Eastern Maine Snowmobile Club

January 2010 Newsletter

 

Happy New Year to All!!!

 

Our next meeting is Sunday, January 17th, at 7:00 p.m.  Dinner is at 6:00, which will be a POTLUCK. 

 

Not sure what the weather holds for us sledding to the club.  However if you do venture out, BE CAREFUL.  There is still a lot of open water on the trails.  In addition the lakes and streams are still dangerous.  Remember the club is open, with or without snow, on Friday nights. 

 

Janet and Mike Nelligan prepared and served a spaghetti dinner at the first Friday night dinner and the turnout was good.  Dinner is served about 5:30/6:00.  Paul and Lisa Gargan have signed up for Friday, January 15th, which will include a roast pork dinner.  The fire will be roaring so please join us for a game of cards or just some friendly conversation.  We still need cooks for Friday nights.  A sign-up sheet is posted on the refrigerator.

 

Larry will soon be asking folks to help with grooming trails.  If you have time, and would like to help out, contact Larry at 843-7813.  If this is a new experience for you, training will be provided. 

 

As you know I send newsletters out two ways:  by e-mail and by postal service.   If you are getting the newsletter by postal service and would like to receive it by e-mail, please let me know.  You can forward your e-mail address to me at catrider550@roadrunner.com.  To ensure that you continue to receive the newsletter it’s VERY important that you contact me or Eileen Lafland if your addresses changes.  You can also view the newsletter on our web site.

 

Congratulations to the winners of the December 300 club drawing:  $500 Janet Nelligan; $200 Bud Young; $100 Andy Meucci; $50 Marshall Strout; $50 John Kingsbury; $50 Derrick Robertson; and $50 Susie Heistand.  Tickets are still available.  If you’d like to try your luck and purchase a ticket(s), contact Brent Spaulding at 989-7762.   Tickets are available the night of the meeting.  

 

Ø  February 6th:  PROGRESSIVE RIDE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME.  DEPENDS ON TRAIL CONDITIONS.

Rocky Knoll Golf Course in Orrington is offering a 10% discount off their menu to any snowmobiler who show up by sled this season.  The trail that takes you right to Rocky Knoll is off the main connector heading to the substation. (From our clubhouse take ITS Connector trail #107 - the one that runs through our driveway - towards Orrington.  Once onto Orrington trails take a right on Trail #1, then another right on Trail #2.  On Trail #2 you will see a trail on the right marked “Rocky Knoll & Dysart’s Travel Stop”.)  Their web site is www.rockyknollcc.com where you will find their menu listed.  The Orrington Trail Riders web site has their local trail map showing it’s location.

 

Please remember to ride safe and respect landowners’ property.    See you soon.
