Topics discussed at this months meeting included:
- SVTR.NET Website
It was decided that the new website (this site) will be put on hold until the existing site expires in June ’09. The current site maintainer will be notified of this plan and the option offered to give up the current position prior to June. If the current maintainer opts to give up the site prior to June then this site will go live before then.

The Joy Brook ridge replacement is on hold until spring ’09. More planning work and research needs to be done before we proceed. VASA funding for the bridge project is in question at this time.
- Donation to Newbrook Fire Dept.
As motion was passed to make a $400 donation to the fire dept. for the use of their facilities as our meeting location. This amount is up from $300 donated last year.

We have received the name of a federally certified ATV instructor that is interested in helping us with future training events. We talked about doing several more events during the 2009 season. One or more of these events may include training for the Newbrook Fire Dept and possibly some other depts as well.
