A lot has happened since the first report of a Snowmobile Association of Massachusetts Youth Club. Here is an update.
The idea of the Youth Council was overwhelmingly supported by the SAM delegates at the November meeting. A sign-up sheet was distributed for the delegates to see if youths in their clubs are interested in joining.
The Youth Council will hold their first meeting on January 6th, 2011 promptly at 7:00pm at the City Place Inn, 711 Dwight Street in Springfield (directions). It is anticipated that we will have Room 1109 available for us to use. The meeting will last for one hour. After that, those who wish to remain will be brought up to the Summit Room on the 12th floor where the SAM meeting will already be in progress. That meeting ends at 9pm.
The Youth Council will have a LOT to do in a short amount of time (there’s only three meetings before the SAM Annual meeting in April). The formation, organization and mission need to be formalized and finalized. That’s pretty ambitious, but I’m confident we can get it done. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what today’s youth can do with this opportunity; we hope you’re just as excited!
If you know others who may be interested, please contact your club delegate or SAM
Thanks, happy holidays, and hopefully we’ll see you in January!
