from the Board
Gary Breuckman
We've had a busy summer, with campouts, adopt-a-highway,
picnic, and last but not least the corn roast and elections.
I would like to thank John Palmer for the time he has spent on
the Board, all of the Board members share many tasks for the events
we have, and their time is appreciated. John did not run for reelection, and Lisa Schwartz was elected to fill the vacant position.
At the August Board meeting, the Board elects the club officers.
The only change is Steve Schwartz, will serve the next year as VicePresident. Thanks also to Dave Rowley who had been your VP. The
main job of the VP is to organize and keep track of events, and to fill
in for the President should he not be at a meeting.
We have some Safety School classes coming up. The first one
is a special one-day class at the Snow Show. One-day classes are
usually not allowed, so this one has conditions - the students must
register in advance, and receive the class materials in advance so
they can study them beforehand. If you know anyone looking for a
class, don't miss this chance to do it in one day.
The other two sets of classes are in December and January at the
Menomonee Falls Community Center. While the one day class fills
up quickly, we usually have room in these classes so spread the
word!
Don't forget to return your membership renewals - we want
100% returns, I hate to see people leave. Save money on your
snowmobile trail pass this year by belonging to a club.
SAFETY SCHOOL
Gary Breuckman
The Snobirds will again be offering snowmobile safety classes
this winter. The classes are conducted by qualified instructors, from
the Snobirds, who are certified by the State D.N.R.. Satisfactory
completion of the class meets the D.N.R. requirements.
“Any person who is at least 12 years old AND who is born on
or after January 1, 1985 is required to possess a valid Snowmobile
Safety Certificate in order to operate a snowmobile on public trails,
lands or frozen waters. You must carry the certificate while riding
and you must display it to a law enforcement officer when requested.”
As this training is important to public and personal safety, a
parent or guardian is welcome to attend with their student without
paying a fee, unless they also wish to be certified. There is a $10 fee
for registration and D.N.R. safety materials. The course consists of
three evening classes with subjects of snowmobile laws, ethics,
terminology, maintenance, clothing, first aid, environmental and
ecology problems.
We have a special one-day class held at the Milwaukee Snow
Show, and then two regular 3-night sets of classes in December and
January. The one-day class is on October 17th from 10am to 6pm,
for information or to sign up call Scott Makowski at 262-252-3496.
The 3-night class sets are on December 2, 9 and 16 and the
second set on January 6, 13, and 20, all at the Menomonee Falls
Community Center, W152 N8645 Margaret Rd. The classes run
from 6:30 to 9:30 each night, and you must attend all three classes
of the set to be certified. For information or to sign up call Gary
Breuckman at 414-442-4279.
