Celebrating Snowmobiling Since 1969!
Volume 2016-17 Number 2
Presidents Message—Ozzie Ausloos
The summer is winding down and
our thoughts are starting to drift towards winter. We will be sending out
our membership renewal notices soon
please look for them. This year we
will be sending out some via email
and others via US Postal service. Look
for more details in Beth’s article in
this newsletter.
We are not sending out the normal
raffle tickets this year. Instead we
will be selling a limited number (200)
of $50 tickets. These tickets can be
found at our local merchants, look for
more information in upcoming newsletters. In the meantime there is a
spot for donations on the renewal notice, please be generous our grooming
expenses keep going up each year and
we want to maintain ‘The Best Trails
in the Northwood’s’ title.

Kay Schultz put together our membership meeting schedule, this too can
be found in this newsletter. We have
some great restaurants that will be
hosting our meetings again this year.
Mark down the dates and plan on attending these meetings, they feature
great food and lots of camaraderie.
Thanks Kay for your hard work putting
this together.
The New Twilight Bar & Grill recently hosted the In Memory of Steve
Pulec Pedal Power Bicycle Poker Run
to benefit the Bo-Boen’s and the St.
Germain Bike & Hike Trail. A big
Thank You goes out to Tara Pulec and
Kelly Pulec, owners of Twilight Bar &
Grill and everyone else for their continued support of the club and community.
5K Bacon Dash
Our club was a featured
sponsor of the 5K Bacon Dash.
The St. Germain Chamber
asked us to participate and we
shared in the revenue. The
event had more than 100 runners and the course was our
snowmobile trail. Awards were given out to the
fasted runners in each age category. The following
people either helped in registration or were on
the trail lending support along the way. Thanks to
the following:
Tom & Julaine Nampel
Pam Gebhardt

We recently worked with the St.
Germain Chamber at the 5K Bacon
Dash. This was an event tied in with
the Pig in the Pines. Thank you to the
St. Germain Chamber and also to Judy
& Dave Walker for chairing the event.
We sure have a great club, located
in a great community!

CLUB RAFFLE INFORMATION
As mentioned in the August Newsletter, we will not be
sending club raffle tickets as we have in the past with your
membership renewal since it was brought to our attention
that it is against postal regulations to do so. At our August
board meeting it was decided to again do a club cash raffle but changing it
up a bit.
Our raffle this season will be a $50 ticket with a maximum of only
200 tickets sold. Cash Prizes will be: 1st $2500, 2nd $1500, 3rd $1000,
4th $500, 5th $500.
Tickets will be made available at various businesses and with our board
members. For our out of town members, if you would like to reserve a ticket
to purchase when you do visit, please send us a note via e-mail
at [email protected]. We will arrange to have a ticket(s) available for you to
pick up or we can try to get to your hotel, cottage, etc. when you are in the
area. The drawing will be at our March 14, 2017 Dinner/Meeting and as usual
you need not be present to win.
We believe this can be a great fundraiser with a bit of fun of winning
some cash. Updates of ticket sales will be advised via our monthly newsletter. If you would like help sell some tickets, please contact a board member
or send a note to our general e-mail [email protected] . Help us make this
successful.
Trail Boss—Jim Wendt
Greetings from the sweltering northwoods! Weather like
this really makes me crave our treasured wintertime. Looking ahead, we have added two new drags to our
grooming fleet. This will be a great improvement to our
already impressive stable of equipment.
We did not get a huge amount of wind damage from our
recent storms. Hopefully, the hunters in the woods will
clear some of the debris. We will be taking the brushing
equipment out soon to clean up the system. I have not
been contacted from any of our valued landowners about
changes to our system....keep your fingers crossed for no
surprises.
A huge thank you goes out to Paul Bohnen and Dave
Walker for the use of their equipment for the work on our
"goat trail". These two men really step up when I need help
on the trails..."THANK YOU, GUYS"!
I hope you all have a great remaining summer and start
thinking of the season we all soooo look forward to even
when sweat is running down your forehead!
HAPPY TRAILS,
JIM

Secretary’s Report & Membership Dinners—Kay Schultz
WELCOME BACK! Not a whole lot of snowmobile news right
now. Your board of directors are busy getting renewals or new
map advertisers. This is a great source of income for the club.
Another great source of income for the club are the two upcoming fundraisers. First, on August 27th, the 20th Annual ‘Pig
Roast’ will be held at Sportsmen’s Chalet. The food is always
great and the raffles are always a fun event. Of course, any
chance to win something is always fun. Then on August 28th,
the 3rd Annual ‘Drive with the Groomer Drivers’ golf outing
will be held at Trout Lake Golf Course. Although I am not a
golfer, I usually meet the golfers at the club house after they
are done playing. From the conversations that I hear, everybody participating in the event has a great time. They too
have raffles, so there is a chance to win something here also.
Please mark your calendar to attend one or both of these
events.
Next on the agenda is the membership dinners. Please note
that two of the dinners are not on the second Tuesday of the
month. The first one is the November dinner, which has been
moved from November 8th to Thursday, November 10th. This
was done to accommodate many of our club members who
work the election. The other dinner was moved from February
14th to Thursday, February 16th. This was due to the fact that
Tuesday happened to be Valentine’s Day. Please mark your
calendars of the following dates and restaurants that have
graciously agreed to host one of our membership dinners. Last
year, the attendance at the dinners was outstanding – let’s try
to keep the trend going!
