nd

our Industry Partners. There will be a flat rate

Nov 7 - BAC’s Second Annual Hockey Game –
San Jose Sharks vs Anaheim Ducks. This
event has been organized by Dennis Heffley.
Purchase tickets by Oct 1, make check payable
to BAC, or use PayPal on the website. The
game is at 7:30 p.m. Meet at Brittania Arms,
nearby, for a pre-game stretch and then a walk to
the Shark Tank. Flyers are available. This event
benefits the Far West Ski Foundation, a tax deductible organization that provides scholarships
to ski racers, and also supports the “fly girls” and
organizations such as the Vail Handicapped program. A specific ski racer can be named to receive funds, but that ski racer must also apply
and be accepted to be part of the Foundation
program.
SnowBomb Shows – Club tri-folds should be in
preparation so clubs can be represented at these
Shows. Give them to BAC for the booth or take
them to the SnowBomb shows to work the BAC
booth. Tri-folds market your club and are given
to visitors who live or work in your club’s area.
Golf at Pebble Beach – Thursday, Nov 5 - Sign
up for golf at the Peter Hay course. Cost is $30

seconded by Igor Goulaevsky. The minutes were
unanimously approved.

Awards of 2015.
Website: Cathy Wilson – Cathy will revamp the
club section of the website (www.skibac.org).

receive Yahoo group emails.
Benefits: Sandy Kiyomura – Unable to attend
this meeting.
Communities: Harry Davis – Harry thanked all
those who attended the A’s game, and also those
who purchased raffle tickets to benefit DSUSA/

items.

Nancy Greene’s Cahilty Lodge, at an elevation of
4000’. The top mountain elevation is 7000’.
There are 4270 skiable acres, on three separate

discount. The cost of $1285 includes RT air, 6
nights lodging, welcome, ground transportation,
and a daily hot breakfast. Options on the Sports

senior discount if over 65, etc. Check the website for all options and to pay for your ski fun.
