As mentioned before the three workshops; SNARS, State Rec Council Members and Club-To-Club Idea exchange, repeat 1 pm and 2:30 pm. There is also a DNR Safety Recertification Class. The AWSC Fall Workshop is Oct. 27th & 28th in Appleton. Registration is $25. (See the schedule in the AWSC magazine.)

SNARS – The County has not done much yet in regard to implementing SNARS. The marked up map from March so please mark your clubs trail grooming boundaries on the map. Trail numbering will use U for unfunded trails and F for funded trails. Club members and managers will need a valid email address for entry into SNARS. (Club workers do not.) The county needs to set up the trails on their end first before the clubs can enter any grooming. Note there new groomer power unit levels with rate increases for some levels as well as a worker rate increase.

Trail and Grooming Report
Pre-season – Trails are closed.

Old Business
Map boxes could be at the next meeting.

New Business
Jason presented reasons for the Alliance having its own address for example a P.O. Box. A 6×4 is $40, 6×6 is $66 and 6×12 is $128 for a six month term. A motion was made, seconded and passed to have a 6×6 P.O. Box at the 20th Street Oshkosh Post Office.
