april 30th All ATV’S Need to have spark arrestors. This will be Mandatory!! Poker Run Dates April 11, 2009 May 24, 2009 July 4, 2009 September 6, 2009

Hurry and get you ticket for the 50/50. We will be selling $1200 in tickets. The winner will get $599 we have over $900 sold already. We have a nice electric winch that will be raffled at Easter. A very nice quilt was donated and will be raffled this summer. We have purchased a Garmin Etrex H GPS that will be raffled Memorial Day. We are going to have a personal Ice maker to raffle on Labor Day. We have selected Trail # 117 to be raffled this year. All raffle tickets are $1 or 6 for $5. We have 23 trails left to be named. Once we have them all named we will be making a new map and copies will be available for purchase. Fogey Helicopter Landing Pad Update The power lines in Fogey have been buried and we are working on getting the concrete pad poured. We can still use donations to cover all the small items for this project. This landing pad will help speed emergency in that area of the Ranch. Hopefully it will never be used but if needed it will be there. If you are interested in purchasing any raffle tickets you can contact the Club at [email protected] or go to www.ranchriders.org you can see pictures of our projects and items for sale on the web site. The ice storm has caused lots of trees and limbs to fall on the trails. It will take lots of work to get them all cleaned up, so remember everyone is a member of the Ranch Riders Club and if you pick up one limb or one piece of trash from a trail you have made a difference. If you are on a trail and see a sign down please pick it up and return it to the office so it can be hung again. Thank you for everyone’s support Ranch Riders Club
