A word from the President
Hi snowmobilers! Things are still coming
together for the year. We have a change to our
application. NSC will no longer be offering the
MSA membership option since there is no longer
a discount to join MSA through the club. Last year I believe we only had
five members join MSA via the club membership and one of them was
me. This change will not affect most of you. I did order my trail permits
through MSA when I sent in my dues. I am one step closer to being ready
to go ride.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at our up-coming events. The
Northside Snowmobile Club Halloween party and General Membership
meeting is just around the corner! Come on out and enjoy the afternoon
with food and festivities.
Don’t forget the trail cleaning weekend coming up as well as the safety
and etiquette classes. NSC trail stickers are ordered and will be available
at the Halloween party/General Membership meeting. The applications
received thus far will get stickers mailed back to you the week of the 23rd.
Think snow!

Trail Maintenance
Our first trail maintenance will be Nov. 4th and 5th. We

and come help get the trails ready for the coming snow!
To the left is a map of the meeting location and where
to park.
If you have any questions please give me a call.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Land Acquisition
Northside Club members,
Welcome to a new snow season! Six weeks from
now [Dec. 1] hopefully we will be enjoying the great
outdoors as we ride the club trails. Remember 4 inches
of snow is required and frozen ground before you
venture out. We are working to get the necessary
permissions from land owners. More than forty land
owners are to be contacted each year. Clearing and
marking trails is next up. All of this requires time and commitment by workers. Pitch in and get involved! We
have fun as we work together. My primary
responsibility is land acquisition but we all
wear many hats and strive to get the work done
to ensure the trails are ready before the snow
falls.
See you on the next work day.

Safety
This year’s the snowmobile safety class will be held
on December 9th from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the Marshall
Regional Law Enforcement Center located at 714 North
US 27, Marshall, MI. The class is open to all ages and
there is no charge for the class. Students must be 12 years
of age or older to receive their certificate after passing the
course. Please call the Calhoun County Sheriffs
Department to register during business hours so we can
get a approximate count of students. The phone number is 269-781-0880. This course is also on-line but there
is a charge after passing to print the certificate. The NSC board also talked about offering a Trail Etiquette
discussion meeting on Saturday, November 25th at the Eagles on North Capital from 4:00pm to 5:30pm if we
have enough interested members. If you would like to attend please call me at my shop 8:30am to 5:30pm
Monday-Friday or 8:30am to Noon on Saturday @ 269-781-3951 or Terry @ 269-209-2630 by November
18th. Ten or more wanting to attend would be good.
Thanks , Greg

Publicity/
Newsletter
Looking through
some old newsletters
I can tell you we have
come a long way with
our printed materials.
With the help of a
computer and printer
my job is much easier
then what past public-
ity chairs had to do to
create a newsletter.
Old newsletters were
typed using a
typewriter and then
ads were taped to the
typed articles and
photocopied. This
started in the early to
mid 80’s from what I
can tell. Back in the
70’s it was just a
plain typed paper!
When I was browsing
though the past news-
letters I came across
this gem. Most people
who have been
around the club
recognize Larry
Crandall. He has been
involved, I believe,
since the club
started . This is an
article from the July
newsletter, 1987.
Enjoy!
Happy Riding!
