Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders Club President’s Letter

November 2007 Dear Club Members: We are about to begin a new snowmobile season. There are some new and exciting opportunities for members this year and ample opportunities to ride Vermont trails. Through the combined efforts of snowmobile clubs throughout Vermont, we are proud to be part of a state wide trail network of over 5500 miles. A majority of the Vermont trail network is on private lands and thanks to local clubs like ours we are able to use these private lands for our sport. Local clubs also build and maintain all of these trails and annually obtain land owner permission, brush and cut trails as necessary, and most importantly groom every mile of trail. The Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders maintain over 55 miles of this trail network concentrated in the northeast corner of the state. We groom several nights each week during the season and have a first rate groomer and drag to finely hone the snow. Our club also engages in fund raising activities during the year to enable us to keep our membership dues low. Our fall fund raiser is a “Hunter’s Supper” which is scheduled on the first Saturday of Vermont’s deer hunting rifle season. Each year we see an increasing number of diners attend our dinner. Our spring fund raiser is a Mother’s Day and Land Owner appreciation breakfast. And again each year we see an increasing number of diners. We have recently participated in the Great North Woods Winter Fest by staffing a radar run. Half of the funds raised at the radar run are contributed to the club. As a club member last year, we are offering Connecticut Valley Sno-Riders the opportunity to join our club for the 07-08 snowmobile year. Because there are new and different types of Trail Maintenance Assessments (TMA’s) this year, we are trying something different in seeking to market these TMA’s and club memberships. In addition, there are early bird specials this year that will save members money. Attached is an explanation of the new TMA’s available this year. Note that the early bird special is for TMA’s purchased prior to December 15, 2007. Also attached and new this year is a TMA Application. Upon receipt of the Application and payment, we will complete the TMA and return it to you. We look forward to your membership in our club and hope that you have an enjoyable and safe snowmobile season.
