Dust Devils ATV club PO Box 202 Elk City, Idaho 83525 Dust Devils Spring Meeting
May 8, 2010
Forest Service Meeting Room
Meeting was called to order by President Valerie Patton at 3:15 pm;
Secretary: Donna Thornton was not present so there were no minutes to be read.
Treasurer: Debbie Rendleman gave us a report on our checking and Money Market accounts.
Old Business:
We discussed Shearer Park and what we could get done this year. We still have not gotten any grants to do any of the work that needs to be done to get started. Joyce with Framing our Community (FOC) is always looking and putting in for grants for us so we can get this done. Joyce has written a grant to put a sign on the property to honor the Shearer family but has not received an answer if we have got it. It was brought up to down size the building that we had voted on. We are looking into this and gathering information and will try and have a full report at our July meeting to see if this is something we want to do and then we will vote on it.
Karen Crosby talked to us about our membership into the Idaho State ATV Organization (ISATV). Karen belongs to our club and she sets on the board as Vice President of SATV. They are fighting for our rights at the state and federal levels. For all of you that have email I have been sending all the correspondence on to you that I receive to keep everyone informed of what the ISATV are doing in our behalf. In the fall we had an executive board meeting with the board members that were present at the time and we voted to join ISATV temporary until the spring meeting when everyone could vote. Charley Barnett made a motion that we join the club; Debbie Rendleman seconded it, the motion carried.
We will wait to here from Karen on when our dues are due. We did not want to pay them now then have to turn around and pay them again right away.
I will continue to send the information I receive to the ones that have email. It would cost too much to mail out everything they send to me. I am sorry but our club is so small we just do not have the money to do this that is why I want as many email address as I can get so everyone gets the information.
New Business:
May 29th Fun Run – Due to the weather we are not sure where we will have our ride but we will do something even if we have to ride around town.
2010-11 Election of Officers: Charley Barnett made a motion and Dave Paisley seconded it to expect the slate of officers as presented. The motion was carried
Valerie Patton – President
Darrell Vanderbur – Vice President
Kim Vanderbur – Secretary
Dorothy Bushy – Treasurer
Board Members:
Bill Gordan
Karen Crosby
Mike Evett – past president
It was discussed that the next time we have election of officers that we combined secretary and treasurer to one position.
Next meeting is on June 9th at 6:30 at the park if weather permits or else we will have it at the Forest Service meeting room.

Hello,
I was gone the month of June so that is why you did not get a newsletter last month. I want to thank Kim & Darrell Vanderbur,
Dorothy & Don Bushey, Threads, Mark Thornton, Dave Paisley, Bill Williams, Mark Smith and Sparkey for taking care of our
fun runs while I was gone. Kim did a lot of leg work getting the information into the paper and asking for donations for the
fireworks. Thank you to all of you and if I missed someone I am sorry. I would also like to thank Wanda & Spencer Parton (Elk
City General Store) for donating the hamburgers and hot dogs for the June and July BBQ.
Attendants were down on the fun runs in June and on the 3rd of July. Weather had a lot to do with it with gas prices so high it
is kept a lot of families closer to home. We had people from all over even a couple from New York. Results from July 3rd: high
hand went to Jeff Darling low to Jeff Maxwell. The 50/50 was won by Tom Simpson. We BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs and
everyone brought a potluck dish, there was a lot of good food and everyone had a good time.
The fire works were great and I want to thank Jeff Maxwell and his helper Jeremiah Thomson for the excellent job they did. Kim
had raised enough money for the fireworks that Jeff had enough to do some more on the 4th. Jeff has always done a great job
of letting off the fireworks and the whole town appreciates it.
Our next fun run is scheduled for August 21 and this will be our 106 mile run to Dixie and back, we will do this with the Dixie
Snowmobile Club. This date could change and if it does we will try and let everyone know. This will be the last one of the year
unless we decided to have one over Labor Day during our Break up part
We have our trail contact again with USFS and Parks and Rec. We will need volunteers to get them cleaned. We will have the
kids from FOC to help us again but we will need adults to go with them.
We are still working on trying to get some work done on Shearer Park but with the ground being so wet we have not been able
too. In the mean time Ron Norland is still renting the land from us at $75.00 a month. We are still trying to get grants to get
our building built but as of yet we have not received any. We have talked about doing the job ourselves with the money we
have and each year we will do what we can. If anyone has ideas and wants to put your two cents in you need to come to our
meetings other wise all discussions will be made by the ones who show up. Remember the world is run by the ones who show
up.
For those of you who have not paid your dues this is your last newsletter... We will be dropping you from the mailing list and
will only send out to the ones that have paid. Membership dues are $15.00 for a family and $10.00 for singles. If you have not
received you membership card would you let Kim know so she can make you one, she is new and didn't’t think to keep track so
we do not no who needs one and who doesn't’t. You can email her dkvanderbur@yahoo.com or call her at 842-2460.
Everyone start gathering stuff for our auction that we have at the break up party on September 4th. We will have awards; BBQ
steak provided by the club and our auction so plan on attending and brings a potluck dish.
Our next meeting will be July 14, 6:30 at the groomer shed next to the airport and we will BBQ the rest of the hamburgers and
hot dogs that were left over from the 3rd , bring a side dish.
