PLEASE READ THIS LETTER FROM JIM STRICKLAND
This winter has made for some tough
sledding as far as snowmobiling
is concerned. The Hidden Valley Sno Riders have been hard at work and
wait patiently for more snow. We need to be thankful for all the
volunteers that constructed and continue to maintain the trails we
enjoy riding on, especially David Howard who laid out most of our
trails in Lempster. Just as important are all the landowners who let
us ride. Most of the time those volunteers do their work without a
thank you they so much deserve. Snowmobiling is a year around sport
and there are all kinds of work going on like maintenance of grooming
equipment. Thanks to Mark Luth and Tim Hibbard and their helpers.
Mark Luth for his excavator work and Jeremy Kinson hauled the
equipment. Ray Lagasse for hauling stone. We have operators like Ken
Dumont, Travis Dalling, Stephani Lazzaro, AJ Hooper, Jodi Fulton, Tim
Hibbard, Mark Luth and John Thompson to smooth out our trails. Peter
and Sherri Hopkins, Jeremy Kinson, Ben Bachand, Chris Hibbard, Aaron
Hibbard and Ricky Davis have taken the Groomer Safety Awareness
Program this year. Herve Ferland, Peter and Gregg Hopkins, Toni
Davis, Noah Michard, Ivan Kilchewski and Craig Richards have worked
on clearing trees on our trails. We need club officers and directors
to lead us on and represent us at meetings at the New Hampshire
Snowmobile Association. We have the board of directors and Gregg
Hopkins - President, Peter Hopkins – VP, Lisa Hopkins- Secretary,
and Scott Chase - Treasurer who cares for our funds, membership and
roadside pickup. Keith McKane is our webmaster.
I am sure I missed someone but hope
they will continue to volunteer to keep our club and trails going.
Special thanks to m y wife Pat who has been at my side throughout
this journey.
