LANDOWNERSThe St. Germain Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club trail sy<strong>st</strong>em encompassesmore than 100 miles of groomed trails. Our trailscross public and private land, and without the generous supportof landowners we wouldn't have the wonderful trail sy<strong>st</strong>emthat we have.Access to private land is a privilege, not a right. It is criticalthat we respect the property that we are privileged to use.That means <strong>st</strong>aying on marked trails, not littering, and keepingnoise levels down when passing near residences. Weneed to remember that our actions affect everyone whowants to use private land for recreation.The St. Germain Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club wishes to expressits thanks to the gracious landowners who allow us to ride ontheir property.

Candidate StatementsPresident—Richard P. PolaskiWell, I’m coming to the end of my fir<strong>st</strong> year as Presidentof a fine organization. I mu<strong>st</strong> have done something rightas I have not been impeached, disbarred or assassinated,or whatever they do nowadays. This has been a greatlearning experience and I am thankful for the assi<strong>st</strong>anceof a fine Board of Directors & Officers who have kept meon the <strong>st</strong>raight and narrow.The Board and I have handled a number of significant issuesduring this pa<strong>st</strong> year that have had a positive impacton the <strong>club</strong> as a whole. We would like to keep going inthat direction but can not do it without your support andinput. We do have the large<strong>st</strong> Club in the State of Wisconsinwith some of the fine<strong>st</strong> trails in Northern Wisconsin orfor that fact throughout the State.One portion of my duties as President is to direct fundraisingefforts. Right now we do four events in a short periodof time. The Radar Race/Ice Drags, the Annual VogelGroomer Show, Vintage Race and the Snowmobile Hall ofFame Classic Snowmobile Round-Up. Money brought infrom these events support our grooming efforts, equipmentmaintenance and equipment enhancement. We cannot make a commitment to provide food at these events ifwe can not put together a reliable pool of workers. If itwere not for Gary Jacobi, Paul Bohnen, Tim Gebhardt andhis sons, Jacob & Nathan and a few others the Radar RaceFood Booth would have failed. I know that it’s not pleasantworking outside on the ice in below zero weather ormissing the <strong>st</strong>art of an important Packer game but if weare going to do something lets do it right.I need your help and support to make this Club work andwill again run for the position of President with that under<strong>st</strong>anding.Please find some time to donate to our upcomingefforts and support your Club.President-Elect—Allen M.
