our meeting. We also acknowledge other sponsors who were in attendance.

Saturday's meeting, 101 members in attendance. Great turn out for elections!
The election was unanimous for the existing officers! Congratulations! It would
be awesome to have half that amount show up to help out with events or work details.
But we will take what we get and we appreciate all those
who continue to work in making this a great organization to belong to!
50-50 for $ 110 was won by Joe Hanreck and Raymond Stoutenger who donated back

President's News
**************************
Many thanks to all who helped get the Barclay trail done! It would not have
been ready for the "opening ceremony" with out a special group of people (they know
who they are.) Nice job all! The trail looks great and will be an added addition
to our all ready great trail system.
BARCLAY TRAIL
A big Thank You goes to all who arrived and braved the nasty weather for the
ribbon cutting ceremony for the Barclay Trail. There were many area politicians
and dignitaries on hand. Arthur Osphelt Oswego Co. Legislature started the ceremony
with a few words and introduced Doug Barclay, his son Will and his family, who had
the honor of cutting the ribbon.
After the ceremony 45 ATV's rode on the Barclay trail (including all the Barclays)
to KasoagLakePark. After arriving at KasoagLakePark, the owners had refreshments
waiting along with a beautiful and I might add tasty cake, welcoming the OswegoCountyATV
Club.
Now that's how you enjoy the great out doors!
Thanks to another generous Land owner!!!
BARCLAY TRAIL CLOSED MONTH OF MAY FOR TURKEY HUNTING!
WORK DETAILS
The club is looking for another Trail Boss to run work detail. Contact T.C.
Brad Hilton.
