Happy Easter!
We cannot control Mother Nature! I hope everyone who was impacted by the recent storm is safe and unharmed.
Now that spring is officially here clubs are beginning their plans for improvements on the trails! Maintenance is a year round activity. Join and Volunteer at a club near you or one where you ride.
PSSA has recently lost three members who volunteered for many years in PSSA and PSSA club activities. They are:
- Joseph “Don” Kellner – organized PSSA Snowmobile Tours and displayed at the annual PowerSport Show.
- James “Mac” McCarthy – husband of Linda McCarthy (former PSSA Treasurer). Mac was the “trail boss” for many years at Presque Isle Club and was noted for distributing “Oreo” cookies to the members of the work crews.
- Ed Fiedjaz – Board Member of the Marienville Trail Riders and volunteered for many years on the Allegheny National Forest trails. He was also a faithful groomer operator.
They will be hard to replace. We need people to step up and volunteer in PSSA and the clubs.
The PSSA Annual Membership meeting is on Saturday, May 13, 2017. Information will be shared on the current status of the proposal to increase the registration fee.
Our first educational session will be hosted by Dale Vagts from V & V Insurance. This is the company that covers our umbrella liability insurance for clubs/trails. Club representatives are asked to bring their current policy to the meeting. Dale will discuss issues, concerns and answer questions.
Mike Grant from Snow Trails TV will update the members concerning our Video Project. We are in need of sponsors from the PA Wilds – Benezette/Clearfield/ St. Marys area and Region One in Erie. Contact Lorie Elliott, Grant Administrator for further information.
