With our first meeting

behind us, it’s official that our 2015/2016 season has begun! I wish to thank everyone that was able to find the time to attend our first meeting and help plan the events for our new season. Be sure to keep an eye on the club calendar so as not to miss out on any events this season!

As mentioned last month, the big doings this season is the implementation of the online membership to a club through the NHSA portal that will go active late December or early January. They (the NHSA office) are still working the bugs out of the site. For now, only club membership directors have access to the site and they are entering all paid members into this new database which is also helping to test how the site is working. Once your info is in the system it will be very easy for you to rejoin next season on your own and instantly get the voucher you need to register your sled.

If all goes well this season

with this new system, next year

Dedicated  to  safe  snowmobiling!

Fish & game will consider linking their database with NHSA’s. If that happens, you’ll be able to pay your membership dues and register your sled on line right from your home. Here’s hoping all goes well!

ME, VT and NH will once

again have a reciprocity weekend the last weekend of January. This has proven to be a very beneficial weekend for the three states so it’s happening again this year.

I wish I could give you good

news about the prospects for a Tri-State registration. But, Maine has no interest in entering into this agreement so the process has come to a dead end at this time!

The big news for us this

month is our Flea Market & Antique Snowmobile Show. This year it will be at the corner of North Mast and Parsons Drive. If you’re heading north on South Mast, it’s on the right across the street from the far end of the Westlawn Cemetery.

Your help is needed to make

this event a success so please think about making some time to help out that day parking cars, working the Cook Shack, selling tickets, setting up/tearing down, helping with the Antique Show. Call Buddy (529-3408) if you have any questions or are able to help out.

secure poker dates at Lakes Region Casino again! They only had one day for the 2015 season, December 31st, however, we have also been given our dates for 2016. They will be January 1-10, 2016, so we will have a continuous 11 day run of fundraising dates!
