Do we need another safety course? If you’re interested, contact Sue.
Also from Eric - the trail signage is still OK. On the railroad tracks from Campbell Hall, there are metal rails in the trails. Be careful – from the barricade to Eric’s house, there are three places where these rails cross the trails.

If you have any raffle tickets that you’ve sold, be sure to get them to Rick. There’s only three weeks left to sell tickets, and we have a lot to sell. All tickets are due to Rick by the holiday party.
And from the rest of the meetingThe annual SPARC dinner went really well. The SnoRiders were recognized by SPARC, which is a good show of our relationship with them.
From our tireless NYSSA Rep, Mike FlorkowskiSnowtrails TV is highlighting snowmobiling in New York State. According to NYSSA, there are 10,556 miles of funded trails in New York. 5,000 are not yet mapped. NYSSA is pushing the GPS mapping, but know that the trails on the websites may not be current. There’s also a lot of questions about the trails in Old Forge and the private vs. public trails. NYSSA is investigating the “permit only” trails conflict – more to come. The NYSSA Super Raffle is going on. Sue has tickets if you’re interested. The club keeps half the money on every ticket sold.
And lastly, but definitely not “leastly”There will be a charity poker run in Schroon Lake on February 18, 2011, with the money going to a needy family. A party will be held after the poker run. We need raffle prizes for this event! Check out the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce website for accommodations. Sue is coordinating this event, so please let her know if you have any questions, or can attend.

NYSSA
We need a new NYSSA representative. The NYSSA Rep will need to attend meetings four times a year in Syracuse, and you’ll be reimbursed for gas. It’s very important that we’re represented at NYSSA, as the upstate clubs don’t consider us to be a “real” club. Anyone interested should contact Eric.
Also worth noting: Active members of the military will have free NYSSA and club membership.

Hey Sno Riders!
The new season is about to begin. Our first meeting for the season will be Wednesday, September 15th at 7:30 pm at Sculley's Tavern. We're looking forward to another season with you!
Our annual raffle will kick off shortly. This year we'll be doing the raffle a little differently. As per the vote at the April meeting, the raffle prize will be cash, instead of a snowmobile. First prize will be $2,500, second prize is $500 and third prize is $300. Each ticket will cost $5.00, and each club member will be given four tickets to sell. The raffle drawing will take place at the Christmas party, and the grand prize ticket will be drawn first. Tickets will be available soon.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and see you on the 15th!
