TAKE NOTE:
Earlier this year, the New York State Snowmobile Association voted to increase minimum club membership dues from $30 to $40. The $10 increase includes $5 for NYSSA—its first dues increase in nearly 50 years!—to help cover rising insurance costs for clubs statewide and to protect the landowners who generously allow snowmobiling on their private property. The remaining $5 stays with our club which is used to support trail-producing clubs through our "Clubs Helping Clubs" program.
Your club membership still includes a discounted DMV registration voucher, reducing the registration fee from $135 to $65 for each snowmobile registered in your name.
Thank you for your continued membership. We look forward to seeing you this winter!

Big thanks to our very own club president, John Occhino , for sponsoring the New York State Snowmobile Association Friday Night Social. He is also teaching the Club Officer Duties class and the Quickbooks Review class at the Annual Forum this weekend. Thanks John!
