Welcome to the new SVTR Board members

As of the April 17, 2021 meeting, I have stepped down as President of the SVTR after serving since January of 2017. The SVTR board is now as follows:

  • George Barton – President.
  • Bruce LaBounty – Acting Vice President.
  • Melissa LaBounty – Treasurer.
  • Carol Earle – Secretary.

George has been serving as my Vice President and stepped up to take the presidency. Bruce has been a long time member of the SVTR and has been very instrumental in building out our trail system. Melissa, also a long time member, continues in her role as Treasurer and was previously our Secretary. Carol has been with the SVTR for a number of years and has stepped up to fill the Secretary position replacing Lloyd who has been Acting Secretary for the last year.

I am proud to have been involved with the SVTR and am comforted to know that the club is in good hands with this new board. I will continue to be an SVTR member for the foreseeable future and will remain as the webmaster for as long as needed.

Thank you to all.

-Bill Ortlieb
Webmaster, SVTR

MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT: April 17, 2021

Hello SVTR friends and members,

We are planning a club meeting at our Jamaica trailhead at 1PM on Saturday April 17.

Agenda items:

  • Elections for President and Secretary positions.
  • VASA News
  • Club News
  • Trail Expansion
  • Event and Work Party planning

I will be stepping down as President of the club at this meeting.  Our Vice President, George Barton, has been nominated to take my place.  We are seeking additional nominations for president.  If George takes the president position we will be looking for nominations for an acting Vice President.  Lloyd Church is currently Acting Secretary and has indicated that he would like to hand the role to someone else.  We are seeking nominations for Secretary.

Memberships will be available before and after meeting.  If planning to join, please bring your valid state registration for your machine and cash or check.

If you have already got your TAD or are planning on joining at the meeting, feel free to bring your machines to ride after the meeting but beware, we have not been out yet and do not know if the trails are passable at this time.  We may encounter trees across the trails, washouts and other impassable conditions.

COVID 19 precautions:

We ask that everyone socially distance and wear masks when in proximity to others not in your family group.  Please bring camp chairs if you have them.  We have several picnic tables available but not enough for everyone to properly distance without additional seating.

Meeting will be rain or shine.  We will meet inside the barn in the event of rain.

We look forward to seeing you all again and to a great new riding season!

-Bill Ortlieb
President, SVTR
