Re: Central Middle School Skiing

["Charles D. Jackson" <charlesj@fidnet.com>]

Bonnie, for you information, the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS) is
an affilation of about 84 ski clubs scattered through out the US.  The
Black ski club in KC is a member of the NBS. 

For faster assistance, recommend you contact the Harold Owens at
287-1157. He is the president of the local ski club. Also, will
forwarding your email Sharon Jefferies (emoore@worldnet.att.net).  She
is also a member and is involved in their club's youth ski activities.
Will also forward your email to the NBS Public Relations person, Lawanda
Joseph. Will also look around my house to send what I have that I can
send you.   

Finally, I am going to send your email to couple of hundred Black skiers
through out the US and England. I am certain that between the KC ski
club and the internet, you will get more that what you need. If you need
any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to email me.  Please
keep me posted on the results of this email.
