President Chance called our final meeting of the season to order at 10:30am at the Warsaw Legion Building.

The minutes from last month’s meeting were read and approved.

Treasurer Michelle Hess answered any questions regarding her report.

Gail Lawson commented on this year’s trail grant program and mentioned that we have additional work to do once funds are available for this.

We have purchased the Can Am tracked UTV and it is already being used which of course is why we bought it.

Jack Rase mentioned that we have turned in 365 sold NYSSA raffle tickets and we will be receiving $925. Thank you Jack for heading this up for us.

Jane and Tom Gebel have tickets for our September Raffle which is our largest fundraiser of the year. If would like tickets please call them at 585-786-2332. Thank you Tom and Jane for once again organizing this for OVSA.

Trail Coordinator Steve Cox updated us on our equipment at the end of the season. He also mentioned that our Dice Run next year is being planned and Raena at the Bliss Hotel is looking into an even bigger space to hold it.

President Chance held our first meeting of the season at his shop last August and the same idea for this coming season was proposed. Chance also fed everyone by doing a super job cooking on his grill for us. A proposal was made to include Zweigles white hots this time and it was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from all those present. President Chance does indeed have great taste and the date will be August 14th.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this past season a successful one with 33 days of trails open. We appreciated everyone’s help and support.

Also a big thank you to all who helped once again put on a great chicken barbeque for our landowners. Without them we wouldn’t have the best trails around WNY.
