Well April is bringing us warm and wet days. Great for those of us that need grass for the critters or those folks that the well was running a little low last year. We are seeing a few more ATVers out and about these days. Kirkwood and Big Canyon are getting seen a lot. Thanks to Bud’s Saw Shop for helping out the OHVers.
Now down to the meeting. Starting right off with the Sticker information from Kathy and Roger Brown. 250 stickers would be $1.91 each, 500 stickers would average out $1.09 each our cost. Voted and passed to have Roger and Kathy get a sample sticker for the next meeting to see what it will look like with our logo. We voted and passed if we like them to order 500. This will be how it will work: For next year if you pay your dues by Feb. you will receive one for free. After that if you want one they will cost $2.00 per sticker. You can purchase them at any time. (We are still in the finalizing stage of things. They have NOT been ordered yet.)
Saw Class will be May 4th 9:00. Following people will be taking the class. Please bring your own saw, chaps, eye protection, and hard hat. Ken W. Dean H, Nick C, Del H., Rick L., Don E., Ed P., Bill S., Steve D.,
