Groomer Building Project – The lease agreement with the County for a parcel of land in the Sports Complex was agreeable, however construction estimates came in higher than expected exceeding our original budget. Local banks are not willing to make a construction loan for a building on leased land so back to square one and look for land to purchase.

Elections Announcement – Three board seats Keith Miles, Rob Yon and Art Fisette will be up for election at the General Membership meeting December 3, 2015. If, you would like to nominate someone for any of these seats mail that information to AVSA, PO Box 1176, Grayling, MI 49738 or in person prior to the December 3, 2015 General Membership Meeting.

Trail Maintenance – Brushing and signing has been completed. When the crews are signing it looks like a parade coming down the trail. A tractor for auguring holes, a pickup with signposts, finally the truck with signs and we need many different signs. There are three major reasons we need to replace some signs annually on the trails delamination, theft, and vandalism. Seems people feels signs are targets!
