Christmas comes to Apex clubs
With a new ski season underway, the Apex Ski Club, Apex Freestyle Club and Apex Zone Volunteer Ski Patrol each received cash infusions of $2,564.25 as Christmas gift donations. The money came from committee volunteers hosting a 50th anniversary celebration for Apex Ski Resort at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. The success of the event resulted in funds being available. Dave Lieskovsky, representing that committee, presented cheques to the three groups.
