OLD BUSINESS
Discussion was held on the trails and trespassing issues. We as club members need to be proactive about staying on trails. Any private trails need to be marked, so others don’t follow tracks. The trails need to be marked like you don’t live here and are familiar with the area.
NEW BUSINESS
Steve Pate stated that there is room for 20 more plaques at our Memorial Park in Portage. The plaques cost $50 each and has room for about 100 words. Discussion was held about CCASC purchasing a few plaques before September 2013 when we will try to hold a dedication for Harold LaJune.
MMSP to approve County Map price of $100 for 2 years per space.
Al Kaltenberg was appointed for 1 more year as our County Liaison. He will train and work with someone new the following year.
