Hope you had an awesome summer! Now is the time to start thinking about winter (and rejoining the club)!
Joining the club locally or online, gets much needed funds to the club – the earlier you renew your membership, the earlier we get money. So, please renew now! You can join/renew at club meetings or go to Hebeler’s Sales and Service and join there (these two methods save us credit card fees and saves you a $1 service fee). You can also join by going to https://membership.nysnowmobiler.com/clubs/0890 (joining via the online system includes a $1 Service Fee) If you need help with the system, call Gary at 807-7002.
While renewing, please consider making a donation to the NYSSA Trail Defender Fund. This fund is established to help clubs fight for access to trails throughout New York State and is solely used for that purpose. Keeping trails open for us and our children is worth a few bucks. You can make a donation in person at any club meeting or you can select the Trail Defender ‘donation’ on NYSSA’s online membership site while renewing your membership or you can donate here: http://nysnowmobiler.com/donate-to-the-trail-defender-2/. Additionally, if you ride trails built and maintained by other clubs, please consider joining them-it is considered a secondary membership (and is generally only $24 as opposed to the $30 primary membership-as NYSSA accepts no fees from secondary memberships).
The club wishes to thank Pete (Chip) Fleckenstein and Paul Prior for stepping up and taking on the duties of Trail Coordinator. They will be sharing the duties. We still need some people willing to Captain a section of trail. We have a few available. If you are interested, please call Pete (628-4841) or Paul (310-8920).
Junior Sno-Chiefs News: The Juniors are planning on taking up a snowmobile rebuild and to attend some parades and of course, build and mark their section of trails. Trail build will be on Sunday, November 3rd-meet at 8:00 A.M. at the

Groomer Barn. The next Junior Sno-Chiefs Meeting will be on November 17th at 2:00 P.M. at the Groomer Barn. They are looking for new members-if you want to join up, please come to one of our meetings for more information!
Shawnee Vintage Club News: We are having meetings each month-our next get together is November 21 at G-Macs in Sanborn starting at 6:30 P.M.
Got your Fall Freezer Raffle Tickets Yet? We need your help selling tickets. Prizes include a Freezer filled with meat, 2nd prize is $200 cash, and 3rd Prize is $100 cash. Tickets will be drawn at the Christmas Party after the meeting on December 2, 2019 during our annual Christmas party (bring a dish to pass!). The club wishes to thank Hebeler Sales and Service, Bob Weaver Motorsports and Marine, Coppins, Jays Place and Pioneer Printing for their donations making this raffle possible. For tickets, please contact Lonnie at 731-5128.
Our trail, C-4B will likely have to be moved as construction will start, sooner or later, on the field across from Brauer’s in Pendleton. We have laid out a plan to move the trail onto the Power line to meet the Bike Path (C-4D/S-41), but now we need to do the legwork. We need help, especially from people living and knowing people in Pendleton. If you can assist, please call Pete (628-4148) or Paul (310-8920).
Snowmobile Safety Course – Scheduled for December 7th. We need more instructors-if you can help out, please call Rodger (731-2174) or Gary (807-7002) for more information. Course requirements: Age 10 or older on the day of the course. Class will run from 8:30 A.M. to 4 P.M. Attendees should bring a lunch, the club provides soft drinks and snacks. A parent or Guardian must sign a minor’s course paperwork. We encourage parents to attend with their children! RSVP to Rodger at 731-2174.
The January Safety Class will be held on January 20th and 21st (4:30 – 9:00 P.m. on the 20th, 5:00 – 9:00 P.M. on the 21st). Attendance at both classes is required to receive a completion certificate. Course requirements: Age 10 or older on first day of the day of the course.

Racing will be on the grass Drag track-no entry fee, no prizes- the only thing you can win is bragging rights! Help is needed to make this happen – please give Lonnie a call if you can help (731-5128)
On March 28th, we will have the club meat raffle at the Shawnee Fire Hall – Please get the word out to your friends and neighbors! This is a fun event for attendees and volunteers-and a wonderful fundraiser for the club. If you can help, please call Lonnie at 731-5128.
Want to help out on the trails? We will be building the trail system in the next few months. This is a great way to get to know the trails and meet some of your fellow club members. We have heard from several people about possible new trails-several things go into making that happen. To learn more, please call Pete (628-4941) or Paul (310-8920).
Do you like smooth trails? Know how they get that way? Come and be part of our great reputation for smooth trails! We really need volunteers to help with Groomer Maintenance, Groomer Operation and Barn Upkeep – as we’ve lost some of our operators and maintainers. Mechanical abilities are a plus, but we will help teach anyone interested. If you have some time and/or experience, would like to help out or if you are willing to learn, please call Herb at 523-1242 or Paul at 310-8920.
