November 2004 Club News

 

    

Hello again everyone,

It's beginning to happen…areas around the State are starting to turn white! The long wait is nearly over and we will be riding soon. I'm sure some of you have a new sled you just can't wait to try. Please remember to keep safety in mind right from the beginning.

Our next meeting is this Sunday November 21st at 7pm with a spaghetti supper at 6pm.

Our Hunter's Breakfast, held November 6th, was again well attended and an abundant number of volunteers made for light work for all. Thank you to Jan Logan, Charlie Mitchell, Bob, Ardene, and Suzie Heistand, Mike Nelligan, Carl Gerow, Marcia Mower, Robbie Maquillan, Jim and Marty White, Tracy and Kristen Porter and Larry Lafland for the preparation work Friday night. Also the breakfast and cleanup crew; Lew Tourtillotte, Marcia Mower, Troy Grass, Charlie Mitchell, Larry Lafland, Jim, Marty, and Nina White, and Jamie Madore. Thanks to Troy Grass and his family for the donation of 20 dozen eggs for the meal. We fed 135 adults and 11 children total that morning. And a big thank you to Eileen Lafland for taking the time from her busy schedule to coordinate this event for our club again this year.

The first annual EMSC Craft Fair will be held this Saturday, November 20th, from 9 to 5 at the clubhouse. Our kitchen will be open and there will be door prizes every hour. Reservations have been very good and the hall will be filled with amazing Crafts! Come check it out!

Our MSA Super Raffle sales continue to go well. Over 70 were sold at the Hunter's Breakfast and 366 this past weekend at the Bangor Mall. Thanks to "Super Lew" and all the volunteers that have help make this a success for our club again this year. We still have a couple dates left at Marden's, so take a turn and help raise money for your club. If you have ticket stubs and money to be turned in please bring them to the meeting Sunday.

Speaking of raffles, the first drawing of our 300 Club will be held this Sunday, Nov 21st. If you have not yet turned in your ticket or would like to buy one contact Jamie at 989-6768.

Our Trail Crew continues to meet every Sunday at 8:00am at the club. If you would like to be part of this activity, come to the club any Sunday at that time and join the team. Thank you to all the members who have taken time already this year to help prepare our trail system for the upcoming season.

This year's club trip will be to The Four Season's in Ashland on February 18th-20th. If you would like to attend this year please get your deposit to Troy Grass at this Sunday's meeting.
