Old Business

• The groomer is done and on its way home. Unfortunately there were some problems at the weigh station hauling the groomer and at this point, we are trying to get it home. Problems with the trailer created a fine of $364.00 which needs to be paid. Marvin asked for a motion to pay the fine. Motion by Willard, second by Debbie, motion carried.
• There is no bill for the groomer yet.
• Chuck made a motion to pay Matt the entire amount of the cost for hosting the web site for one year ($15.00 per month). Second by Wayne. Motion carried.
• Trail clean up had been cancelled due to bad weather. The trail is acceptable and we can do some trimming of limbs if we get a chance.
• A question has come up about our insurance covering our grader driver. After exploring it and talking to the insurance company, we have received a letter which stated that the operator of the equipment has always had the liability coverage, but we did learn that we need a lease agreement from Jon for use of the grader. It was good that the question was asked and we got clarification so we can add the necessary coverage for the grader itself. We just renewed our collision coverage on the groomer, and since it is paid for, we no longer need it for the bank. Maybe next year we can talk about taking it off.

New Business

• There was a grader in the paper that looked interesting, but it was gone when Charles called.
• We discussed donations from the club. Motion by Charles and second by Jan to donate $100.00 to the children’s Christmas party again this year. Motion carried. Motion by Debbie and second by Mary to donate $500.00 to the Northwood Education Foundation as a designated fund for winter clothing or items needed by the students. We need to order wreaths for the land owners. We should add the new land owner by Pogo’s. Motion by Charles and second by Willard to have Patti and Mary find the list of owners and order the wreaths.
• We should check our signs on the trail before winter to see if any are needed.
• We discussed a change in our schedule for meeting and decided that it was not necessary to have two meetings in January. New meeting schedule for 2007 will be out soon.
• Discussed the Winter Raffle and decided to do it the same again this year. The drawing will be at the February meeting and we will try to get tickets out before deer season.
• A membership letter will be coming out soon with a few updates from the year.
• Meat raffles are November 4^th and 18^th. If anyone is available to help, it is greatly appreciated and fun.
• Road clean up was postponed.

Motion by Charles and second by Willard to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 10:40.
Next meeting is December 9^th.
