October 2, 2007

Next Regular Membership Meeting is Wednesday October 10, 2007,

6:30 PM @ Smiley’s.  This is our Fall Kick-Off meeting. 

Office of Treasurer Opening

As discussed at the September meeting, we have an immediate opening for the office of Treasurer.  Gina Taylor has opted to remain a PSOS member, but is no longer living in the Plover area.  This is not a time-consuming position.  Estimate is no more than one (1) hour per month.   

For our club to continue to grow, we need someone to volunteer for this position. Ideally it would be beneficial to fill this opening with a member who previously has not held a club officer position. 

The bylaws read “It shall be the duty of the treasurer to collect and receive all monies due to the club.  Keeping a record and being accountable for same.  The Treasurer shall pay all the bills, only on approval by the President or one member of the Board of Directors.  The Treasurer shall render a report of the affairs of this office at each meeting upon call of the President”.

Gina has volunteered to help the new Treasurer get started.    

Fall Kick-Off Meeting

We need to retain all existing members and grow with the addition of new members.  Our October 10^th meeting will be our Fall Kick-Off Meeting.  This meeting will start at 6:30 PM.  Each member and any prospective new member will receive two (2) drink tickets ($5.00 value).  In addition there will be snacks, and we will order some pizzas.  Give some thought to inviting to our meeting snowmobiling friends that are not club members.

For snowmobiling to grow, everyone that snowmobiles should belong to a club.  The trail system throughout the state just doesn’t happen!      

Plover Spuds on Snow Swap Meet

The membership decided to bring back this event after a one year absence.  This will be held at Smiley’s Bar and Grill on Sunday October 21, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 PM.  There is no Packer game.  This is a lower cost event for people interested in selling snowmobile-related articles.   Our intent is to cover costs and generate some interest in joining the Plover Spuds on Snow Snowmobile Club.  It would be a plus to have some additional members sign up to help.  

Central Wisconsin Snow Show / Vintage Snowmobile Show / Swap Meet

The Snow Show runs Friday October 26^th through Sunday October 28th.  The Vintage Snowmobile Show and Swap Meet is just on Saturday October 27^th.  Staffing for our club’s involvement on the 27^th will be discussed.  Volunteers are needed before, during, and after this event.  Rob Sparhawk has done an excellent job in developing the Vintage Snowmobile Show, but he can’t do it alone on Saturday.  To insure success of these events, we could use some additional volunteers.
