Joel Munson will be going to Dick Knapp’s to work on a grooming policy (on of the requirements from NYSSA). Mark discussed the need to revise the By-Laws. The original by-laws were based on the Whitney Point By-laws and were started so that the BC Sno-Riders could get tax-exempt status. Mark read Article VIII and made a motion that we waive the article for the meeting so that the By-Laws could be changed. Motion was carried and Dick Knapp abstained.
