Our Eastman Annual General  Meeting, AGM, will be held on April 8, 2018, at Le Club Les Bles d’Or, 1254 Dawson Road in Lorette. More info will follow. This year we are looking for nominations for five positions on the Eastman Board. The positions are President, Vice President, Secretary, Trail Director and Director. Its important to get involved in our club and we appreciate all the work the volunteers do all year. Please consider being nominated for one of these positions and keep our club exciting and a leader in the ATVing in Manitoba. New Board members are important to continue the great work that has already been accomplished. If you are interested please contact Terry at tkaluzny@live.com.

We have a booth at the Manitoba Outdoor Show, Red River Exhibition Place on Feb 9 – 11, 2018. If you are in Winnipeg drop by for a visit. If you would like to volunteer some time at the booth and promote our club contact Gary at garydg@mymts.net. We would love to see you there!

ATVMB are having their AGM on March 17 in Ile des Chenes. This is an important meeting as this is where we vote for the ATVMB Board members who represent ATVing in Manitoba and are our liaison with the Manitoba Government. As ATVing in Manitoba is growing it is extremely important to get involved and let your voice be heard on where the future of your sport is heading.

Last year we were considering not having a Ride for Mom this year. We heard from our riders that they wanted to have a ride this year so we are doing our preparations for the 2018. We decided to try a different format so we hope you like it. The Ride for Mom will be held on June 9th. See more information coming in February.

This is just the beginning of the year. We would like to continue our monthly rides in the summer and would appreciate ideas for rides and more importantly if you would like to lead a ride let us know. Also don’t forget to renew your membership!

So watch in February for information on the 2018 RFM and please give it some thought about the Board positions.

Thanks Jo

Vice President, Eastman ATV Association
