Monthly Membership Meeting
Tuesday, October 13th, 2026
7:00 pm

Register To Attend

by Monday October 5th, please!

Our October meeting will be on Tuesday, October 13th, 7:00 pm in Ft. Myer's Spates Hall Conference Center.  We expect to meet in the Ballroom.  Here's the link to a map showing the location of Spates Hall on Ft. Myer.

The evening will include a presentation on trip insurance by Myra Altschuler of Travel Protectors LLC.  Myra handles the insurance that's included with many of our out-of-country trips.  

Our complimentary Oktoberfest menu will include (to be confirmed) Pork Schnitzel, an assortment of German sausages with Three Bean Salad, Sauerkraut & Red Cabbage, German Potato Salad, Potato Pancakes with Applesauce, and Carrot Cake for dessert.  A cash bar will be available for the drinks of your choice.

Trip Payments:  A couple of our ski trips have interim payments due coincident with the meeting, or before our October 13th meeting, including:

There are several ways you can make interim payments:

• You can pay online by going to our Partial Payments Page.
• We can take credit card payments at the meeting.
• If you prefer to pay by check, make it payable to the Pentagon Ski Club and mail it to our treasurer:  Tom Gallagher, 8203 Lazy Point Lane, Lorton, VA 22079.  Indicate which trip, and what skier(s), it is for.  Or give it to your trip leader (or to Tom) at the meeting.
  
• If you wish to pay your entire remaining balance (as opposed to just an interim payment), you can pay online directly against your trip invoice.  After logging-in, you can find your invoice(s) from your profile page by selecting your name in the upper right corner of the website.  

Registration Required

We're asking everyone to register to attend – by Monday, October 5th (just a week before the meeting) – so we can adjust the catering.

Bringing a Guest?

If you plan to come to the meeting with someone else, there are two ways to let us know:

• If your companion is a club member in their own right, they can log in with their credentials and register for the meeting much as they would do if signing up for a trip.
  
• Whether your companion is a club member or not, you can simply include them in your own meeting registration by clicking on the Add guest button before submitting your registration.
