Lots of members and lots of noise from conversations. Was it the excitement of the possibility of winning a sled, a fabulous door prize, some extra cash for Christmas presents from the split the pot, or lots of snow out there that we’ve been deprived of for so long? We are gonna ride this season in some fabulous snow that is already out there. We may have to drive a little bit to get to the best, but once you are there, AweMike Leigh (right) at AMDS with his Grand Prize winning raffle ticket. some. It was definitely an exciting and generous night. The club sold 594 raffle tickets, so as of this date we don’t know if enough were sold to provide scholarship money for 2016 safety and education courses. The Safety committee still needs to determine how much that the club can designate next year. Thank you to all who sold tickets, and purchased tickets. You may not have won but your purchase went to a good cause that could save the life of someone. Our generous supporters for Red Cup door prizes: from the Susitna River Lodge, a gift certificate for a one night say in one of their beautiful suites; Team CC of Eagle River donated a jacket, sweatshirt. t-shirt, and goggles; and, Mad Hatter donated a great pair of gloves. $185 was generated and those proceeds will go towards trail grooming. When you visit theSusitna River Lodge, Team CC and the Mad Hatter, please thank them for their generous support. On behalf of the members of ASC, we would like to thank, Marita Sea & Ski/Alaska Power Sports, for their continued support and generous donation of items of gift cards and hats for our December General Membership meeting.
