Treasurer’s
Report (Ending 1/31/2020)                                

Please join our club to see a copy of the Treasurer’s report.

The Treasurer’s Report was accepted and approved.  Expenses and proceeds from the Fox Valley Winter Expo as well as raffle ticket sales deposits impacted this month’s financials. 

Social / Promotions Committee

Fox Valley Winter Expo:
Paul Kuehnl, Grant Wilson, Stacy Frakes and Eric Kappell make up the Fox Valley Winter Expo Committee.  No location has been chosen yet for next year.  Headliners and The Westward Ho are two possible venues that the committee is researching.  More to come at the next meeting.

Club Raffle:  The Wolff’s Pack February Calendar Raffle is underway
and as of the meeting 11 drawings have already taken place.  It looks like we had a complete sellout of
the 600 tickets.  Congratulations to
everyone on a great job supporting this raffle and a special thanks to the
Beehive Barn and Grill for their participation.

County Director’s Report
The AWSC 2020 Spring Convention will be held from March 20-22 at the Madison Marriot West in Middleton, WI.  Early bird registration is $15 and is open until Thursday March 5^th.  Paul Kuehnl and Mike Thoma are considering attending on behalf of the Wolff’s Pack Snowmobile Club.  County Director, Mike Giese will be attending on behalf of the Winnebago County Snowmobile Alliance.

There have been some
emails circulating as of late to support the Polk County Snowmobile
trails.  Please be on the lookout for
updates from the AWSC for emails that require snowmobile support across the
state.

Trail/Grooming Committee
The snowmobile trails were open for the meeting this month and several members attended on their sleds.  Paul Kuehnl and Mike Thoma were heading out to groom after the meeting. 

Membership and Safety Committee:  
At the time of the meeting there were 63 members on our active roster.  All memberships this year will expire on June 30, 2020.   The Wolff’s Pack snowmobile club will be teaching a joint ATV/Snowmobile training course in the October timeframe of 2020 at the Boys and Girls Brigade.

Old Business
Military Ride: 
Mike Giese attended the Military Ride in Eagle River as a tour guide.  It was under new leadership this year and there was a lot fewer people attending.  Hopefully, it will grow more for next year and future years to come.

Club Cookout on Trail:
The snowmobile trails were not open on the opening day of Sturgeon spearing, so the club trailside event has been postponed until next year if the conditions work out in our favor.

New Business
Nominations:
The Wolff’s Pack Snowmobile club will be holding elections at the April meeting.  The following positions are up for a 2 year re-election:  President, Secretary, Trail Boss and a 2 year board member position.

Paul Kuehnl did accept
a nomination for President.  Mike Giese
was not in attendance at the meeting to accept a nomination.

Todd Llewellyn will be
stepping down from his position on the board, so that is another position that
