SOCIAL TIMES

Los Amigos Ski, Travel and Social Club (LASTC) has been the premier Ski Club in South Central Texas for over 50 years and is an affiliate of the Texas Ski Council (TSC) and the National Ski Council Federation (NSCF). Our members include skiers and snowboarders of all abilities and non-skiers who love travel and adventure. Our club boasts a diverse membership of over 260, including individuals, couples, and families. What bonds us is our appreciation of time in the company of others who enjoy similar activities- from downhill slopes on powder runs, to beaches and diving, river cruises offering vineyard tours and pasta making classes, and interest groups that include cycling, hiking, dinner, brunch, craft beers, and much more.

Dear Amigos,

We're excited to propose a day trip for late spring (Friday, April 11, 2025) that combines Old World charm with Texas heritage! 🌟 The planned journey will start at 8 AM with a return to San Antonio by 7 PM. Our destinations will immerse us in Czech and German architecture and cultural landmarks:

⛪ The Painted Churches of Schulenburg - Often called "Texas' European treasures," these Painted Churches Tour showcase the stunning craftsmanship of 19th-century Czech and German immigrants. For those who have admired European cathedral architecture firsthand, these hidden gems offer a fascinating glimpse of how Old World artistry took root in Texas soil.

🍺 The Spoetzl Brewery - Home of the iconic Shiner Beer, this historic brewery has been crafting authentic German-style beverages since 1909. The Signature Brewery Tour offers insight into both traditional brewing methods and modern production techniques.

As an added bonus, our April timing may treat us to views of Texas bluebonnets along our route, adding natural beauty to our cultural exploration. The full-day itinerary includes comfortable transportation from San Antonio, a guided tour of four Painted Churches, a brewery tour, and lunch at Tillie's Cafe

💰 All-Inclusive Package Pricing:

15 participants: (Estimate) $178-$190

Package includes: CharterUp transportation, Schulenburg expert guide for the Painted Churches tour, and fees for the Painted Churches and brewery tours.
Lunch at Tillie's Cafe is not included.

Please respond to the poll by November 4, so the board can assess if there is enough interest in this activity to warrant continued planning. 🚐✨ Poll insights will be shared at the Membership Meeting.
