up Hawk Mt and down to intersecton at N1. There needs to be a culvert placed
at H1 and N1 intersection. If anyone else has checked any trails please let
us know where. We have had big blow downs so if anyone is going out it would
be a good idea to take a chainsaw. Anyone going out to trim branches we are
looking for a 10ft width. Moved to accept Nancy seconded by Scooby.

go out for advertisers.

the Tie up and Searles this year for higher visability.
Membership Drive-Brenda Doucette suggested giving out a free coffee mug for
any new memberships taken at our booth in Xmas in Harrison. Jason will be getting
a list of all snowmobile registrations in Harrison so we can get a letter of

Trail Master. Eric and Henry attended MSA meeting in Augusta in August. They
discussed some grant changes for this year and once we get the paperwork this
will be gone into in more detail. Henry is requesting all members who drive
the groomer take a training course to become state certified. We will put the
course together and notify the drivers of a date. We need to go out and check
all trails for any damage from the storm or general condition. If you go out
please let Henry know so we can keep track of problems that need attention before
the snow starts to fall.
Moved to accept Mike and second Eric.
Old Buisness. Golf Tourn. has been looked into and Stacy has some great information
and ideas for the comming summer.
New Buisness. Donation. Two of our members, Tabitha and Chris Wade celebrated

asked thier guests to donate to thier favorite local charity....HFRSC....What
a great idea and Thanks so much for thier generosity and thinking of us. We
hope your Birthday s were wonderful!!!
Discussion of comprehensive insurance for the groomer now that its been paid
off its not mandatory any longer. $980.92 is the cost. It was voted to keep
the insurance IF after Jason Baker looks into all that the insurance will cover,
is more than just if it catches on fire. For instance..will it cover if the
groomer gets off the trail and hits a rock and needs maint. Jason will get back
to us on his findings.
Would like to encourage all to register thier sleds in Harrison. The club recieves
