2021 Calendar Raffle Tickets are now available. Because of so many fund raising events cancelled this year due to Covid-19, our ticket sales are even more important for raising money. Let’s make this a great fund raiser again this year. Please contact Bill Lemke for tickets.

Great News! Bill Lemke and Don Schneider will be sharing the Trail Manager duties; Bill Farmer will be heading up the Equipment Manager duties: Steve Wolfe has offered to be available in a Trail Consulting role. “A Big Thank You to these guys for stepping up.”

We are always looking for volunteers for trail work and shop maintenance in fall, winter, and spring. Please reach out to any of our new managers if you are interested in volunteering. There will be work days posted on our Website and Facebook for upcoming work days in the very near future.

Our committee co-chairman, Mr. Bill Lemke is looking into the possibility of the club again doing concessions for the Fall Harley Ride and Minocqua Beef-A-Rama, if these events happen.

In order to proceed with his inquiry, Bill needs to have some idea of the number of volunteers he would have to work.

If you are interested and able to volunteer to work one or both of these functions, please call Bill at 715-432-0998 (cell) or 715-358-6005.

You can also e-mail him at moc.reitnorfnull@ekmelb

Sincerely,

Dave Assmann President
