Director’s Report
Mike Thoma gave an AWSC update. The Wisconsin Congressional Report is scheduled for April 10th. The AWSC voiced their concerns against extending the Holiday Hunt. The AWSC is increasing the fee for roster updates to $1.50. There were multiple updates from clubs a day last year which were costly.

Map books are being made. Jim Kumbier is checking into getting 12 nameplate placards for the boxes.

New Business
Jeremy from the Neenah Drifters commented VVMapping and the GPS mapping program they have. They have a good representation of our county trails that could be used next year until our clubs can get their own tracks of their trails. Jeremy also brought up that sections trails providing access to sponsors will not be funded under the new program and that some clubs charge business to groom these “spurs”. There was some discussion on what is allowed for signs regarding sponsors. Mike Giese will work with Rob and the county parks department regarding the SNARS program.

Our CD renews in April. There was some discussion about the goal of the CD. It was motioned and approved to renew it again for another 6 months. A longer term or other options may be explored later.

8:20 PM, the motion was made and approved. Next meeting is September 26th, 2017.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paul Villwock
WCSA Secretary
