KERHONKSON, N.Y. - Approx-imately 50 members of the Carpathian Ski Club (KLK) and their friends got together on September 14-16 for a weekend of tennis and socializing.

Saturday turned out to be a sunny, cool day - perfect for some friendly tennis matches and an outdoor lunch during which everyone ate, drank and got to know each other. The day ended with a cocktail party and a sumptuous dinner, the dance having been canceled out of respect for the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States

Severin Palydowych, the current president of KLK, began the evening with a prayer for the victims and their families. It was a somber moment for everyone present.

Sunday began with breakfast, then liturgy, followed by the annual meeting at which re-elections were held.

The newly elected board consists of the following: president - Peter Kurylas; vice- president - Zenon Stachiw; treasuer - Natalia Kachala; secretary - Christine Klufas; skiing chairman - Severin Palydowych; skiing co-chairman - Orest Fedash; tennis chairman - George Popel; golf chairman - Oles Popowich; special events chairman - Vira Popel; coordinator of external affairs - Andrij Hadzewycz; honorary president 2001-2002 - Orest Slupchinskyj; honorary president 2002-2003 - Wolodymyr Hnatkiwskyj; chairman of the nominating committee - Roman Rondiak; KLK delegate to USCAK - Severin Palydowych.
