Pat is the club contact for the County and he needs a backup. Does anyone want to volunteer?

AWSC News
The AWSC dues will be increasing from $10 to $12. Do we want to raise our dues to
compensate for the increase? Motion was made to keep the dues the same for now. Greg/John
Old Business
Landowner gift certificates are good through the end of May. We need to get the gift
certificates that have been redeemed picked up and paid for. Tami and Nicole will take care of doing that.
Trail Report
A huge thank you to all who have had a hand in trail maintenance this season.
Markers can be removed as soon as conditions allow. Please remember to record your time in SNARS. All hours NEED to be reported by April 15 th .
Just an FYI for next year's marking please make sure the trails are wide enough. There were a couple of places where they were too close together. We need to make sure the groomer can get through.
We discussed doing trail re-routes at Silver Creek Rd and also South of HWY 23.
The new bridge construction at Hwy FF starts this summer and should be done by next season.
Please make sure you know who your landowners are and if a contact changes please let Tami know so that she can update the spreadsheet.

Grooming Committee Report
Tucker storage and maintenance – the tucker is outside right now at Pat's shop. It would be nice
if we had a covered area where it could go that is also easy to work on it if needed. We
discussed using a carport type thing like you get at Menards. We just need to measure to see if
something like that will work. Otherwise if anyone has a place inside that it can be stored or any
ideas, please get in touch with Pat.
New Business
Website – Terry has done a great job with our website this year. A motion was made to send
Terry $100. Thanks Terry!! Dennis/Glenn
A motion was made to give the Auditor a $50 Ripon Chamber Gift Certificate for doing our audit
free of charge. Mindy will pick up the certificate and drop it off at the Auditors business.
Dana/Hunter G. 1 opposed
Membership Dues – Should we discontinue the Landowners getting their membership dues paid
for and give them an extra gift certificate? We discussed and decided that we are going to keep
it the way it is. Tami will send out a card in the summer to renew memberships with a box to
check if you are a landowner and hopefully that will make sure we catch all landowners.
A Huge Thank You to all of the 2018-2019 officers!
