It certainly wasn’t the February we were hoping for but despite the lack of snow we were able to hold onto a decent base. Even after the first of the two vacation weeks and warm temps a lot of the base still remains. As I write this the temps are dropping down to seasonal norms and two substantial storms are in the forecast for the next few days. Our hopes are to recover the system and maintain it through our rescheduled Winter Carnival on March 20th. If and when this happens we will consider this season a successful one. If not, it will be important to strive on our off season fundraisers.
Last month we put together a nominating committee. Our committee consists of Dave Sweeney, Fred Watson and Ken Walden. If anyone wants to run for a position or nominate someone for a position please contact Dave, Fred or Ken. Remember, to run for a position, you must be a member in good standing as defined in our bylaws. All board positions are available; however all but the treasurer are willing to continue on.
In the past couple of months we have opened up the clubhouse to a couple snow dance socials and although I do not recall anyone doing a snow dance we have had a bon fire and fun ‘n’ games inside. Please check out the website for more information. If anyone else has any ideas on how we can get more members involved in the club please contact us via email from the website. We need at least three more weeks of snow; keep dancing!!


Above are some pictures from a recent trip some club members made to northern New Hampshire. We may not have had good snow here in SOS land, but there is still great riding to be done in our state if you know where to look for it! Let's hope next year brings back some generous snow amounts!!
Upcoming events
March 13, 2010
Back by popular demand our night time socials have been well attended so we are adding another one. Join us at the clubhouse for an "appetizer potluck" at 6:30pm. Come and join us for a casual evening with friends. Bring a favorite game, chat with others, watch TV, listen to music, play a friendly card game, cozy up by the fireplace or hang out by our famous bonfire! If so inclined, bring an appetizer and firewood for the bonfire!!
Winter Carnival cancelled
Due to the obvious lack of snow and warm temperatures we were forced to cancel this years carnival. Because of the cancellation we are pleading members to show support of attendance for our off season events. We will post them as soon as we get all the information together. Thank you everyone for your hard work in preparation for the winter carnival and keep your head high for next year. Snirt happens!
BRUSH CUTTER FUNDRAISER
We would like to purchase a brush cutter to mount on the drag to maintain the width of our trails. Until snow flies, it does not fall within the budget. We are starting a donation fundraiser in order that we can purchase this equipment. Our target goal is $2200.00. We have already recieved a very generous donation of $750.00 to get us started! Thank you!! This is a great start towards our goal. Whether you write a check or excersise the donate button above, please earmark your donation to "brush cutter". Thank you for your help. SOSSC Fundraiser update; Approx. $1200.00 raised so far, thank you for your donations!
We value your input, so please email us at sosclub@sossc.com with your comments. If you are happy with our trails and with our site, and would like to help us keep trails in tip-top condition, please use the "donate" button to give to our groomer fund. Enjoy the site.
