From the Editor: This month starts the new Spotlight member section and I’m

kicking it off with our current president, terry Stoudt. I’m hoping that this will you to get to

know some of our members better and you understand why this is such a great club. I plan is

to spotlight a different member each month.

The December meeting is also when all of the 200 club tickets are due so we can have the

first drawing. If you haven’t turned them in, please bring them to the meeting on Wednesday.

We’ve gotten some snow already this season but unfortunately not enough around here to for

the trails. Let’s hope there’s more on the way. Safety training is this Saturday and the

Vermillion City Hall at 7:30 so come help out if you can. Keep it between the markers and be

safe. Think snow!! Bryan

the December meeting.

2013 Youth Safety Training Saturday December 6 t h, 8:30am – Vermil l ion City Hall

The safety training incorporates a new format this year which eliminate the test and replaces it

with a shorter quiz to allow for a more streamline process. Speakers from Hastings Police, DNS

and fire safety will still be a part as well as up close look at the sleds and the familiar riding

course. If you can help out please meet at 7:30. Good luck to all of those students.
