I received a copy of regulations relavent to Soda Springs from Pat Malberg, but it does not appear to apply to our ski lodge. Our club has owned and operated the building since 1961 after purchasing it from the owner of Beacon Hill Lodge, Elmo Moriani. I am seriously concerned that your effort to develop a community center may affect our continued existence. A snow drought is bad enough. Conflict with Nevada County will be much worse. Sincerely, William Zschaler Dear Sarah,

The map cuts off at Lake Valley Res. Do you have a copy that proceeds through Emigrant Gap (town)? I am trying to identify if Emigrant Gap was on one of the Emigrant Trails (I am pretty sure that the Donner Snowshoe Party came through EG but I have also heard that there was a route through Emigrant Gap to Blue Canyon and beyond prior to the Dutch Flat Donner Lake Wagon Road. I have checked with the CPRR Historical Group and plan to go to Bancroft Library in Berkeley - but was hoping your map had this information.

Other members have made similar comments. I hope we will see you Saturday for a discussion and vote on the proposed changes. The members will be able to suggest alternatives to put up for a vote.

The posted existing DSAA ByLaws are Articles of Incorporation (AoI); "bylaws" appears only in the last section (on amendments). Has there been an intermediate set of bylaws that bridges the gap between the AoI and the new proposal, or is the organization and title of the new proposal part of the set of "boilerplate" changes required by California law? 2. Hard-wiring the list of communities to be represented in DSAA may not be a good idea. 3. Is there no way to give the Board power to fill vacancies without taking voting powers away from the membership? 4. The size of the Board is variable; is there not enough flexibility within that range to accommodate the comings and goings of Board members between regular elections? 1.
