Thank you for another AWESOME year with the MASS program. The success of this very unique and rewarding program does not happen without your commitment. Please know that your participation does not go unnoticed. Our beloved program has continued to be an Institutional benchmark for the students of our community and is recognized through-out the Alpine/Cross Country community in the state of California. We are humbled and honored to part of such a special program.

As many of you know, we cannot continue with its success if we are unable to financially support the philosophy of which the school relies on, that is, that no student shall be denied the opportunity to experience the beauty and resources of our own back yard that is Badger Pass. Located in the gem of the National park system of Yosemite National Park.

Theresa Wilson, MASS Ski Instructor and the Bass Lake Realtor, has committed to run for the position of Honorary Mayor of Oakhurst! Theresa has decided to appoint the MASS program as her primary beneficiary of the funds raised in her efforts to be elected Mayor. Every dollar raised for a non-profit entity is considered a vote for the Mayorship. We continue to be blessed with the best our community has to offer and Theresa proves to be just that. We are blessed!

As the cost of insurance and residual expences increases {backround and Lifescan/fingerprinting cost}, so does our cost of operation. We have, and continue to have, relied on private and public donations to operate our special program to minimize the cost to the kids . We need your support to inhance the efforts of Theresas' campaign and to keep the cost to an affordable level for all.

Again, thank you for all you do! IT DOES NOT HAPPEN UNTIL "YOU" MAKE IT HAPPEN!

YOU ARE SPECIAL AND WE KNOW IT,

Matt

HOTLINE: 683-1430 2013 Schedule Last Day Mar 22

2013 NEW FEATURE! Live Badger Pass Cam! Updates every minute For a very minimal cost, over 200 Eastern Madera county children spend each Friday in the great outdoors. Their schools provide the transportation, Badger Pass provides their equipment (if they do not have their own) and parents and interested citizens volunteer their time to make a great program work! Want to instruct? Great skiing or snowboarding ability is NOT required. Many of our kids have either never been on skis or boards before, or are just getting started in the sport. If you are a responsible adult, and can be available at least 9 of approximately 12 Fridays during the ski season (starting in January), we can use your help! We will teach you how to teach them! For many of these 5th to 8th-graders, this will be their only opportunity to experience skiing or snowboarding. In the age of cable TV, Hi-speed Internet, cell phones and video games, the benefits of exposing children to wholesome outdoor activities such as this cannot be overstated. If you can possibly help, Please submit an application HERE, or contact Matt Casey, 658-8794, or Calvin Lyster: 683-5186. Thanks! Can't ski but want to help? MASS always needs volunteers to do such things as chaperone on the school bus, help with passing out and returning ski equipment, etc. While the kids ski, relax on the deck and enjoy the sunshine we usually have in the spring. Take a snowshoe tour, visit with old friends and make new ones! Contact the M.A.S.S. coordinator at your child's school, call us, or come on by any Friday at Badger Pass and see what we are up to on the slopes.
