OLD BUSINESS- Gregg priced out a good size ad in the newspaper- it would be roughly $700. Group decided it wasn’t worth it and to keep getting the word out via website, Facebook and posters at area pit stops. There is also a good article in the Snowgoer magazine on memberships. Reminder to make sure to get memberships turned into AWSC promptly.
Map ad sales are going good. There are not many spots left on the map. Peggy will send an email out with the final deadline date. Last time we ordered 10,000 maps for about $5800. Peggy is in contact with Kramer regarding changes to the map.
NEW BUSINESS- Portage will be having a safety class the first and second weeks in December. It will be held at the Rod and Gun Club in Portage. Yellow Thunder will be having a class on the first and second Tuesday and Thursday in December with the final class being held on the following Saturday. Sign up as soon as possible as class size is limited. Class will be held at the EMS building in Lodi.
Christmas party will be held at Johnson Sales. The county will furnish drinks and meat. Please bring a dish to pass. We will also be doing a food and dry good drive and donate to area food pantries. Try to challenge your clubs to donate as well.
The AWSC is currently not taking a stand on snow bikes, but a conversation is being started. A snow bike does not fit the definition of a snowmobile.
Columbus Fall River Snoblazers has a new website. www.cfrsc.com
Make sure to inventory all bridges- need pictures, GPS locations, measurements, etc. The DNR could cut funding if they don’t have information. Get the information to Pam at the DNR. So far all the requests for this information have been verbal requests, nothing in writing. Also, a good idea to have it for insurance purposes.

Doylestown Pancake Breakfast will be the last Sunday in January at the Casino.
