An important message from our president, Brad Jouan...

We had one of our most successful ATV Rallies to date on Family day. The weather was good, although the warm weather we had the week before made for some of the trail to be in poor condition and it forced us to re-route the Rally to not go on the River or the Lake. Rally winners were:
1[SUP]st[/SUP], Tom St. Pierre $1000.00
2[SUP]nd[/SUP], Doug Krasowski $645.00
3[SUP]rd[/SUP], Ryan Mercer $350.00

Thank you to all of the volunteers who with their hard work and dedication made for another successful event. Special thanks also to Wild Country Powersports Barrhead who helped run Checkpoint 2, Rapid Revolutions Edmonton who donated money for Hot Dogs at Checkpoint 3 along with sending Jason out to help, Wayne and Marge Rentz who donated firewood for Checkpoint 3, and Chico’s Vacuum Service LTD Alberta Beach who donated use of a Porta Potty for Checkpoint 3.

Our club is in desperate need of new members and Club Executive Positions need to be filled. As a Club we promote safe and respectful riding within the County, provide safe and respectful trails and areas to ride, act as a spokesperson to the Alberta Government along with the County on any issues, and work with the Alberta Beach Snowmobile Club to further expand trails and keep the trails we have open. We are an active member of the Alberta Off Highway Vehicle Association www.aohva.com with one of our active members sitting on their board of directors.

Please, if you enjoy riding in our area, consider becoming a member. If we cannot fill Executive Positions within our club, there is a very good chance the club may dissipate. With no club acting as a spokesperson to both local and provincial governments, riding areas could go away, all club assets would be liquidated and we would have to work with the AB Government to officially end the club.

Our Annual General Meeting is coming up, Sunday March 26[SUP]th[/SUP] at the Alberta Beach Agliplex at 10AM, we hope to see you there. If every member would volunteer a few hours per year, we could do wonders as a club. Please visit our website www.lacsteanneatvclub.com and feel free to contact us by e-mail to info@lacsteanneatvclub.com with any questions.

Hopefully you are able to get your club numbers up.. Alot of clubs have the same struggle everyone wants to ride but no one wants to join a club. Without the people in the clubs the trails do not get maintained or created as well and all the other things behind the scene.

If all our members volunteered a half day a year, we'd be in pretty good shape. However, we're also in desperate need of some new executives and that is the immediate threat to the club. Even though all the current execs are willing to remain active members of the club, most will be stepping down this year. We even have a couple of execs who have been with the club since the beginning in 2006 - they have worked unbelievably hard and really deserve to be relieved.

Yes I feel your pain. Being director of my club I bet I put in 10-20 hours a week during winter when everyone thinks the club does nothing just getting paperwork done. Not to mention meetings.. it can burn a person out quick.. people just do not realize what's involved...

The AGM is coming up quickly! Since most people in the Edmonton area have probably cancelled their weekend trips to go to the public land closure rally on Saturday, you may as well come out to our AGM on Sunday.

We're going for a club ride in the Alberta Beach area after the meeting and will offer poker hands to anyone who wants them. ...winner take all.
