This is Rosemarie Spaulding.  A special vote from the club members was done to install her for one month.  Then at the last meeting of our season when elections are done for all officers as stated in our by-laws we can renew her title for a year at that time.

Trail Master Joe Marcoux Report, erm@myfairpoint.net

• August 18th – Carl and I moved rocks on the Tim Pond trail and the Sawyer Brook trail.
• August 30th – Carl and I worked on the pole line and powerline moving rocks and worked on drainage with some holes on these trails.
• On Monday, Septemeber 12th we will meet again with the officers of the Snowmobile club and the ATV officers. We are still talking and working on ideas that will work for both of clubs to benefit better trails…
• Jimmy Brochu has put up gates on the snowmobile trail behind his gas station that connects to the powerline.   Because ATV riders are using it and are not reading the NO ATV signs per landowner.  That trail is only for snowmobiling.
• We have an Associate trail master now name is Shane Spaulding his main work will be signage and brushing around the sign areas.  Also will help me on projects and when I am away from my camp he will check out question and problem in my absent.
• We need trailers or one large (long) one to haul our equipment around. Was motion and approved for Joe to check out trailers and get prices for the final meeting.

Thank You, Elaine
