Welcome
Greetings,
My name is James Bumpers, and I am the President of the Eagan/Eastview Alpine Ski Booster Club. For those of you who are new to the team, welcome! The booster club serves to enhance the experience of our skiers throughout the ski season. As a booster club, we assist financially with the many expenses the team incurs throughout the season, such as coaching salaries and equipment, and we help organize a number of team activities.
It is the Booster Club’s goal to create a fun and special season for each of our skiers. To do that, we need help from everyone. As we move towards the 2023-2024 ski season, I am asking for two things from each of you. First, is your time. The second is your financial support.
From a time perspective, there are many ways that each and every one of you can help:
· Every JV and Varsity race needs gate judges. Without them, the races can’t run.
· Help setting up and tearing down the team tent at the invitationals and section races
· Volunteer to bring food and/or drink for our invitationals and section races
· Take pictures of the skiers on the race course during conference races
· Host a team gathering in your home
From a cost perspective, we are asking this year for a booster club contribution of $300 per skier. These fees cover many items, including:
· Invitational costs
· Repairing/Replacing critical team equipment, like gates and tents
· Any incidental/additional fees
· Additional coaching
· Food at team events
You can submit your contribution via the PayPal link on this website.
Finally, all parents are strongly encouraged to attend the monthly booster club meetings. Meetings are typically the first Tuesday evening of every month from December to March, alternating locations between Eagan and Eastview. Specific location details can be found on the team calendar for each month’s meeting.
Again, welcome to the 2023-2024 ski season. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I look forward to meeting all of you throughout the season.
James Bumpers
Eagan/Eastview Alpine Ski Booster Club President
