CFW Club Meeting 4/12/16
Membership Report:
Steve reports that we have 42
members as of our last meeting, 34 of whom are present at the meeting. We have
12 prospective members. Ryan Seamster was eligible to be voted in and was
present at the meeting. He was voted in unanimously.
Treasurer’s Report:
Chrystie reports that our
checking has $3282.99; $1500 of that is for land use (from grants), leaving $1782.99
in the general fund. Chrystie needs Tony and Don to set a time to go to the
bank with her to get their names on the checking account signature card.
Next Meeting:
The next club meeting, 5/10/16,
will be at the Valley Hi Golf Course restaurant again. That will be our last
indoor meeting. We move to Bear Creek Park in June.
Land Use:
Tim gave a lengthy update about
where we are with the desired China Wall updates; nothing has been decided as
of the management plan yet. The Forest Service is still figuring things out,
and some decisions should be made in July.
It was reported that the cable
near box canyon has been cut and people are going down to the river there. Tim
will check with the Forest Service to make sure we can repair things that have
already been in place, such as the cable.
Brendan will keep tabs on COHVCO, Will to report on Tread
Lightly, and Howard will keep an eye on Blue Ribbon. They will all work with
Tim to keep the club updated.
Christmas for Kids:
Christie and Chrystie haven’t had
a chance to talk yet. We have chosen to use the DHS number for this year and
see how that works out. We will need a new logo to remove the “Southern
District” info. Will Miller, Wayne McGee, and Heather Bartlett offered to help
out with the planning of the CFK events. Christie advises that she will need
lots of help to plan events and that she is going to try to get involvement
from other clubs and even facebook groups that are community minded.

planning and actual running of the poker run. Volunteers for trip
leader/tailgunner are Tim, Steve, Chris, Brendan, Robert Blohm, and Leif
Durham. Wayne McGee also volunteers to help do whatever needed.

4/30/16 R&R Offroad Customer
Appreciation at Mini Moab- club running the grill for donations. Don will cook,
with Tony and Steve as help/backup. James will be bringing the food and the
grill. James says he has some Teraflex items for raffle as well as a 50 inch
light bar.
OHV stickers: Although not
required, the $25.25 for the sticker goes to support our trails, so we
encourage everyone to have one.
Size of Runs and a plan of
action:
Tony asked for ideas on how to
split up groups or manage group sizes. We discussed running multiple trails,
having more trail options for people, and the fact that the same five or six
people are leading all the trails. We need our club members to start leading
trails. The board is available to help them get set up and provide necessary
guidance and paperwork.
