A Message from the NBS President 4-17-2013

From the Desk of the NBS President

[For Immediate Release]

April 17, 2013


It was with heartfelt empathy to learn of the tragic bombing that occurred at the Boston
Marathon, and even more deeply to recently learn that one of our NBS family members was
a victim from the senseless act that took place in the city of Boston, MA. While watching the
Boston Marathon with his family, eight year old Martin Richard was tragically killed in the
incident. Martin was a member of the Boston Ski Party’s partnership with Youth Enrichment
Services (YES) and the club’s ski team.

On behalf of the National Brotherhood of Skiers, I express deepest sympathy to the family of
Martin Richard, and extend condolences and prayers to the Richard family for the loss of their
son and brother. We remain hopeful and prayerful on the recovery of Martin’s mother and sister
as they deal with the significant injuries they suffered from the bombing incident.



Diana C. Starks, President
National Brotherhood of Skiers

Ebony Ice Ski Club reaching out to inner-city youth.

MILWAUKEE- It's goal is to expose inner city youth to non-traditional winter sports. 

One local woman is doing her part.  Eunice Thomas is President of the Ebony Ice Ski Club.  She notes, "I've been skiing for 21 years. It was a goal of mine when I graduated from college. I wanted to get involved in skiing and weightlifting, and skiing just took over everything."

Thomas explains, "We live in Wisconsin.  It's great to get out to do something fun in the winter.  It gets kids off the couch." 

The Ebony Ice Ski Club is like a classroom in the snow.  Kids get basic skills and more.  They learn discipline coordination, and confidence along with mastering the fundamentals of skiing and snowboarding.  The lessons take place at the Sunburst Ski Hill in Kewaskum.

Thomas adds, "By the end of the last four weeks, they can see themselves progressing and it helps improve their self esteem." And thanks to the Ebony Ice Ski Club, students are exposed to new challenges that will help them on the slopes, and later in life.

Ketchum Welcomes Winter Enthusiasts

Members of the Ebony Ice Ski Club of Milwaukee, Wisc., proudly display their banner Sunday in a reception

for the National Brotherhood of Skiers at Ketchum Town Square.  Nearly 1,000 members of the Brotherhood

—some registered and some not—are in the valley as part of an annual outing for the group. Visitors are
representing cities that include Detroit, Washington, Indianapolis, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, New York City
and New Orleans. The last time the group was in Sun Valley was in 1998. Ed King, a SunValley ski instructor
who is helping to host the visitors, said the gathering has been a huge success so far. “They are all having
a great time and the community has been very welcoming,” he said. Photo by Willy Cook
