CLUB NEWLETTER 2007-2008 Season:

Welcome from the President

It's that time of the year that we all look forward to again, fall is here and that means snow is just around the corner. We have some new problems on our trail system that the club officers are trying to work out. We have lost several sections of our trail due to various problems and we are trying to work on re-routing some of the system. If and when we get these problems resolved, it will involve a lot of work and we will need help from all club members and your snowmobiling friends. We can't do this alone, we will need your help so be sure to attend the club meeting to get the latest information. If this is not possible, please give one of the officers a call to let them know you can help. We look forward to a great year for the club and your snowmobiling enjoyment.

Please join the club and get involved. Encourage your non-member friends to join and get involved. The club needs the support of all local snowmobiles to be able to provide enjoyable snowmobiling close to home. Don't assume that someone else will do all the work. Most riders (and possibly some club members) do not understand that the DNR only gives monetary support for supplies and equipment. The DNR does not pay - nor do they supply the labor involved - for trail setup, marking, grooming, and maintenance. The club membership provides all the labor without pay. Groomer operator volunteers work many nights while they could be enjoying the fresh snow on their sleds, but are instead running the groomers so the rest of us have great smooth trails. Please keep this in mind when the trails get rough, or we lose trails. If you would like to be involved or help with any of the club's activities, please call the respective chair person and any club officer to help out.

Thank you all for your past support, and I look forward to seeing you at the club meetings this year, and on the trails as we get into the snow season!
