The trails are open!
225 club ticket sales are going slow. Half the tickets still remain to be sold. Its very important we sell every ticket this year, because the money raised is going into our Excavator fund for future payment. If you haven't received a packet yet to sell, or would like to purchase a ticket, please contact Brad Hilton at 315-298-3261

Next Meeting
Our next meeting is October 15th at 11 am at the Salmon
River Inn in Altmar.
"EVENT CORRECTION"
I would like to make a correction to our
last newsletter. The All You Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner
sponsored by the Townhouse Restaurant is on Wednesday
"October 5, 2005" from
5 to 7 pm, not on October 6th as I stated in our last
newsletter. My apologies for this error. Hope to see
a good turn out.
President's Note
At our September 17th meeting our Club unanimously
voted to buy the Trail Truck for work and maintenance
on our trails. This truck will be a tremendous asset
to the club and trail workers. The club is buying
this truck in three installments, the first one being
a substantial down payment to hold the truck for us
at the current price, to be delivered in April 2006.
At that time we will need to make the second payment.
This down payment will deplete our funds considerably
so we really need your support to build these funds
back up again. The two raffle tickets that are enclosed
to every member will help us do that, so
"PLEASE"
BUY or SELL these two tickets and return
the stubs and money in the self-addressed envelopes
enclosed no later than April 1, 2006. All checks should
be made payable to the club. If you cannot buy or
sell these two tickets,
PLEASE return
them in the enclosed envelope so we can sell them
to someone else.
We are asking for your help in
selling all these tickets. This is one way ALL members
can help the club. These trails belong
to all of us so lets all do our part. Of course, all
Dues, and Donations from our Sponsors will also help
tremendously. Anyone wanting more tickets to sell,
please contact Don or Nancie Hildreth at 298-4267.
News
Ken Sweeting of K & S Tires, Williamstown, NY
has donated a 45' tractor trailer bed to the club
for the purpose of housing this new truck. This is
a $500.00 donation folks! There is lots of room to
store the Trail Truck plus a lot more items under
lock & key. We are going to set this up on our
newly acquired lot on County Route 22 in Altmar along
with our other small storage building.
This will be my last newsletter. I have done them
for over three years and with all the Treasurers duties
along with the membership, I really need to have someone
else take over the newsletter. Nancie Hildreth has
agreed to do this for us next year and was accepted
by the general membership at our last meeting.
October 15th will be our last general meeting for
this year and this will be our last newsletter for
this year. We will continue to have our Board Meetings
every month and if anything urgent comes up that we
need to tell the membership, we will do a newsletter.
Many thanks to all the good members who work so hard
all year for the club. We should all be proud that
this is the biggest club in NYS and we have had many
compliments on out trails. Have a nice winter and
see you all in the spring!
West Extension Members
Our last meeting this year will be October 11th at
the I.O.O.B. Club on Co. Rt. 3 at 7:00 pm.
We would like to give a big thanks to Dick Lukenheimer
and his family for hosting our first cook out/campout
and hope to have it become an annual event. We had
a good turn out and the weather was great. Thanks
to all who participated. Have a great Fall and Winter
and we'll see you in the Spring!
