[Cheryl]

THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, MARCH 18TH, 7:30 P.M. AT THE CLARYVILLE FIRE HALL.

WE WILL BE RECAPPING THE POKER RUN, PLANNING AN OPEN HOUSE FOR THE NEW RESCUE SLED THAT HAS BEEN ORDERED. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH THE OPEN HOUSE, OR HAS IDEAS, PLEASE CONTACT CHERYL MUTHIG AT 845-292-4013.

THE POKER RUN WAS A GREAT SUCCESS! THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL, IF WARM. EVERYONE ENJOYED THE RIDING, AND REFRESHMENTS SOLD OUT! WE SOLD 115 POKER HANDS AND THERE HAD TO BE AN ESTIMATED 80 - 90 SLEDS. LOTS OF LOCAS SHOWED UP THIS YEAR, AS WELL AS OUT-OF-TOWNERS! WE SAW SOME NEW FACES AND SOME REPEATERS! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AT 8 A.M. TO HELP WITH SET-UP - THINGS WENT VERY FAST! ALSO THANKS TO THE FELLOWS WHO MANNED THE STATIONS, THE "BREAK-DOWN" CREW, AND ADEN NIGHT RIDERS FOR THE FOOD!! IT WASW A WONDERFUL EVENT.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL!

CHERYL MUTHIG, SEC.
