Well, that was fast!!! I’m talking about summer speeding by. Hope everyone had a great one and now we can start thinking
about the winter ahead and snowmobiling!!!
Election of officers was held
in June. Again this year, Kirk
Ellis will serve as President, Clark Allen as Vice-President, club secretary as
Secretary/Treasurer.
A few of our members
have been working very hard this summer building the Magalloway River Bridge.
The bridge will finally be a reality and a big improvement to the
Rangeley trail system. Again, Clark
Allen has outdone himself on this project.
A complete report on the building of the bridge will be included with the
October newsletter and volunteers will be publicly acknowledged.
More help is needed and would be certainly appreciated to complete
the project. There
is still plenty of work to be done. If
you can donate a day, a half-day or a few hours of your time, please call Clark
at 207-864-2039 for a schedule of work dates coming up. This bridge has been a
huge undertaking and has been in the planning stages for several years.
We need to name this bridge - any ideas?
Let us know. Thanks to
everyone who has donated time to work with Clark on this to date.
Enclosed in this envelope you
will find your membership renewal form (or download
the one on-line if you need to). You
can use the back side of the form to renew your membership with the same
information as last year, or if you wish to make any changes, use the form on
the front side. We are hoping to
achieve the #1 status in the State of Maine for memberships again this season.
Also enclosed is a form for our Easy Bucks
drawing. Please consider this
opportunity to win some cash at our membership meetings.
You don’t need to be present to win and the proceeds from the entries
go directly into our grooming fund. Other
information enclosed is an explanation of the
MSA insurance every member receives with their membership.
You can also insure your dependents for only $2 each.
Also enclosed is a tentative calendar of events for the upcoming season.
Members will be notified of any changes in this calendar.
You will also find 10 Super Raffle Tickets in your packet.
We are hoping that each member will either buy or sell 10 tickets.
The RLSC receives $1 for each ticket sold and the MSA awards the club
with the most sales with cash prizes. First
place prize is $500. We sure would
like to receive this prize this year. Last
year the RLSC received the third place prize.
Let’s try to be #1 in sales this year!!!!
New maps are being printed this
year. Again, they will be sold for
$5 and you may receive one by ordering through the club or you may purchase a
map at local businesses in the Rangeley area.
We will have a booth at the
Augusta Civic Center during the annual Snowmobile Show on October 5h,
6th and 7th. The
club would appreciate volunteers to man the booth.
If you are interested please let us know. Hope to see you there!
We will also be at the 2001 Snowmobile Expo at the Big “E”
Fairgrounds in Springfield,
Massachusetts on October 19, 20, 21.
In the past, the MSA has
received $8 for each member in the Club. This
year, MSA increased the dues to $10. The
Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club did not increase membership dues to cover the
additional $2 per member that we must send MSA.
It sure would be appreciated if our members would voluntarily send in an
extra $2 with their membership. This
additional fee by MSA will cost the club approximately $600.
That’s $600 that could be spent on grooming our trails.
We
hope to see everyone at our First Annual Swap Meet and Antique Snowmobile Show
on September 8th. We
are planning to make this an annual event to kick off the start of the season.
September is beautiful in Rangeley, come on up and visit us!!!
Check
our web page regularly to see items added between newsletters.
As soon as we have all the pictures from the bridge building, we will
display them on the page along with names of volunteers and other information.
Until
next month…….. (it’s too early to say “think snow”, but do it
anyway!!!)
Please
visit our Sponsors page to check out businesses who have donated
or pledged to donate to our grooming and
trail maintenance program for this season.
