The AWSC workshop was in LaCrosse this year at the Lacrosse Convention center. No one from our club attended the convention.
AWSC raffle tickets are available. A motion was made to buy a ticket at the County meeting Pat/Randy. If anyone attends the next County meeting, please buy the ticket and you will get reimbursed.
Scholarship applications will be available on November 1st and need to be returned by November 31st. Please visit the AWSC website and check it out if you have a child/grandchild heading to college.

Trail Report
Some members have noticed while driving by their sections that there are some boxes being put in the middle of our trails in the ditch areas. Please check your routes for any of these boxes in case we need to re-route.
New signs are in! Thank you to Randy for all of your hard work.

Old Business
Groomer status: The groomer has been painted and needs to be picked up. Evan will check into transporting the groomer back to Pat's shop. Thank you to Kevin at RTR for donating over half of the cost of the painting and the repairs! If you see him, please Thank him.

We will need to schedule a Saturday to get everything that was taken off for the painting back onto the groomer. Once we get a day set up, please give Pat at least a day's notice so that he can get a bay in the shop cleaned out to work. It looks like the tentative date will be Saturday, November 18th in the morning. An email will go out to the members to see if anyone would like to help get it put back together.

Landowner Gift Certificates: All of the restaurants on the Gift Certificates are a go for another year so we are keeping the certificates the same as last year. If you have old certificates, please black out the expiration date before you give them to the landowners. Basically, these will not
expire. We want to keep our landowners happy and if they use the certificates, that's what we want. Let Evan know if you need any certificates.

New Business
Welcome our new member, Tim.

Website: Our website needs to be renewed. We discussed if we think our website was useful, what is the usage and should we renew? A motion was made to renew it but after some additional discussion we decided to table this motion because we would like to see how much traffic the website is actually getting. The motion is that if traffic on the website is less than 50 hits in the winter, we will not renew.

If it is greater than 50 hits, we will ask Terry if we can do a 1 year renewal instead of paying for a 3 or 5 year renewal. Tim/John
Evan will send an email to Terry to ask if we can get that usage breakdown.

Dickens of a Christmas: Rusty volunteered to oversee the drag in the Dickens parade again this year since everyone who did it last year had such a good time. The parade will be on Friday, December 1st and they will be lining up on Ransom Street between 5-6pm. If you would like to participate, please come at that time and you can walk in the parade.

Fundraising: Please bring any ideas for raffles and/or ways to fundraise to the next meeting. We do have Thursday night of the Green Lake fair already booked for us and possible Friday.

We talked about buying pull tabs and Tami will look into that to see what the cost is and how much we could earn. If you have any other ideas, please present them and we can see if it is something we can do to raise money for the club.

Comments/Questions/Adjournment:

Next meeting will be Thursday, December 7th at 7 p.m. at Tigers.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:45 pm Dave/Mindy
Thank you to Tigers for hosting the November meeting
