Vice President’s Report:  Absent

Membership Secretary: Ruthann Smith dooer@roadrunner.com

  • ·At this time we have 210 paid members. I am seeing that there is some confusion about the Associate Memberships. If you belong to another club, they are your PRIMARY. If you also want to support our club you may do so with an Associate Membership at a reduced cost. ATV Maine is the reason for this distinction, your Primary Club pays for your membership with them.
    ·Another issue for discussion is that we need to reorder our stickers, I am now looking into it.
    ·I am happy to report that I was able to deposit $73.35 from Eclectic Treasures sales in the 1st 5 days we were open. I very much appreciate all the donations we received a few weeks ago. I`m sure we will add some nice figures to the club treasury as the season moves along.

  • ·As of June 10th the check book balance is good.
    ·We voted to donate $100 to FABA for family fun days.
  • ·We have to pay ATV Maine $230 for members. We need to pay for T-shirts $120.We reimbursted Dick $ 310.
  • ·This years trail grant money will most likely be used to help the snowmobile club replank the Brochu Bridge which is in bad need of repair.
  • ·So far this year, we have spent $ 3895 on trail repairs.
    ·With the clubs help I was able to raise $ 5500 for the Tour de Cure bike ride. Thanks to all.
