Hi Everyone,
It is time to get rolling on the details of the Prize ride
I hope you all are able to get out and put up fliers, which
Were handed out at the last general meeting. Going to
be a real push for
everyone to participate in getting sponsors for prizes. Cliff has put
together packets which will be handed out at the October meeting, and
at the committee meeting.
I need volunteers to go one day, and sell raffle tickets at their
local feed store. I have done this in years past, and sold over 100, in a few
hours, they sell themselves, as everyone needs hay!
Judy Benson, has the tickets, so if you
need some, please call them at
425/327-6514.
Thank you all in advance! I hope to see you all soon! Audrey
I am starting a list on line here of the sponsors, that have been talked to.
Please, if you see the name don't go there again. When you go somewhere,
please add to this list, and send it out to everyone.

No Dogs on Trail Ride
Hello Cathy and Kerry,
I’m writing you to inform you that we will be having a Chainsaw/ Crosscut saw certification class on
Saturday, October 25th in Langley Washington. I would appreciate it if you would pass this information
along to people in your chapters that have experience using either /or and are your “go-to” people when
you need people to go out and clear trees from blocked trails.
If you find that you have people interested in coming over for the day long class please have them
contact me asap as there are things that they need to do to get the process rolling. One note, this class is
NOT for beginner sawyers. It is directed to those who already have experience using a chainsaw and feel
totally comfortable with it.
The cost is free to BCHW members and only open to active members of BCHW. Please have them let
me know what chapters they’re representing.
Also, I am looking for candidates in the NW region who are willing to attend a weekend certification
course to become a certifier. There are certain Criteria that has to be in place before you can become a certifier. This will make it easier for us in the NW region to certify more people since at the present time I have to recruit people from the Pierce County Chapter to come up and assist me.
Thank You and looking forward to hearing from you.

Please distribute this form with your chapter members planning on attending the Saw Certification on October 25 in Langley. I
will try and get Jim to send me a link to a map to his home (classroom session) before too long for those of you coming from out
of the area.
Also, I would like to get a firm number of people who are planning on attending from your chapters. I got word from Traildusters this week that this certification is scheduled on the same day as their prize ride at Pilchuck Tree farm and they couldn’t afford to lose any of their help for the day so, they weren’t sending anyone.
