November 2015 - Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club
St. Germain Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club Celebrating our 46th Snowmobiling Season! Volume 2015-16 Number 4 President’s Message—Ozzie Ausloos Success is a lot of work Last month’s President’s Message was about how our club and Board of Directors have been busy getting new map ads and raising money for our grooming expenses. Well, because of our growth some people behind the scenes have to work extra hard to stay on top of this success. As of the last Board meeting our Membership Chair Margie Klingsporn reported that we have 100 new families apply for membership. Wow isn’t that awesome until you have to enter them into our system and the www.boboen.com November 2015 AWSC. You have to send them the membership cards and stuff more envelopes with our raffle tickets etc. Margie has been a trooper in keeping up with the task, I suspect her husband Milt has helped in some of this. I sure hope they use self-seal envelopes. Every year there are some changes to our Brown Informational signs that you see at the intersections of our trail system, but this year brought a whole lot more than a few. Each pit stop advertiser has their name at several intersections which means new signs have to be made for the New Pit Stop adver- Map Ad Sponsors Tuesday, November 10th, 2015 were missed last month Fibber’s Dinner 7:00 pm Ozzie the following November Membership Meeting Cocktails 6:00 pm tisers. Our Sign Coordinator, Steve Soltwedel, did a great job in resourcing a company that made the sign lettering and Steve recycled some old signs and put new lettering on them. Thanks for your ingenuity and hard work Steve. By the time you read this the brushing with the tractor will be done and our ‘Brushing Day’ will be completed and all we need is the white stuff from above and we should be good to go!

Have you sent for your trail pass yet? Better not forget or put it off. We are over half complete with our machine brushing and work is progressing on the "goat" trail along Hwy 70 past Sportsmen’s Chalet and Fudd’s Big Dipper next to Elmer’s re-route. The engineering work is complete and bonds are all submitted on the new Dog Creek Bridge which is along Hwy J. Seems like everything is coming together. This new bridge will eliminate crossing over Hwy J. We will be having driver meetings next month, always an exciting time for the crew. The club brushing day was another great event attended by 30 members. A big "Thank You" to Joe & Debbie Reed at Spang’s for providing the pizza, Sheila Pulec and Tara Pulec at Twilight Bar & Grill for providing a place to gather after brushing and for their donation to the club. We would also like to thank the Weber family from Camp’s Sentry Foods for their donation of donuts for the brushing crew and Paul Bohnen of Paul’s Rent-All for his donation of the use of his chipper to clean up the approaches for the new Dog Creek Bridge. It is so rewarding to work for businesses that really appreciates our efforts to provide the best trails in the state. Don't forget.....trail pass, trail pass, trail pass. It will be riding time before you know it! HAPPY TRAILS... Jim Treasurer Report—Ed Siergiej As our Trail Boss Jim Wendt mentioned in the September newsletter the replacement of one of our groomers, I would like to inform our members of this expenditure over the summer. Through our budget process the Board of Directors approved the selling of one of our New Holland Tractors and the purchase of a Track Tucker-Terra. As for the numbers, the sale of one of our two New Holland 2010 Tractors brought us $101,000. The new (slightly used) 2013 Tucker-Terra cost was $157,000. We were able to pay the difference of $57,000 with $9,000 in the equipment allocated funds from last season with the remaining $48,000 from our general fund. Of course this large expense brought our club’s funds down under $10,000 to start the new season. We again need to build up our funds for the season’s operating expenses and get ready for our next equipment purchase in the near future. It is of the utmost importance to keep updating our equipment to keep our trails the very best they can be. Having even one piece break down and out of operation puts a great strain on the other equipment and our trails. Not to mention that one of our neighbor clubs having all three of their groomers out of action last winter, which was a disaster. All the credit goes to our Trail oBss and our groomer drivers who maintain our equipment throughout the season. Not only does it keep our equipment running but it also helps bring top dollars when we sell. THANK YOU. NOTICE TO MEMBERS Please note that we do not sell or share your names, phone numbers, e-mails etc. with anyone. SELLING OF CLUB RAFFLE TICKETS If any business would like a supply of our raffle tickets to sell over the winter, please send a note to info@boboen.com or contact a board member and we will get you some. Secretary’s Report—Kay Schultz Last week the color in the north woods hit its peak. The weather was great, with the temperature on Sunday was almost 80o. But now the tide has turned – the temperature right now (Tuesday, 10/13 @ 10:00am) is 46o and the wind is producing white caps on the lake and it is “raining” leaves and pine needles. Not really ready for snow yet but I’m guessing that it will be here soon. I would like to say a big thank you to Laurel and Gary Frank of Sportsmen’s Chalet for hosting our October membership dinner. As usual, the appetizers, dinner and dessert were great. We are wishing you a speedy recovery Gary! Please remember that we will once again be collecting for the Vilas Food Pantry at our Christmas dinner at Whitetail Inn. Kay Schultz Get well wishes were sent to Gary Frank. Please call Arlene Rieckenberg at 715-542-3066 when you have information on births, of members who are ill or hospitalized and need a bit of cheer, sympathy or encouragement. Membership News – Margie Klingsporn As I predicted last month, Ed and I have been very busy with our membership applications. Despite both of us vacationing at different times this month, we have managed to register 325 memberships. We are extremely happy that so many members have renewed this early. Four years ago we had a total of 462 memberships for the entire year. As of today we have 559 registered memberships. It is mind boggling to think of the growth of our club!!! If any of you have questions about your membership, please feel free to direct them to me at mklings@frontier.com or 715-479-2028.

The Apple Dumpling Gang is a group of good looking men (mostly retired, but a few are still working) who snowmobile together every Wednesday during the season. This is an informal group so there are no dues or duties. On Wednesdays they leave from the groomer barn at 9 AM sharp. All you have to do is show up. Socializing is usually available there starting at 8:15 AM. There is a contribution for each ride to cover the cost of the drinks and lunch for that day. The group also has a Kick-off dinner in November, a 3-day Overnighter Trip, a Potato Pancake Breakfast in mid-winter, and Brunch to end the season in March. Why not come ride with them? B. B. Mappy’s Hint of the Month Please consider volunteering to help with one of our BoBoen events. You can call any of the Officers or Directors to find out how you could help. Their numbers are listed in every newsletter. Here are some activities that need volunteers. December 29 & 30 — Snowmobile Safety Class January 29 & 30 — Radar Run February 3 & 4 — Groomer Show This little Brown Sign Could Save Your Life! Vilas and Oneida County Snowmobile Clubs have placed brown, 3 digit number signs throughout the County at key intersections. In the event of an emergency, the 911 operator will ask for this number. Their emergency response system can identify these numbers and give important information to rescue personnel. So pay attention to these intersection Number signs. They can save lives! ANYONE REMEMBER? Do you recognize this “Official BoBoen Pitstop? This photo was taken in the 70’s by the family of Doug Leasure. His dad and uncles would come up every winter to ride our trails and his 78 year old uncle continues to come up yearly to ride. If you have any Bo-Boen photo’s of the past that you would like to share with us, you can email them to me at geby.four@gmail.com. Annual Club Raffle Again this season we will be running our club cash raffle. There will be four raffle tickets sent with your membership renewal form. The tickets are $5 each with a maximum of 2,000 tickets sold. First prize is $2,500, second prize is $1,500, third prize is $500 and fourth and fifth place prize is $250 each. The drawing will take place at our dinner meeting on March 8, 2016. We would also like to THANK The New Twilight Bar & Grill for paying for the print costs of the raffle tickets. Help Wanted—Trail Assistance Chair Kevin & Deb Harvey (Harv’s Vacation Rentals) recently went to the Milwaukee Snow Show at the State Fair Park in Milwaukee to promote snowmobiling in St. Germain. There were numerous compliments about our trails and the consensus was people couldn’t wait to come to St. Germain and ride the best trails in the state! St. Germain Radar Run Sponsored by the St. Germain Radar Racers, LLC January 29 & 30, 2016 The current Chairperson has taken a new job within the club, “President”, and would be looking for a person to step up and assume this leadership position. This person must have a strong personality displaying leadership skills, or be willing to work with a bunch of nice guys helping out at a couple of fund raisers. Call Ozzie at 715-542-3548 for a personal interview.

The certificate must be carried while operating the snowmobile, and displayed to a law enforcement officer upon demand. Snowmobile Safety Education Classes are offered in the fall and early winter, and should start appearing on the DNR’s web site within the next month or so. All students are required to obtain a Wisconsin DNR Customer ID# as part of the criteria to graduate from any Recreational Safety Class and provide that number to their instructor. Students can obtain a DNR Customer ID# from St. Germain Sport Marine during business hours or by calling 1-888-936-7463 between 7 am to 10 pm. You can also visit a Wisconsin DNR Service Center during their regular scheduled hours. For additional DNR Service Center hours and locations go to www.dnr.wi.gov and click on the “Contact US” tab located at the top. The Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club’s Snowmobile Safety Education Class will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 29 & 30, 2015. Anyone 11-1/2 years of age or older is eligible to take the class and receive a safety education certificate; however, the certificate does not become valid until the child reaches 12 years of age. Pre-registration is required by calling Peggy Ausloos at (715) 5423548. If you can donate a couple of hours of your time to help with registration, cookies or bars, grading of tests or helping outside with the machine test, please call Peggy Ausloos at (715) 542-3548. Again this year Judy & Chuck Berard will be making lunch for the kids and are requesting helpers from 11:30 to 12:15. If you could lend them a hand please call them at (715) 479-6659. The Air, The Forest and The Watch Print Raffle Again this year, Don & Marie Bauman donated another signed, numbered and framed print to the club to be used for a raffle.

For those of you out of the area, you may also send money with your membership renewal and make a note what the additional funds are for. Tickets are 3/ $5.00 or 7/$10.00.
