Happy Holidays to Everyone,
It was snowing here a few days ago and I am not
ready for it.  I have not gotten over the last two
winters yet let a lone another one so soon.  I have
been hard to get a hold of this last month due to the
fact that I have been sick, working or when I was not
at work I was hunting.  I did not get an elk but I did
get a 3x3 buck.

The Break up party turned out real good even with
the rain we had.  I moved our party up to the Out
Doors School Room behind the school to keep from
getting wet.  As soon as we got everything moved
and ready to BBQ it quit raining.  If I had not moved
it, it would have rained and not stopped.  Cliff
Greenhaw won the $1000.00 raffle.  We sold all but
two tickets so we made $800.00.

I want to remind everyone of our Christmas Party on
Dec. 12, 6:00 pm at the VFW.  It will be a Potluck;
the club will provide the meat, non-alcohol beverages
and dinner ware.  Gift exchange will start when we
get done with dinner.  There are two gift groups,
children 0-16 and adults 17 and up.  The value of all
gifts should be between $10.00 and $20.00.

I called a Board of Directors meeting to discuse T
he
Elk City Dust Devils
, joining the Idaho ATV Ass., and
make dates for next years events.  The members
who were not at the meeting
, I called to discuss all
three issues except Mike Evett who was gone
hunting.  I hope he had better luck then me.

Ron Norland finished the work on Sheerer Park.  We
did not get a
ny grants we applied for so we were
unable to do anything on the park this year.  Ron
talked to me and Framing Our Community (FOC) to
see if we would be interested in renting the property
this winter to park his equipment.   

The members that were present voted to rent the
property to Ron
, for $75.00 a month, until we are
ready to do work on the park in the spring.  Ron will
fix any work on the property that may have gotten
tore up during the winter.  Our thoughts were that
instead of taking money for his rent that we would
trade for rock or gravel that we may need
.We will
vote on this at the spring Meeting. FOC has not
come up with amount but Joyce thought they would
go along with what our board had voted on.  If
anyone has a question on this please call, write or
email me.  

Karen Crosby was at our board of directors meeting
to ask us if we would join the Idaho State ATV
Association.  She would like to run for Vice President
of this association and could not unless her club
belonged to the association.  We need to belong to a
group that will represent us at the state and federal
levels on issues that we believe in.   A group of clubs
have gotten together and have started another
association and this is the one that Karen wants us
to join.  The board of directors voted to join the
association at $25.00 until the spring meeting when
the members that are present will vote to stay with
the association or drop out.  

Everyone mark you calendar for next years events
. .

Our club will be helping them with stations.  For all of
you that love to ride in the snow
, plan on going on
this ride.  We will have more details at a later date.
We do not have any meetings now until the spring
meeting in May
, so I will not be doing another
newsletter until spring
, unless something comes up
that everyone needs to be aware of.



We will be looking for new officers for next year so
keep that in mind.  I need two members to start
calling our members
,to see if they would like to be
an officer.  You will not have to do this until February
or March; if you are interested contact me and I will
send you the mailing list with all of the phone
numbers.



I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays along with
good health for you and your loved ones for the 2010
year.
