Month: March 2022
Eastman ATV 2021 AGM
Thank you for your time today, please plan on attending Eastman ATVs AGM
When: Saturday April 9, 2022 10 AM
Where: Le Club Les Bles Dor 1254 Dawson Rd. Lorette Mb.
Why: An AGM is a required part of our constitution, and an opportunity for members to be involved in the process. Our last AGM did not have enough members attending to make quorum so this year we have to approve 2 years. I expect it was because it was at the end of the season instead of the beginning due to COVID. Please take some time out of your Saturday April 9th day so your club can continue.
You need to be a member in good standing to be elected to the board or to vote at the AGM. (Member in good standing means you have paid this years membership)
Please email me back that you plan on attending at info@eastmanatv.com so I can be sure I have enough people to make quorum. Looking forward to seeing you there, come meet your fantastic board.

Eastman ATV 2022 ATV Ride for Mom – Registration – OPEN

Here is your 2022 ATV Ride for Mom day.
On Saturday June 4th, the ride will start east of Marchant MB. There will be signs on the highway and a flag man at the turn off. You will drive until we flag you or you see how the parking is flowing in front of you. Unload, pick up your registration pack, sign the consent form, and enjoy the great scenic trail. It is a gorgeous morning ride, that travels escarpment to low lands and back up to our Eastman staging area!
Lunch break will take place after about 3 hours of riding to lunch stop. “Danny’s Whole Hog” will be serving a few options for lunch. Our sponsors will have equipment on show, which will be mixed with general parking at the lunch area. This will open up the area and give us more freedom to move around.
Remember to bring some cash as:
1) vendors may have some product for sale,
2) 50/50 tickets will be for sale, and
3) Eastman ATV will have ATV Ride for Mom garments on sale.
The lunch break will also include music, and ATV talk, along with myself “talking up” our sponsors. I will have a few guest speakers again, informal but worthwhile. The ride back will be somewhat shorter, but still a good ride. We have a new version of the “Pink Picture Frame Photo”. It now includes your machine in the photo! I know it’s going to be a great experience this year and hope to see you there.
Please book before June 2, to make it easier for volunteer leaders to make their plans. The more we can plan in advance, the better the event we can deliver. We continue to learn each year on ways to improve the event for you, the rider. Please register online ASAP, as June 4th is soon approaching. We, the volunteers, appreciate it if you can register online well before the day of the event. It is a rain or shine ride, so please don’t wait to see what the weather has in store for you. Just be ready to go, everybody’s going! Plan on only bringing what you need for the morning, and afternoon. As always, this ride group has been amazing with “pack it in, pack it out”: (take out whatever you brought into the trail & area). Please be aware that on June 3, the price will increase on all registrations.
Wear Pink! “Pink your Ride” ATV Ride for Mom brings awareness and funding for Breast Cancer from Cancer Care Manitoba. Enjoy the opportunity to be flamboyant.
One small request, please; When you ask your friends to join you for The ATV Ride for Mom, please encourage them to make a pledge to Cancer Care Manitoba. Raising money for Cancer Care Manitoba, in the fight against breast cancer, will turn an enjoyable ride day into a fabulous ride day. After all, that is what this day is all about. Making a pledge is easily accomplished at the same site that you use to register for the ride. 100% of the Pledges go to Cancer Care Manitoba.

Eastman ATV is growing every year. If you have missed a few years we encourage you to come back. Read below: we want this organization to be what you want it to be. Come help guide your club into the super club it’s becoming.
Volunteers
Some ATV organizations have had challenges because of Covid. Eastman ATV has had challenges too, but we are increasing in numbers and expect further growth this year. As we expand, we recognize we need some talented people to help us. Come and be a part of a successful team, driven by a consensus board, that makes it work well. We have asked for help with IT and we have very skilled volunteers. We asked for a photo/ video support person and now have a member who stepped up. Thank you Eastman ATV, What a very impressive community of support we have here!
I have one other request for help; regarding merchandise, like T-shirts, hoodies and hats. The role could easily be divided into three parts depending on who wants to do what.
Person 1.) Distribution of sales, collection of payments. All offline at rides you attend.
Person 2.) Taking orders, keeping track of all orders and monies collected.
Person 3.) Managing online stores for garments. The division of roles is very flexible. This could be one person who does it all, or two people who split it ,or three people, as mentioned above.
