• Treasures Report:
  • Balance $16300.
  • Old Lakeshore Snowdevil’s account has been closed out and all funds transferred to the new Lakeshore Riders account.
• 501(c)(3)status:
  • Additional attorney’s fees have been paid and the process is continuing.
  • A budget is needed to be turned in and should be done in the next few weeks.
• Trails:
  • S41 trail (railroad bet from Wolcott to Red Creek) is closed for this season due to RG&E power line work.
  • S42 through state park to S40 to Wolcott has been signed. There are a few small reroutes that are still being worked on.
  • The section of C4 from East Palmyra to Port Gibson is still officially closed due to lack of landowner permission. We cannot mark it but you can ride the roads from Port Gibson up to the WAYN42 junction.  We still could use some volunteers to help us reopen this trail.  This is the only corridor that links WNY to the east.  Please contact us by clicking on the Contact Us menu item if you are willing to help.
  • We have begun trail signing, if you are willing to help check the forum work parties for more information.
  • We need to change the gate on the east end of the trail at Chimney Bluffs State Park. The current setup is not adequate to allow access for maintenance vehicles while keeping out ATVs.  We need someone to help set up some permanent posts on with a lockable chain so that access can be controlled.
• Groomers:
  • Formed a groomer committee that is currently looking for a used groomer.
  • The yellow Bombardier will be put up for sale.
  • The New Holland has been reposted for sale.
  • Grant application for new groomer cannot be completed until we get 501(c)(3) status
• Kiosks:
  • Signs are being made and should be complete in two weeks for the trail junctions.
  • Kiosk lumber should be available in two weeks. We need to buy the hardware, paint the plywood, and assemble.
  • We could use some volunteers to help put them together once all the material is in.
• Snowmobile Safety courses:
  • Check the forum under events for more details.
