Here we are at the end of the season again!  All we can do now is look forward to next winter and hope for more winter-like conditions.  All in all, it’s been a great season;   with a late start to winter, we finally got snow - light and fluffy snow that was difficult to keep in the trails, but conditions have steadily improved and the riding has been great this month.

The lobster and steak dinner was a huge success, as usual.  Everyone appeared to have a great time and the food was delicious.  Harvey Chesley, Director of Pine Tree Camp and President of the Maine Snowmobile Association, was present at the dinner.  Harvey did a presentation of what Pine Tree Camp is all about and explained some of their goals for the future.  For those of you that don’t know, Pine Tree Camp, located in the Belgrade Lakes area of Maine, is a great place for children and young adults who are physically disabled to go and enjoy some of the activities that the rest of us take for granted.   If anyone would like more information on the Camp, you can write to Pine Tree Society, PO Box 518, Bath, Maine 04530.  After Harvey’s presentation, we “passed a hat” and collected a good sum of money to donate to the camp projects.  A 50/50 raffle was held at the dinner and was won by Robert Winsor who donated half of his winnings to Pine Tree Camp and the other half to the Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club.  Harvey exclaimed that he has never seen such a generous bunch of people as we have in our club. 

The March Easy Bucks drawing was won by Monika Taylor and Frank Cerminara, both of Rangeley. 

The April membership meeting will be held on April 14^th at the Episcopal Church Hall on Main Street in Rangeley.  The dinner will be potluck.  If you plan to attend, please bring a dish to share with others.  Dinner will be at 5:30 and the meeting will follow.  Please keep in mind that the May meeting is nomination of officers and Board of Directors and the June meeting is election. 

At the March meeting, we made an announcement that there would be no April newsletter, however, PJ’s Powersports, the new Rangeley Arctic Cat dealer, has arranged an event that we felt you might want to attend.  The information is enclosed with this newsletter. [3/28 - The Radar Run for this event has been cancelled due to the ice melting - Webmaster]

There is still excellent riding in the Rangeley area.  As usual with Spring riding, please watch for water holes and bare spots.  Hope you can get here for one more ride!

Until next month………    club secretary
