Donations

2010 - 2011

To a degree, the club has become self-sufficient in offering grant money to students who could not afford go without help. We have been able to do this in two ways. The helmet fees go to a general club fund / grant fund. In addition, the club receives one free chaperone ticket for every ten students who ski / snowboard. The emergency chaperone driver is given a free lift ticket. All other chaperones What chaperon

Rhonda and Lander Cook, guest club members, donated a helmet to the club. Thanks ladies!

With the financial assistance of The Community Foundation and a twenty percent discount from Boyne Country Sports, Petosky the club was able to purchase equipment to wax skis and snowboards as well as sharpen edges. The club will be able to wax and tune boards and skis in the convenience of our own town as well as provide discounts to club members and their families. Proceeds will go back into the club, allowing us to buy more wax, and help students in need pay for their lift tickets and transportation.
