Greetings fellow ski clubbers,

Are you ready for this?  It’s September and time to roll out the fun adventures that await us this upcoming ski season.  Hard to think about winter when it’s 80 degrees out.  Well, we have some very talented people in the club who volunteer their time and organize and develop some fun trips for all our members.  See the rest of this newsletter for info on each trip.

​

Our first General Membership meeting of the ski season is September 10th.  We will be meeting again at Millers Time Out.  Kathy Rubino has organized some informational videos to help us condition and exercise, that help our muscles perform optimally as we hurtle our bodies down the slopes.  And,…All of the trips for 2025 will be previewed as well.  FYI,…The Big Sky, Montana trip, is almost full! Time is of the essence if you want to get on this trip!

​

There were a couple of get together opportunities this past summer for get togethers.  Many THANKS to Kathy Rubino and Dave Dulap for hosting the July kayak, paddle, and summer brunch.  What a fabulous day it was.  Smooth water, delicious delectable dishes, and fun friends.

​

Then, late summer paddling, camping weekend that Michele Mollard and partner Scott Filbrandt organized. I heard that spots were filling up fast for attendees up north in Scottville.  THANKS to Michele and Scott for organizing another fun event opportunity to get together.

​

The Board has had some interesting discussion the last couple of months as we explore ways to have trip attendees possibly enter a cash raffle for each trip.  More to follow as this develops.

​

On a sad note, for those of you who were unaware, one of the ski clubs early founding members and past president from 1964 -65, Jim Baum, age 87, passed away July 10th.  He was a big cheerleader for the BCSC Club and ran the Nubs Nob trip for quite a few years.  Jim was very civic minded and volunteered with many organizations throughout his adult life.  He also seemed to win quite frequently at the 50- 50 raffle we had at our General meetings.  He will be missed.

​

Okay,… that’s enough to get your interest going as we near another ski season. Hope to see many of you at Millers Time Out on September 10th

Ski Ya,

Gerry Tillmann – BCSC President
