September 2024 Newsletter

Our next meeting will be this Wednesday October 2nd 6pm at the Sportsmens Club.

The following are notes from the last meeting August 21st at President Chance’s home base.

President Chance called the meeting to order at 6:54pm and currently we have 35 members registered for the upcoming season.

Chance read the minutes from last May’s meeting and they were approved.

We have decided to hold our meetings on Wednesday nights 6pm at the Silver Lake Sportsmens Club to allow members more flexibility for attending. Food can also be ordered at the same time too. The Club always does a fine job with that.

Treasurer Michelle Hess answered questions on the financials for our members.

Jane Gebel spoke about our upcoming September Raffle and tickets needing to be turned in.

Todd H. said our JD groomer has taken up residence at his shop and is being worked on Our NH groomer will be brought to Chance’s shop for frame repair work.

Our old trail drag we weren’t using was sold to a club in Lake Placid.

A number of trail, bridge and culvert projects have been completed so please make a plan for any work details that need to be done.

September 28th will be our antique sled show at the Charcoal Corral. The Krooked Ski Club will be sponsoring it.

Chance spoke about the NYS Parks Phase 2 grant and working with Gail on that. These reports are vital and timely.

We spoke about putting on a pancake breakfast this December for our landowners and also selling tickets to the public. More details and discussion will follow at our October meeting. A possible location might be the Perry FD hall in the village park. We will be gathering information on the logistics of holding an event like this.

Our annual Safety Course is scheduled to be held in December at the Warsaw FD, date TBD. A big thank you to our instructors.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:50pm and we want to thank Chance for hosting and feeding us. Many of us feel that a meet and eat should be a more regular occurrence at Chance’s.

Thanks for all our members help and see you soon.
