- Remember to get your membership in early to avoid the rush in the event of an early trail opening!
- Starting new accounting fiscal year on July 1 so last year 2021/22 accounting will appear strange due to no fair revenue. Future years however should make sense and follow the membership year.

Council Report:
- Eric reported that the county will be transferring our groomer funding of trail 12 to the Stower trail. This results in an overall gain of 5 miles.
