Lifeflight Insurance Update
May 19, 2013

The downloadable form is in a word document. To print I used the little gear in the upper right of internet explorer or press the Ctrl and p at the same time on mine it brings up an error that part of the file is out of the print area but it prints fine on mine. Sorry best I can do right now.

Hello All: When I first sent this out following the April board meeting I had many responses and what appeared to be high interest. However I have received one application back. Please contact your club presidents and secretaries s and ask them to let their members know that if they choose to take advantage of this offer the club secretaries will have to send the information out again (hopefully they did this once) and I will need to get the applications back right away. We can tie this in to our OSSA membership year. July 1 to June 30th but I will need to commit to this program soon. We need at least a dozen members to sign up.

 Applications need to be completed and sent to OSSA along with the check and OSSA will write one check to Life Flight. Renewal will be the anniversary date of July 1, 2014. This is a service offered to our members. There is no money to OSSA.

If you have questions please contact me or contact Cindy McGrath cmcgrath@lifeflight.org

July 20th 2013 - Meet at Clubhouse (9am) for work party!

April 28, 2013

I was wondering if we had enough local interest to purchase Life Flight as a group, I am still gathering information but it seems that we can purchase the flight only insurance for Tollgate at a rate of $45.00 per membership family a year (so we would need 10 familes to commit at $45.00 each). It doesn't appear that they offer ground ambulance for Tollgate at this time but I will try and get that verfied if you are interested use the contact us form and I'll keep you informed as to the progress.

Grooming Update
March 30, 2013

There was no grooming this week due to warm conditions, so grooming for the year is over, as our cut off date for grooming is April 1.  Snowmobiling is still
allowed on all roads, but you have to share the roads with the 4X4's.  The Warming Shelters will be locked up for the year this weekend by Sunday night

Thanks goes out to the groomer drivers this year: 

 Leonard "Buckshot"Carter, Allen Thompson, Gary Wood, Kurt Entze, Larry Mahanna and Gordon Byrnes.  Job well done, guys!  Also, thank you to Tom Walchuk, our driver in training, for helping out for the month of January, through the first week of February.

Grooming Update
March 22, 2013
Grooming has been hit and miss this week due to adverse weather conditions
and warm temperatures.  We did groom Tuesday morning on inner trails from the
store up through Woodland Snopark, and today (Friday) we had a good grooming
day, cold temperatures, and new snow.  We groomed out through Bone Springs, down
through Timothy shortcut, back 6413 to Jubilee Rd, both sides of Jubilee Rd have
been groomed, out to Target Meadows, down to the Chalet, McDougal,
Shumway,Coyote Rd 3719, up through Spout to Woodland Snopark, across the highway
to the top of the hill.  Most trails are in good shape for the weekend.

Grooming Update
March 14, 2013
The grooming report for this week is,  there IS no grooming report!  It has
been warm night and day so we have not been able to do any grooming this week. 
High temperatures have been 45-50 and low temperatures at night have been
33-40.  Hopefully temperatures will cool down next week and we will groom when
we can.  From now on it will be a limited schedule, only doing inner trails as
needed.
