WEMUC SEEKS FUNDING FROM GARFIELD COUNTY
WEMUC Executive Director Tod Tibbetts is in the process of requesting funding from Garfield County from the 2010 budget. Prospects are good for next year. He will keep members updated on any news.
For the most part WEMUC thrives because of the
generosity of our members. Our biggest annual expense is liability insurance.
During this upcoming 2009-2010 ski season the club plans to purchase a snowmobile for about $3,000. We need our own equipment available in order to keep up a regular grooming schedule during the winter months. We also plan to put up a shed at the trailhead to store the club’s grooming equipment.
Member renewals and donations will help make these dreams become reality.
Communication is also key to our club’s strength. The blog and newsletter are part of our new member outreach. Tod and Peggy Tibbetts welcome member comments & suggestions. Please feel free to contact them by phone or email.
