The President's Corner - July, 2026
Hello again fellow ski clubbers,
OOPS!! Was I ever wrong in last month’s newsletter as to a BCSC upcoming out west trip for next year. I didn’t check my emails before publishing. My how things change with plans, as quick as Michigan weather. Due to getting a later than usual start on gathering quotes, we were getting very high trip prices (in the $3,000.00 range), in addition to severe price penalties, if the trip didn’t get filled. We had to back away from the Snowmass idea.
Well, Cheryl Dedoes and Bill Cole said “we need an out west trip”! So, taking some personal initiative and stepping up. We are hoping that a out west trip to Mount Bachelor will be in the offering. Date of January 23-30, 2027. We are finalizing details as I‘m writing this. Pricing will be about $1,000.00 less than Snowmass was coming in at. Keep your fingers crossed as you enjoy the hot summer weather.
One way to enjoy the great summer weather is to join us at Kathy Rubino’s and Dave Dunlaps place on Long Lake on July11th for a paddle and brunch. In years past, weather has been perfect and the food has been scrumptious. So, If you haven’t been there in the past, please consider checking us out. Let Kathy know if you need a kayak, which might be arranged in advance. Details in this newsletter.
Keeping it short, I appreciate our BCSC Board, who work hard for all of you, to have great ski and outdoor experiences. Please consider volunteering in some way as we move forward.
Gerry Tillmann – BCSC President
