Trail Report
A huge thank you to all who have had a hand in trail maintenance the past couple of weeks. 
Thanks also to everyone who has been volunteering for repairing the groomer and grooming.  Let’s remember that all people who mark trails, brush trails, and groom the trails do not get paid!  They are volunteers who are doing this on their own time so that all can ride!

Remember to document EVERYTHING related to trails so that it can bet it entered in SNARS!

Grooming Committee Report
A lot of time has been spent maintaining and repairing the groomer as it needs it.  This is our first year using it a lot and we are experiencing some growing pains.  As it breaks down, volunteers are working to get it back up and running so that the trails can get groomed. 

New Business
Guest Speaker – Stephen Timmers from Liberty Mutual Insurance – The AWSC has partnered with Liberty Mutual to see if they can save any of their member’s money on Home, Auto, Life and Snowmobile insurance.  He gave a little presentation and passed out his card if anyone was interested in obtaining a quote.

Tractor use and reimbursement – Dennis has been using his tractor to help when the groomer has been broken down and he is also been paying for his own fuel.  He will be turning in his receipts for fuel so that he can get reimbursed.  Thanks Denny for the use of the tractor and for helping out! 

Drag Purchase – Dennis bought a drag and has been using that to groom when he goes out.  He would like to know if the club would like to purchase it?  That way if we can get the groomer and the tractor running at the same time it will take a lot less time to get the trails groomed.  Motion was made to purchase the drag from Dennis for $2,000.  Rich/Kyle

Landowner Issues – we had an issue with a landowner that did not respond in time to get their yearly membership paid by the club and when they went to purchase their trails passes they had to pay more since they were not members of the AWSC.  Motion was made to pay $40 to the landowner  with 1 person opposed.  Greg/John 

April Meeting – Motion was made to have the April meeting at Millers on Thurs, April 4th @ 7p.m.  Dennis/Rich    **Please plan on attending as elections will be held!

Thank you to Plaza Bowl for hosting the March meeting!
