OLD BUSINESS:
*Feb 16th was the club’s Prime Rib Ride. 12 members showed up and Leonard and Eddie had the prime rib all ready to go with Eddie serving it. Leonard locked himself in the bedroom as he came down with  the flu.. Layne mentioned the ride across Gold Mine Road was just ok. Did some playing on the way. Jan mentioned that most of the club came through Gold Mine. Harnish’s and Stroms rode down Hazelton. After lunch some of the members stopped by Harnish’s on the way over the pass. Nice day for a ride.

*Discussed the placing of the beacons at Webb Creek SS for training. With the snow depth it was decided to get an early start next year if snow allows us.

*Safety Shelters were discussed. Don and Layne put blankets, battery, fire starter in both shelters. When the  FS roads allow us to move them, Pearce said we could park them on his land off of Hazelton road again this year. Next meeting we will decide when  to have a clean up and wood cutting day. Along with a cook out. Eddie said he’d try to get the truck to pull them out with again.

*Fun Days was last weekend. Layne related some of the events they took part in and won.  Tony discussed and distributed the awards. Male Snowmobiler-Dave Loden, Female Snowmobiler-Becky Qualm, Youth Snowmobiler-Hannah Qualm, Family Snowmobiler-Qualm Family, Business Snowmobiler-The Cowboy Saloon. No place was decided on for Fun Days next year. Also 13 scholarships were given out this year. 

*Feb 23rd was the snowmobile safety training class at the Search and Rescue building. There were 3 trainers and the session lasted for 7 hours.

*Gun Raffle-Jan printed tickets and have them ready to pass out. .Ray  purchased the Savage gun. The guns were brought and displayed for members to look at.

*Willard Springs ride was discussed. Jan is waiting to hear back from The Lodge to advise us on snow conditions. Jan will send out emails and call Dave Ramsey, Eddie and Mandy to let them know.

*Loden advised us that Lanny Crites bronze plaque was purchased from Dave Harness and is being made.

*April 02nd will be our last meeting, so let’s all try to make it.                

NEW BUSINESS
*Grooming-Bill asked Tony about future grooming. Tony said he doesn’t really know yet. He did state that the State is purchasing a $250 snow cat for grooming next year. And the cost of tags could go up $15.00 next year.

*Staking-When are we going to pick up the stakes was discussed and decided to wait until next meeting to decide. Depends on when the roads are dry enough to prevent road damage.

*West Yellowstone Snowmobile Expo is March 15th-17th. A fun place to go if anyone is interested. The clubs  have booths to sell snow items in, and there is  rides and other fun activities throughout the weekend.  Contact Jan for more information.

*Small Business Expo is the first part of April. Jan contacted the chamber and found out there are no “non-profit” booths available now. They went fast. It was a good place to advertise for the club and to sell raffle tickets at. Layne said we might be able to go in with his business. He is going to check on it and get back to us.
