3. Trail Report: There are several areas we are addressing with
the Town of Wescott, Town of Washington, and the Cecil and Shawano
clubs. Expect to hear from us in a separate update as to the final
changes and details while we will also post on the website. HUGE
thank you to Dan and Marjean Hedrich and Roger and Vicki Schmidt
for all of their work on the 22nd in cleaning and repairing our
trail signs as well as placement. For those that attended the
Saturday meeting (rainstorm), we very much appreciated not having
to be outside for this task. We will have a couple more days where
we may still need to remove some trees and place the larger signs
as the season approaches. We will update accordingly and ask for
volunteers to assist. Another thank you goes out to the crew that
worked in October removing trees and brush as well as mowing our
entire trail. The LLCK now owns our own mower while we pay the
LLPOA for use of their tractor to pull. We are again completing
a contract with Brunner Farm Services to groom our trail for the
season.
4. AWSC update: The AWSC did not pass the CAP/STEP initiative
for this upcoming season. With that decision, we have carefully
assessed the cost/benefits of having $10 of our $20 membership
fee apply to the AWSC and do not feel this is in the best interest
of our club membership for this season. We will continue to monitor
and determine our direction for 2011/2012. We have our own insurance
policy and are self-funded. At this time, we will use the membership
fee and trail donations toward improvements, additional signage,
and grooming.
5. Sponsorship: We are in the process of finalizing our sponsors
for ths season and will then complete our sponsor cards and raffle
tickets. Thanks for taking the lead on this Rob--- to the other
board members -- thank you as well as this is a signficant fund
raiser for us and the support of our sponsors is a major contibutor
to our success.
6. Membership dues: We will be mailing out membership renewal
forms this week. Thank you in advance for your quick response
and any additional trail donations.
7. Trail rides: Many members have expressed an interest in being
able to reach out to other members to organize rides together.
The best means to accommodate that may be to save one of these
group emails and reply all when you know you want to ride and
ask others to respond to you if they are interested in meeting.
Another option would be to post our roster on our website or I
can email, however, not all members may want their information
shared. Based on our conversation at the meeting, perhaps the
group email option is the best means at this time. Interested
in your further feedback and willing to accommodate what the majority
feels is best.
8. Next meeting: Novermber 13th at 10:00am at the Legend Lake
Lodge. Potential to finish signage on the trails following.
9. Poker run: February 12th while this will run for two weeks
again to allow members time to visit our sponsors and to accommodate
members that are not in the area at all times.
10. End of the season sponsorship drawing: March 5th
