Review of Hobo Day Parade—Thank you to those who helped, especially Kali Lamp who drew the penguin.  A great time was had by all.  We ordered 1,000 magnets and distributed some of them during the Hobo Day parade. 

New Business:

Parade of Lights—Another opportunity for fun!  Dakota Drifters is registered for the parade.  The parade is December 6th, a Thursday evening.  The theme is Hollywood Christmas.  Ideas?  Safety trailer? Groomer? Signs?  M/S Sean/Cody to have the groomer in the parade.  Motion passed.  Those interested in helping decorate should meet Sunday, December 2nd @ 5pm at Meesters.  Kali offered to be a resource to spearhead the ideas for the parade.  Line up at 6:15-6:30 @ ULC and parade starts at 7pm.

Trail Marking—Bo is getting emails all the time that trail marking is getting done.  We have a request for help for 77 to the interstate past farmers implement.  Ray and Craig would also like help.  It was stated that marking trail is the clubs biggest fundraiser and it is important to have fun. 

Christmas Party—2nd Wednesday @ Prairie Lanes.    M/S Dan/McLane up to $250 on door prizes for Christmas party, motion passed. 

Other:

Decision on the trailer for the state is due by December 15.  Logo is 18 inches.

New snowmobile trail maps are available.

Craig mentioned doing a Rapid City/up north trip and reminded club members that he would be happy to coordinate.  If it is going to happen, we need to pick a weekend as they are filling up.
