October 2012

10/1/2012

 
Hello Roach Riders, 
The weather is starting to get cool and the snow flurries have begun, the last storm left a light covering of white.  Hopefully these early storms are just the beginning of a great season!
Usually, October is a quiet month for club news, but this year we have four important pieces of information to share;
  • First, we are excited to congratulate Marie Candeloro, who has recently been appointed by the Commissioner to the Snowmobile Advisory Committee.  Marie has accepted her appointment and she will begin working immediately.  Thank you, Marie, for working so hard and volunteering your time to improve our trail system.
  • Second, we want all members to know that we have received notice that the State has completed their investigation into the conflict that took place last March.  We were informed that individual involved was reprimanded for his actions but that the details of the reprimand would be kept private because it was an employment action.  There are still a few unanswered questions but, we would really like to thank all of those club members who took the time to write letters and make calls, your involvement made a difference.
  • The third issue that we are facing is a cut to our funding.  We were notified recently that the overall budget for grooming has been cut 10% and there will be some very big changes to how these funds are distributed.  Traditionally, we have received the funding through an annual contract.  The proposed changes distribute funds based on an individual hour of service.  The jury is still out on how this funding change will affect the club.  We hope to learn more at a meeting on 10/16/12.  All Groomers from the Unorganized Northern Piscataquis County region will be attending to learn more about this funding change.  We will have an update on this issue at the annual meeting in November.
Finally, if you have not renewed your membership, it’s time.   If you need a copy of the membership form you can print a copy of the membership application from the website.
