MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT –Tim Cupka

Well, it certainly wasn’t the year we were hoping for. We missed just about every storm that was advertised. Despite the low snow year we had some good open houses and memberships were not down too much. We started with a great fundraiser with the Grass Drags breaking our all time record but unfortunately we were not able to have our favorite one (Winter Carnival). Lisa has some fundraisers and fun events lined up for the off season and we are looking for ideas for additional ones. If anyone has a suggestion, please email the club and we’ll give it a shot. It is important, with the start up costs every year, to try to accumulate funds in the off season; so if you can find the time to attend these fundraisers we would love to see you there. We will list them on the website calendar as soon as we get them in order. We’ve scheduled the Annual Banquet for Saturday May 1^st at the River’s Edge Tavern (Indian Mound Golf Course) and it will once again be catered by the Yankee Smoke House. Last year’s meal was fantastic, so if you missed it here’s your chance. Next month’s general meeting is our last meeting and we will be voting in officers. We urge everyone to try to make it. If you would like to nominate someone for office or run yourself, please contact one of our Nominating Committee volunteers. They are Fred Watson, Dave Sweeney and Ken Walden (see contact info below). Have a safe and enjoyable summer and I hope to see you at the Banquet.

This check presented by Skidoo in the center of the picture above is the result of Scrub Oak Scramblers members who filled out cards last fall and sent them to their dealers. Your club got the full amount allowed in the program $1500.00. Thank you for your continued support!!
