CBIC Board News

At the December meeting of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club’s Board of Directors, Michael Cameron was appointed Director to fill an interim vacancy on the Board through April 2012.  Michael is general manager of Mont du Lac Recreation and comes with a tremendous amount of ski hill experience.  While not a traditional member of the Chester Bowl community, he has been a strong supporter of our ski program.  Mont du Lac Recreation provides a complimentary one-day ski pass for everyone with a Chester Bowl season pass, and they also generously provided a number of items for our Silent Auction in the fall.

The January CBIC Board meeting, which is open to the public, will be held in the chalet on Monday, January 3rd at 6.30pm.  Anyone sharing our interest in developing sustainable quality programs at Chester Bowl should consider attending.
