PRESIDENTS NOTE
I would like to send a special Thank you to the DEC Hatchery division and to Fran Verdoliva for inviting us to the Open House at the Salmon River

It was very successful and helpful in working with the DEC on trying to get trails. Thank you all very much See you next year! STEVE

CLUB NEWS-LETTER

for 5.99
$$$ 50-50 for $73.50 was won by Claudia Gamble who donated it all back to the club! Thanks Claudia!

The club voted on making Gene
Haywood, an honorary lifetime member. Gene lives across from our club and always keeps an eye out and informs us on any goings on at the club property.
All were in favor! Thanks Gene!
**************************
The Administration discussed not opening the trails so early next year (If need) no event ride before June.
We had a very rainy spring this year! The end result was a whole lot of extra work for our limited number of volunteers!
THE EXECUTIVES HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLOSE THE TRAILS AT A MOMENTS NOTICE
September 24th our Chicken BBQ at Little Lukey's was a great turnout!
A group with 23 machines was on hand to go on a long ride after the BBQ. It was a beautiful day we all enjoyed it so much. We got muddy some of
us, laughed a lot too.
The scenery was beautiful as were the fall colors! We had one of our sponsors and his wife come on the ride and they could not tell us enough
how much they enjoyed the ride and the people!
Next year our club wants to have a special ride for the disabled, elderly and children under 14. The fire company said they would have a unit on hand
as well!
Can we ever say enough to (Thank) all the volunteers that work so hard to make this club a success! We can't thank them enough! (What
we can do is, say to ourselves) did I do my part in some way to help out where it was needed! After all I reap the benefits of this wonderful
club and enjoy the trails as much as those volunteers. Perhaps next year if you have never volunteered at all, you will reconsider lending a
hand especially to our older volunteers! Thank you!
