There was some discussion of setting up a virtual meeting system using webcams for some of the VASA meetings. The subject was dismissed due to costs.

VASA has decided to keep the annual meeting in January.

New Business:
Jon Muise suggested that the SVTR host a ride for the disabled. It was agreed that this would be a good idea and will be pursued.
One of out land owners suggested a cowboy race and offered to sponsor trophies. The seemed to be some interest in this.
Jon suggested that the SVTR put together an internet based ATV usage survey that could be sent to all of our members so that we may collect some meaningful statistical data to use in our mission to open up connector trails across state lands. The webmaster is currently working on making the survey happen.
