the club's council is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, 6pm at the Ft. Myer O'Club, basement pub.
Helmet Stickers Available
The past two winters our trip leaders offered their skiers vinyl stickers for placing on your helmet, skis, or other items to help enhance club identification and recognition on the slopes. The stickers have a removable adhesive that, although quite tenacious, should allow you to easily remove the stickers, say on a trip to Europe if you're wary of attracting unwanted attention. You might even be able to reuse them if you store them on something plastic or metal—perhaps on a credit card or something else you might find in your wallet or purse. You can get them from Dave Olsen or John Pratt by e-mail request or at a club meeting. Note: If you're putting a sticker on your helmet, make sure that it won't be covered up by your goggles strap.
