County Director’s Report
The AWSC will be raising their membership dues from $10 to $12 next year to offset rising costs and inflation. 

The AWSC will also be voting on changing the
effectivity of AWSC memberships to coincide with snowmobile registrations from
July 1- June 30^th on an Annual basis.  This will eliminate the loophole of people
buying two years of trail passes on only one year of club/AWSC membership.  Their will be a 1 year grace period on this
change taking effect.

The AWSC legal team is waiting for the Blue Mound
State Park public comment period to begin. 
Watch your emails for updates on this topic and be prepared to help
support snowmobiling in the park against the Blue Mound Friend’s group who does
not want snowmobile trails to run through the park.   

Trail/Grooming Committee
The club had groomed a total of 41.3 hours as of February 19.  The trails in Winnebago County have been open a total of 17 days as of the meeting.  The equipment is currently performing well.

Membership and Safety Committee: 
We currently have 61 members on our roster.  An additional 3 memberships were sent into the AWSC since the January meeting. 

Old Business
Club Destination Ride: 
Due to poor trail conditions and a lack of participation our January club ride in Minocqua was canceled.

New Business
The club decided to go an impromptu club ride from the Neenah Hook and Spear Club to the Beehive. 

Tom Spierowski discussed that some new club members were not sure how the Trail Pass system worked.  It is important to note that when you join a snowmobile club, we send in $10 to the AWSC so you become a member of both our club and the AWSC.  Once you have an AWSC member ID number, you are then eligible to purchase your own trail pass directly through the AWSC website for a reduced $10 rate.  The club cannot buy your trail pass for you, since we do not have access to your unique sled registration information that is also required to purchase a trail pass.

8:12 P.M., Motion to
adjourn the meeting, seconded – unanimously approved.

Attendance:
Paul Kuehnl, Grant Wilson, Dave and Stacy Frakes, Mike Giese, Jason Ollanketo, Scott Thoma,
