Club Raffle:
The board met before the meeting and agreed to two different raffle ideas both totaling $2,000. The raffle would be drawn at the closing ceremony at the Fox Valley Winter Expo on Saturday, January 5.

• In the event, that Grant Wilson could get a snowblower donated by Ariens, we would offer the following prizes: 1) Snowblower, 2) $1,000 cash, 3) $500 cash, 4-5) $100.
• If a snowblower is not available, the board agreed on the following cash payouts: A $1,500 first prize and five $100 winners.
• Grant was going to research a snowblower and Stacy was going to get tickets printed depending on Grant’s success.

County Director’s Report
Mike is planning on attending the Fall Workshop and County Director’s meeting at Chula Vista Casino in Wisconsin Dells. The event will be held October 26-28. 

Trail/Grooming Committee
Most of the crops are all still in the fields. Mike will start talking to landowners in the next few weeks. It has been a very wet fall and hopefully we will get a chance to do some disking before everything freezes in.

Membership and Safety Committee:
Jason Ollanketo will be teaching another ATV/Snowmobile safety class in December. As of the meeting there were 27 members who have paid for the 2018-2019 club membership.

Old Business
Octoberfest:
We had another great year at Octoberfest. It was a little on the chilly side and there was a definite drop off in customers from 3:00 on. According to our numbers we sold around 175 dozen ears of corn at the event. We ended up netting around $3,700 total from the event. Our treasurer will have updated totals at our next meeting. A special thanks goes out to all of the club members who helped make this event another great success.

The following club members did an awesome job supporting the event this year:

Mark, Michele and Marissa Covill, Stacy Frakes, Mike Giese, Harv Harrison and his neighbors, Stu and Patty Hoelzel, Todd and Erica Llewellyn, Craig Mueller, Jason, Nathan and Avery Ollanketo, Brian Reeves, Cody Schwartz, Tom Spierowski, Mike and Scott Thoma.

Club Destination Ride:
There have not been any dates scheduled yet for a club ride this year. There may still be an opportunity for some club members to go the 4 Season’s resort in Cable this winter. The board also narrowed down a possible weekend trip in the Minocqua area. This area was chosen over the Mountain Area due to past year’s availability of snow.

New Business
The Neenah Hook and Spear club will be looking for help this year at their annual winter event on the lake. We are hoping to get some of our club members to assist in those activities. More information to come in future meetings.

Grant Wilson was the winner of this year’s free club membership. The drawing was open to all 27 club members who paid for the membership prior to the meeting.

8:22 P.M., Motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded – unanimously approved.

Attendance: Paul Kuehnl, Grant Wilson, Stacy Frakes, Mike Giese, Jason Ollanketo, Todd Llewellyn,
