NEW BUSINESS

Membership

A motion was made and passed to raise the Club's membership by $5. Single member ship will now be $25 and family membership will be $30. This is in light of the increase by MSA of $2.

Highlights of Trail Report

Henry reported on a meeting he attended with other towns. A request has been made that when a trail goes through several towns that each town keep the same corresponding trail number.

For example: Trail 17 going through Oxford, Paris, Harrison would be labeled 17OX, 17PR and 17HA.

This does not include ITS trails.

Maps: Donna from Bridgton is no longer handling Lakes Region maps. Suggestions made to photocopy existing maps or do an 8 x 10 map of Harrison with local advertising. Nancy and Henry to contact other clubs to see what they are doing.

Equipment: Groomers are ready to go.

Trails: B. Pullen has requested that our trail system be rerouted off of his property. Stacey Worster will talk to Bryan to see if he will reconsider.

Trail Maintenance: Henry has asked that anyone who would like to groom or help with trails maintenance contact him directly (583-4833 or nmrh_00@yahoo.com).

The dates for our Radar Runs are yet to be determined. A suggestion was made to hold the Run at Fernwood Pond. Stacey to assess the situation and determine place and dates.
