April 2010 meeting notes

A motion was made and accepted to have the Treasurer's report reviewed by a general member (non-officer) of the club on a monthly basis. Dan Barry stepped up and accepted this responsibility. Dan is an insurance salesman and is very good with figures. His role will be to insure that the treasures report is correct and up to date.
    ~ Thanks Dan!

The officers and attending members agreed to continue the annual donations to the clubs that maintain the trails we ride. This year it looks like funds will go to West Rome Riders, Penn Mountain, Southern Tug Hill and Trackside Blazers.

The date for our annual BBQ at the Rondout Valley Resort has been set for 9/11/10. We will start at 1pm and introduce the newly elected officers at this MEETING. BYOB and a dish to share.

There is a Wilton Maine trip offered to us and hosted by theLong Island Sno Seekers for the next season's Presidents day weekend (2011) A Maine trail permit (get info HERE) will be required. Interested parties should be present at the NEXT club MEETING which is the 9/11 BBQ for more information.

It was also discussed and agreed that a Facebook page should be created to help generate interest in our club and our sport. This FREE page will allow us to cut some of the maintenance expense of our website, http://www.tawaeri.com, which still exists and hopefully, draw more members.. If you are already on Facebook, you can search for Tawaeri Trailblazer Snowmobile club to view the page (or click the link above). If you are not on facebook yet, check it out!

A reminder went out to all attendees regarding the state proposal to redirect $1 million dollars from the trail fund each year for the next 5 years-yep that's $5 million dollars! We are urging all members to visit the NYSSA website, download the letters, fill in the blanks, print it out in word or pdf format and let your voice be heard! NYSSA Website

Have a great off season and we look forward to seeing you at the BBQ on September 11th!

T.T.T.


Important note regarding the Beeches trip, Feb 26-28:

As of now, all trails are open in Onieda County and snow is forecast every day the rest of the week, so hopefully we will have excellent conditions for this weekend. Accuweather has predicted 10"-22" by Friday for Rome with the bulk of it on Thursday. Hope to see everyone there!
