Announcing a New Name for the Rochester Ski Club's Website

It's official - we are replacing the rochesterskiclub.com website with the RochesterNYskiclub.com website.

Our new website will be interactive -- it will allow for two way communication. 

The new website will be managed by Wild Apricot (WA), and allow for email communications, membership directory updates and membership renewals, social event and trip registrations and will lessen our dependence on the USPS.   

Wild Apricot will also replace our past use of PayPal with their integrated Credit Card capabilities. Don’t worry...WA’s application doesn’t store your credit card information. All communications over our website are secure (aka encrypted) to protect your privacy.    

Where may I find the new website? For your convenience click on this link: https://RochesterNYskiclub.com. Once you have located the new website, save this address to your bookmarks or favorites by clicking the “Star” located on the far right of the web browser address field, click "done" to save.

Why did we change from “Rochesterskiclub” to “RochesterNYskiclub”? Since we’re published on the Global World Wide website, it was suggested that we distinguish ourselves from the 17 other 'Rochester' cities in the USA. Can you name all 17? (*See below...)

Early bird membership renewal will be happening shortly. A separate communication with instructions will be sent. If you have already renewed, Thank You!

If you need technical help with connecting, updating your web browser bookmark / favorites, please contact Bev at bevm09@frontiernet.net.

If you need help renewing your membership, please contact Elise at elise.kloesz@gmail.com.

* Here are the other 17 "Rochester" cities in the United States:

Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin

(Keep this in mind for your next Trivial Pursuit game).

Enjoy the new website!

IT’S TIME!

Back in 2004 a very important man asked if I would like to create a website for the club. By October of that year, I launched the RSC website. Nineteen years later, I am still using the same software. It's no longer supported yet has gotten the job done. I've made thousands of changes over the years—adding hundreds of trip and event flyers, forms, newsletters— mostly written by others, thousands of photographs, kept Upcoming Events pretty up to date along with oodles of other information in which the club might be interested. Anyway, for many years the club's "eggs" when it comes to updating the website have been in one basket - mine. It is time (some would say, finally!) that we develop a new website. Annie Bacon has taken on this challenge using a software package called Wild Apricot. It's a big job and she's been working diligently. Currently we are in the testing phase.

I'm not exactly sure what all of my responsibilities will be with the new website, and all of the board members (e.g., treasurer, membership, event & trip coordinators, newsletter, etc.) will also be doing their jobs a little differently interfacing with Wild Apricot. The really good thing is that not all of the club's "eggs" when it comes to website updates will be in one basket! Stay tuned for more communications -- including the rollout of the new website and what you, our club members will need/want to do to use it.

Exciting stuff!!

Yours truly,
Bev McElheny

P.S. That very important man is our good friend, Jim Peters
