Last year, some of Bakersfield<strong>Ski</strong> Club members gathered to discuss what to do with the money left in the treasury. Ten previousclub members were located and participated in the ensuing vote.It was decided to donate $1,465.75 to Small Miracles, a foundation that helps fill the needs of cancerstricken children and the needs of their families. An additional check in the amount of $1,465.76 wasdonated to Eastern Sierra Disabled Sports. Volunteers teach disabled people of all ages to ski and boardat Mammoth Mountain. Two great organizations doing a world of good were able to benefit from thegenerosity of these few remaining club members.While they miss their ski club, these remaining members feel honored to be able to donate theirclub money to such worthwhile organizations. Both organizations have websites for more information.<strong>Far</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>Ski</strong>er’s Guide 2O12 - 2O13 69
