Dust Devils ATV club PO Box 202 Elk City, Idaho 83525 11/13/2009 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 The 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 any 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. . 2010 Events Spring meeting and election of New Officers – May 8 Memorial Day Week-end – May 29 Fathers Day Week-end – June 19 July 4 Week-end - July 3 (BBQ & Fireworks) 106 mile ride – August 21 (date could change) Break-up Party Labor Day Week-end – September 4 Christmas Party December 11 The Dixie Snowmobile Club is going to plan on the same 106 mile run on snowmobiles over Presidents Day week-end, that we did on 4 wheelers in August. 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. Valerie Patton |
