Old Business:
Todd and Roger attended the last Selectman’s meeting. They presented out case for road access in the Waterboro area so ATV’s can get from one trail to another due to landowners closing off their properties. A large attendance who live on East Shore Road are very opposed to having ATV’s riding on the road. Todd and Roger have a meeting August 3rd for further discussion. Todd has asked for Club members to attend these meeting to show our support for road access. Todd will post on our website and face book the dates and times of the meetings.
Jim Laflame is working on the dump truck. Todd has given him the go ahead since we had the money donated from the Saco ATV Club.

A couple of ideas were discussed on raising money for the club. With the ATV out, one idea was to put a Kids Electric ATV in the Old Homes Day parade and then raffle it off. Motion to purchase an electric kids ATV from one of the toys store by Gayle, second by Doug, all approved.
The other idea was to have a Poker Ride; the course would be designed so that it would be a large circle with check points. Cost would be $15.00 for 5 cards and $10.00 each for 2 additional cards. If there should be a tie with the card hands, a cut of the deck would determine the winner. Our first POKER RIDE will be August 15, 2015. Stay tuned for more details.
Posters were handed out for the Jamboree; please get them into the store windows. Todd is also going to post the poster to the Web page.
