- Paiute Banquet is Sept 14th in Richfield. Come out and support the Paiute Trail. Brody and Phil have tickets.
- Beaver Jamboree is Oct 2-4th in Beaver. Registration is open.
- Blue Ribbone Coalition came and spoke to the club. We had Simone Griffin the Policy Director for BRC talk to us about what they are doing through the courts to help protect access to our trails. Questions were taken and answered. Some key points are that you need to put your comments in. You can do this through BRC and they will ensure that the BLM takes your comments seriously. Get out and ride those trails that are designated to be possibly closed and document your travels. Identify places that have special meaning to your family historically in places that are slated to be closed off to motorized travel. The BLM often does not read all of our comments and in many cases ignores them. New BLM policy is opening up opportunities for groups that are anti motorized to lock up land in large swaths. We need to reach out to our elected officials and encourage them to stop this. Not all of our elected officials are on board. Reach out to our local US Representatives and encourage them to support the BRC and all that they do.
- As a club, we donated $500. As individual club members, we added another $400 to the donation for a total of $900. Thank you CCTB.
Next club meeting is June 20th
