June Word From the Prez

We might be looking at rainy
days ahead, but don�t let that
stop you from planning a
hiking, cycling or some
other outdoor activity. It is
easy enough to hike with an
umbrella, or it may be a good
excuse to try out that rain
gear you seldom get a chance
to use.

If your hike ends at an onsen,
then hey, what more could
one ask for? If it is raining
really hard, it might be a
good time to kill a few hours
pouring over maps and guide-
books to plan for the dream
trip you have always wanted
to take to the Japan alps.

The point is that the
IOC functions only because
members come forward and
take the initiative to organize
events. If you haven�t organ-
ized something recently,
please look at your calendar
and pick a weekend when you
are �free� then let
Chris, our terrific activities coordinator know your plans.

If you will be out of the country (like I will until June 21) then have a safe trip. Come to think of it, that rainy day might be the perfect time to get your outdoor activities insurance in order so that your hike in the alps can be done with peace of mind. Take care, get out and get active.

Best regards,
- Jacquelyn
