County Director’s Report
Mike Giese reported on the status of getting SNARS setup at the county level. At this point, the county has completed their tasks. Many of the clubs within the county have not yet completed their portion of the signup. Mike also mentioned that with the new SNARS reporting system, the county will only be providing one check for club reimbursement at the end of the winter season. 

Trail/Grooming Committee
The trails are ready for snow. The new culvert has been installed on Gary Wiese’s land and we had a great turnout at our annual marking day and finished all remaining tasks. Mike did bring up the idea of honoring some of our past landowners with memorial signs along our trail route. This topic will be reviewed more at a future date.

Membership and Safety Committee:
The club sent in 12 new memberships to the AWSC on December 2, 2017. If you have not renewed your membership please do so before January 1^st if possible as that will be the next time we send in applications. 

Jason Ollanketo and Paul Villwock of the Sno-Pioneers taught an ATV/Snowmobile class at the Boys and Girls Brigade in December.  The class had 21 graduates for Snow safety and 19 graduates for ATV safety. 

Old Business
Wolff’s Pack Destination Club Ride
Grant Wilson is still working on coming up with proposals for this event. Please let us know if you have any recommendations.
