Annual Meeting in April
Our membership has voted to have our
Annual Meeting in April at Duffy's Restaurant in Orland.
The date and time will be voted on at our March meeting.
The membership also voted for the cost of meals to be paid
for by the membership this year with the exception of our
President and the Member of the Year to be announced and
awarded at the meeting.
An Important message from our President
Until further
notice part of Trail 4 also known as the "in town trail" will be closed
this season. A Landowner requested that we not
access their land. This forces us to close Trail 4 from the pipeline
headed towards town to the power line by the Middle School. This
will not be an official Family Snowmobile Club trail, any access to this
trail is at your own risk, and will not be groomed or maintained. The
Power line and Pipeline are still open for snowmobile traffic. The
Club will be working a reroute for next season to still use part of this
trail. To access in town cross Silver Lake then take the power
line. Sorry for the inconvenience
Thanks
Chris MacLeod, President
