November 2011 Newsletter
We hope all enjoyed last season as it was a superior year with plenty of snow.
Our hopes are that this season we will see just as much wonderful white stuff on the ground!!
Our first General Meeting of the season will take place on Saturday November 19, 2011.
It is a Wine and Cheese meeting beginning at 7:00pm at the Alberta Beach Seniors Center.
It will be a wonderful opportunity to come out and meet your fellow riders and sit in on the meeting so your voice can be heard. A couple items on the Agenda are dates for club rides and our new trail map we are currently in the process of designing.
For anyone who needs directions to the Senior Center please contact Arlene at arliemac@hotmail.com
Future tentative General Meeting dates are Jan 28th and March 10th 2012
Thank you to all who attended the ASA show and purchased their trail pass and club membership. For those of you who were lucky enough to have a sketch done by our artist we hope you enjoyed seeing yourself immortalized as an Alberta Beach Snowmobile Club Rider!
For anyone still needing their annual ASA trail passes the trail pass price increases by $10.00 January 1, 2012
from $60.00 per sled to $70.00 per sled. Passes will be available for purchase at our General Meeting.
Enclosed are the 2011/2012 Season Membership Forms. Once completed you can bring them to the General Meeting on
November 19th, Ecko Marine, the Darwell store, mail it back to Box 329 Alberta Beach or email the membership form along with credit card information for billing to marlene2@xplornet.com
We have also included the Ski-doo Million $ Club form. BRP is donating $10.00 for every form submitted to the Snowmobile Club listed on the form. All forms have to be in to a BRP dealer by November 15, 2011. We realize that our general meeting is after this date, but if you are able to fill out the form and send it in to us prior to November 15th we would greatly appreciate it as the extra funds will help keep our groomer up and running all winter long!!
With the production of a new trail map we are currently selling advertising space on the map.
If you are interested in having your company name visible to hundreds of sledders on our professionally done trail map please contact Marvin at (780) 945-3760 or email marv@xplornet.com
