County Director’s Report
Mike Giese updated the club on some of the activities that took place on the Lake Breeze Golf Course in December. Some snowmobilers were driving over private property over newly planted trees as well as over the golf course close to Winneconne. The Winneconne club was very proactive with this issue and did a great job working with the landowners and putting up additional signage to prevent further trespassing.
Mike reported that the DNR only handed out 42 tickets last year for no Trail Pass. This year they will be more pro active with their enforcement.

Trail/Grooming Committee
The groomer went out for a total of 6.5 hours over the brief stint that the trails were open before Christmas. We installed new LED lights on both the front and rear of the groomer and they are very nice. Mike Giese, Joel Vernon and Mike Bresnyan changed the transmission and engine oil in the groomer.
The club talked about the potential to put in some swamp mats to improve the ditch crossing close to Vinland Center Road. Some club members are working on getting some quotes on swamp mats for this potential future project.

Safety Committee
Jason Ollanketo and Paul Villwock from the Sno-Pioneers club taught a Snowmobile/ ATV safety class on Dec 14, 16 and 17 at the Boys and Girls Brigade in Neenah. Overall, 19 students passed the Snow exam and 16 students passed the ATV exam, including some of our very own club members. It was a very successful class.

Old Business
501c3: The 501c3 process is still progressing nicely. So far most of the paperwork has been filled out and our forms have been submitted to the state. Stacy will keep the club updated on the overall status.

Website:
The Wolff’s Pack club website is still not operational. Jason Ollanketo is working with Host Gator to get the Wolff’s Pack site cloned from the WCSA site at a cost of $112.50. Jason will update the club once the site is back up and running.
