A word from the President

Things have been coming together smooth in preparation for the opening

of the trails again this year. We just had the Halloween party and it was

great to see everyone again and meet a few new members. Even some

new land owners! Kim did a great job with all the kids games and food .

The kids and adults all had a great time as usual, Thank you Kim!! We

had quite a few people register during the party and pick up there stickers

so they will be ready to ride. If you have not sent in your membership yet

be sure to do so before December 1st. We will need some help cleaning

and posting signs on the trails again this year and have a trail cleaning

date set for November 7th and 8th. We will meet at the Red Barn at

9:00am. If you’re not sure were the red barn is there is a map on page two

of the newsletter. I can’t be there Saturday but plan to be back to help

Sunday. Call TJ or myself if you want more information. We are also

looking for a new Board member to fill the nominations position. Ed

Langdon had to step down due to a new job. Nominations is a very easy

position and is a good way to get involved without a large time commit-

ment. Come to one of our board meeting or give me a call if you have in-

terested.

See you on the trail soon good luck to all the deer hunters.

Snowmobile Trail Permits (taken from the DNR website:)

In addition to registration of a snowmobile in Michigan, or from another state

or province, a person who desires to operate a snowmobile in this state needs to

purchase a snowmobile trail permit sticker. The snowmobile trail permit sticker

is valid for 1 year which begins October 1 and ends September 30 of the follow-

ing year.

Snowmobile trail permits are available at the following:

Online @ the DNR E-License website-Your sticker will be mailed to you within 7-10 days

or

Through the MSA (Michigan Snowmobile Association)

or

From DNR Customer Service Centers

Or

From DNR Hunting and Fishing License Vendors

Snowmobiles are exempt from the Trail Permit Sticker if they are:

Operated exclusively on lands owned or under the control of the owner, used entirely in a safety education pro-

gram conducted by a certified snowmobile safety instructor, exclusively operated in a special event of limited

duration which is conducted according to a prearranged schedule under a permit from the governmental unit

having proper jurisdiction or a snowmobile used solely for transportation on the frozen

surface of public waters for the purpose of ice fishing.

Display of Trail Permit Sticker:

The trail permit sticker needs to be permanently affixed to the forward half of the snow-

mobile directly above or below the headlight.

Publicity/Newsletter

We have had a few cold days to give us a taste of the weather to come, hopefully! Although, it looks like the

meteorologists are forecasting a warm up for the first part of November. This is not ideal but maybe it will

make it easier for those last minute preparations we all need to do before the snow flies.

Time is growing short so make sure you check out your sleds and get your memberships in BEFORE Dec 1st

for the early bird discount. Membership forms are included in the newsletter and also on the Northside

Snowmobile Club Facebook Page. Our website is currently down for the moment but Jason is looking for a

new hosting service that is more reasonable in cost. Again if you are Facebook savy and wish to save the club

some money in printing and postage, you can choose to

opt out a paper copy of the newsletter. Just look for

the“opt out” checkbox on the bottom of the application. If

you would prefer to have the newsletter emailed to you

just please specify that in the bottom of the application as

well. If you still wish to receive your newsletter via the

mail, we can still print and mail you a copy.

Also remember your state trail permits! The State trail

permit is not required by the Northside Snowmobile Club,

but is by the DNR. If they catch you without one you will

get a ticket.

Happy Riding!
