2020 Far West Convention
by Debbi Kor
Convention Chairperson

`

Picture the sight of majestic Mount Hood
off to the east. Picture the beautiful Columbia
River flowing past the Red Lion Hotel on the
River - Jantzen Beach, in Portland, Oregon. This
is what you would have seen, had there been a
Convention May 28-31, 2020.
The Northwest Ski Club Council was all
set to host the 88th Annual FWSA Convention,
in Portland this year. However, due to the Corona Pandemic, that did not happen.
I'd like to thank the incredible Convention
Committee that we had in place. Led by Sheri
Parshall, they were on the ball and had everything planned down to a gnat's eyebrow.

The committee consisted of: Jeanne Reinhardt, Shawn Storey, Sue Rimkeit, Sandy
Schaub, Jessica Tagliofico, Marilyn Sigler,
Mary Olhausen, Linda McGavin, Steve
Coxen, Norman Peer, and Chris Ciardi, President of Northwest Ski Club Council. Keep
your ideas and plans in reserve, as NWSCC will
be back to host once again, in 2002, at the Red
Lion.
Far West has a number of Program Sponsors, who help us out each year, and I'd like to
thank them for their continued support. They
are: Big White Ski Resort, sponsor of the Far
West Council's Man and Woman of the Year;

The beauty of the Mission Valley Marriott

outrigging and includes lunch by the bay.
Late Friday afternoon you will enjoy the
