| What is HISC? |
The Heidelberg International Ski Club (HISC) is a private, nonprofit organization authorized by the Heidelberg military community. Membership is open to any individual, regardless of race, creed, sex, nationality, physical or mental handicaps, military status, etc.
Our MEMBERSHIP consists of military and civilian personnel in Heidelberg and surrounding areas as well as other local residents. Our multinational membership reflects the international flavor of Heidelberg. Each member (including each child) is issued a HISC membership card which is required for trip sign-ups, drawings and other HISC functions. HISC holds SOCIALS every other Wednesday during the ski season. Meetings begin at 1900 and feature trip sign- ups, entertainment, refreshments, equipment demos, ski tuning, fashion shows, and/or official club business, all in a social setting. Meeting dates and locations are published in the Ski Guide and the SNO SHEET (the HISC biweekly newsletter) and posted on HISC Lion signs throughout Heidelberg. The SNO SHEET is published biweekly and is the official medium for notifying members of the current social and trip schedules and changes in HISC policies. Each member should ensure that we have his/her current address. Contributions and comments are encouraged from all members and should be directed to the current HISC President or Publications Manager. Read your SNO SHEET!!! |
The PURPOSE of HISC is to provide its members an opportunity to ski Europe. HISC fosters positive relations among its members, the Heidelberg community and European skiing communities through both skiing and social functions. HISC is governed by an EXECUTIVE COUNCIL composed of elected and appointed officers. HISC operates under a Constitution and Bylaws approved by the general membership and policies established by the Executive Council. Members may review a copy of the Constitution and Bylaws at the membership table at every meeting. HISC encourages each member to read the Constitution and Bylaws and to provide constructive suggestions and comments to any member of the council. HISC runs SKI TRIPS almost every weekend during the ski season with as many as three over selected American holidays. The trip list reflects the desires of our members. HISC announces the trip sign-up schedule in the SNO SHEET, and trips remain open for at least two membership meetings. The SNO PHONE is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to members to announce trip and meeting information and policy changes throughout the year. SNO PHONE |
