President Bert Miller called the meeting to order.  We had 16 members in attendance. We are trying to come up with ideas to get more people involved in the meetings as well as club functions so stay tuned. If you have any ideas feel free to share them.

 

The club would like to congratulate Sarah Miller for tying for 1st place in Wyoming State Snowmobile Association’s Scholarship competition. She was awarded $1500 from WSSA.

 

Your club officers are: Bert Miller – President, Mike Kelly – Vice President, Michelle Young – Treasurer, and Brenda Miller – Secretary.

 

 Your board members are: Brad Rick, Mike Kelly, Bert Miller, Rob Marshall and Bryce Carroll.

 

Unfortunately the Senior Cookout was cancelled this year due to Shreve Lodge still being under construction. We are going to try to plan something for this next spring at another location. If you have any suggestions feel free to share your ideas with any of the officers or board members.

 

As you may or may not recall we are now referring to the Warming Hut as a Safety Shelter. So, cleaning of the Safety Shelter needs to be scheduled. This year we will need to make any necessary repairs which probably will include painting the inside this year as well as redoing the floor. We also need to restock with supplies, a new first aid kit and stock it with wood. We also need to make a change to our sponsorship sign. Bert will check with Bill Nielson on the wood. We will also check with Ken George Trucking on their availability next month to haul the warming hut up the mountain. We are still in search of a larger trailer to use for a Safety Shelter so if you have any contacts please let either Mike Kelly, Tony Simek or Bert Miller know.

 

Carol Higbie volunteered to call club members this year to remind you about club meetings and any other functions.  If you don’t want to be called just let her know the first time she calls and she will remove you from the “call” list. Thanks Carol.

 

Fall Highway cleanup has been scheduled for this Sunday, October 11th at 9 a.m. at the game check station pull out. Miller’s will pick up the vests & bags from the Highway Department. Hope to see you there. The more people we have helping the sooner we will finish. We will have another meeting before then so we will be reminding people at our next meeting.

 

Ski-doo has announced a Million Dollar Club Support Program. The program consists of filling out a “Club Support Donation Certificate” and dropping it off at your local Ski-doo dealer between September 1st and November 15th. Our club can receive $10 for every certificate turned in up to $1500. Bert has spoken to Dustin at Roger’s Sport Center about this program and Dustin encourages the club to participate in the program. I have included a copy of the certificate, feel free to make a copy or go out to www.ski-doo.com and print an additional copy to give to fellow snowmobilers. This would be a great way for the club to get additional funds.

 

We would like to congratulate Dustin and Jenni Rosencranse (Roger’s Sport Center) for their recent acquisition of the Polaris and Kawasaki franchises. They are in the process of remodeling their store to make room for their new products. When they are done they should have a showroom full of products from SkiDoo, Honda, CanAM, Polaris and Kawasaki. We wish you the very best and also want to thank you for the support you give to the Cody club and our community.

 

Debbie Kelly won $15 in the 50/50 raffle. She requested the club portion to be designated for the Scholarship account. Remember you have to be present to win.

 

Our next meeting will be on October 7th at 6:30 p.m. at the Search and Rescue Hall. We will have a carry-in dinner. Hope to see you there.
