MFR CLUB UPDATES

On Friday, 8/18 several members worked at the Trig’s Brat Hut to raise money for the Never Forgotten Honor Flight.  We are very proud to announce that we once again raised $750!!.  Between the two fundraisers (the first one was on Veterans Day 2022), we have been able to help 3 veterans get to Washington DC!!

Just a reminder to renew your club membership in advance of the snowmobiling season so there are no delays when the time comes to purchase your snowmobile trail passes.

The first club meeting of the season is on October 18, 2023 at Keith Warning’s building on Highway 70 and Camp Pinemere Road in Minocqua.  More details will be sent as the date gets closer.

Several area leaders have started brushing the trails.  Keep an eye out for announcements regarding upcoming trail workdays.

Maintenance shop workdays will resume on Wednesday mornings following Labor Day.

Raffle tickets for the 2-17-2024 snowmobile raffle are now available.  Specific details will be sent out over the next few weeks.
