Eastern Maine Snowmobile Club

November 2009 Newsletter

Hello!

 

Welcome to our newest EMSC members:  Nancy Hatch from Clifton, Dola Hinckley from Clifton, Bill French – Lindsco Equipment/Ebberson Electric from Brewer, Laura Bailey – M&N Operating Company from Richmond, Donna Wood from Bangor, Thomas & Brenda Smith from Brewer, Beth Sutherland from Eddington,  and Douglas & Deborah Schmidt from Holden.

 

Our next meeting is Sunday, November 15th at 7:00 p.m.  Lew Tourtillotte has organized a special dinner, which will also be available to the public.  His friend, Chef Som, will prepare a Chinese meal of Lo-Mein with choice of Chicken or Pork and a Spring Roll.  The cost of this supper is $5.00 and the profit will go towards the loan principle.  The need will be for desserts so please contact me at 843-0749 or catrider550@roadrunner.com if you’re able to bring something yummy.   

 

The Board of Directors’ meeting begins at 5:00.

 

The first 300 club ticket will be drawn this evening.  There are plenty of tickets available, so contact Brent Spaulding if you’d like to buy a ticket prior to the meeting (989-7762).   Better yet, come for dinner and the meeting - this is a great opportunity to get acquainted or reacquainted with members. 

 

Trail work is ongoing every Sunday morning (8:00 a.m. to noon).  There is a lot of work left to be done in preparation for the riding season.  If you are able to help out, even for an hour or two, meet at the club before 8:00.  Hot coffee and fresh donuts are waiting for you.  If anyone knows of areas with problems please call Larry at 843-7813.  Also let Larry know if you’ve done any work on a trail near your home.  That helps out too!

 

The rental season is coming to a close and it has been a successful year with the total of 20 rentals, including several events booked for 2010.  If you know of anyone planning an event ask them to contact me at 843-0749.  Special rates apply to members who have been in good standing for 1 year – call for details.

Speaking of the club house opening for the season – we need volunteers to cook on Friday nights.  Members enjoy getting together to socialize and maybe challenge someone to a cribbage game.  A sign up sheet will be available soon.  But in the meantime, if you have any questions about “kitchen duties” please contact me.

 

If you currently receive the newsletter by postal service and want to receive it by e-mail, please forward your e-mail address to me.  Reminders of upcoming events and updates are sent throughout the month only by e-mail.  Also if your e-mail address changes include me in your notification so I can update my database.

 

In closing, I’d like to wish everyone and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving.
