------------------------------------------
Skilaufers (pronounced "she-law-fers") is an outdoor and social activities club. We ski, bike, hike, canoe and kayak, camp, dance, golf, play cards and more, depending on the season. Most members are from the Madison area.
We host weekly TGIF happy hours on Fridays at local restaurants where we meet, eat, and visit – guests are welcome! We also host a “Keen Cuisine” outing to restaurants on the third Wednesday of the month, September through April.
Our monthly social get-to-gethers are held the second Tuesday of the month at the VFW Club on Cottage Grove Rd. This is a safe, social environment in which to enjoy yourself. Beverages are reasonably priced, guys and gals are friendly, and the music is always good.
Skilaufers was organized over 45 years ago by a group of young, single professionals working in the Madison area. The club is still a singles group, although married people, who may have met at club functions, can and do participate in our activities. Our club has a 12 member board of directors to guide us. They plan and execute activities, with input from the members, during the year. Membership rewards you with many things to do with other singles, good music every month, a newsletter, and the fun of TGIFs, skiing, hiking, dancing and more! Membership is $15 or $20; $15 if you are interested in viewing the newsletter here on our website, or as an email attachment instead of receiving a newsletter in the mail. It is $20 if you are interested in receiving a newsletter in the mail. Both memberships include free admission to General Meetings.
We WELCOME new members and invite you to come and meet new people and join in on our fun activities!
SAS 50+ MEET & GREET
April 13: SAS (Sports for Active Seniors, our sister organization) has invited us to their 50+MEET & GREET which features food, drink,
booths, music, line dancing and mixers will be held on Thursday April 13 from 6 pm to 9 pm..
The cost is $10 which includes food and one drink. Goodman Center is located at 214 Waubesa St. in Madison.
FFWI Quarterly Meeting/
Bingo Game Afternoon
Join us Wednesday, March 29 - 3-5 pm and for our quarterly meeting at the VFW on Cottage Grove Rd., Madison. We will play friendly games of Bingo. NO MONEY but there will be prizes for the winners.
There will also be a Short General meeting. I need to make picnic reservations for the Memorial Day and Labor Day events and my question is: Should we continue to hold them on the day of the Monday (actual day of the holiday) or on the Sunday before. Please let me know if you have a preference.
I also want to remind you that during the September meeting we will have to hold an election of officers. Please think about volunteering for a board position.
See you at Bingo!! Diane Martin Liebert
President’s Message (12-04-2022)
Hi – I’m Diane Liebert (formerly known as Diane Martin). I am currently serving as acting president for our organization. My mission is to reactivate our club.
To do this we will start by all interested members paying dues of $15 by February 1st. Please include your name, email address and phone numbers with your checks and send them to Skilaufers, PO Box 8511, Madison WI 53708.
In order to do this, we will hold four large activities per year, our two picnics (memorial day and labor day) the Holiday party that our Activities Chair, MaryAnn Fitzsimmons is currently planning. (See article on this website) and one other activity. Mary Ann and I are open to suggestions however I am considering holding an indoor games party one afternoon during March.
Also during this season, Mary Ann is planning some outdoor hikes.
Bob Kreul (608-445-0333) is hosting the Sunday night Sheepshead at Tully’s IIat 6:30pm on Monona Dr. He requests that all players be vaccinated.
Currently we are in need of several board members. Please consider signing up to help.
Benvenutos (Northport) is closed permanently, so the TGIF on Jan20 is changed to Banushis Bar & Grill (BBGs) in Stoughton at Bob Kreul's suggestion.
Diane (Martin) Liebert
