CBIC Board of Directors Nominations

The Chester Bowl Improvement Club is currently looking for qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors.

The Board is responsible for the overall policy and management of the CBIC.  Directors must commit to attending a monthly board meeting – held the second Monday of each month at 6pm – for that purpose, but directors may count hours spent in Board meetings towards committed volunteer hours.  Anyone sharing an interest in supporting sustainable quality programs at Chester Bowl should apply.  Relevant knowledge, skills and experience in not-for-profit organizations, in general, and financial experience, in particular, would be a plus.

If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone you know to serve on CBIC’s board, or if you have any questions, please contact the Nominations committee via Nora Sandstad at 612-965-0749 or ncs@hanftlaw.com.

Cocoa and Chairlift with a counselor

Nothing says LOVE quite like Valentine’s Night at Chester Bowl!

Join Duluth City Councilors Emily Larson and Patrick Boyle, together with their families, for a night of fun at Chester. Emily is an At-Large Councilor who represents parks & rec. Patrick is this years’ Council President and represents District 2, which includes Upper Chester. Both Emily and Patrick are season pass holders of Chester’s ski hill.

If you have questions or concerns about the city, you’ll have a captive council audience! Here’s the schedule:

Date= Thursday February 14th

5:30-6:15 = Chairlift with a Councilor. The ride up the hill takes 2 minutes. Enough time to literally air your gripes. Ski or snowboard back down. Not a pass holder? No problem. Daily lift tickets run a cool $5.50.

6:16-8:30 = Cocoa with a Councilor. Hot issues on your mind? Join us in the chalet where we’ll be slinging healthy snacks like nachos & gummy bears, and washing it all down with some delicious cocoa. Priced right, with snacks ranging from $.25 all the way up to a steep $1.50.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Emily & Patrick

Another plea for concession volunteers.

We have a dilemma at Chester Bowl.
For whatever reason, not enough people are not signing up to volunteer in the concession stand this winter. This has never happened to this extent before. Several days in February have no one signed up.

Without concession volunteers, we can’t really run the ski hill. There will be no food for skiers or ski cadets. Plus, no adults to monitor the chalet activities.

I know many of you have already done your volunteer commitments, but please consider doing a little more. Over February’s winter break, we have a period of 12 days in a row when the chairlift is open, and many days need volunteers. In addition, the end of the month has several days with no volunteers.

Please open up the Jooners link below, and sign up now.
