Those of us who were able to attend November's meeting decided that
the vote for an equipment trailer does not include any kind of price
tag or specs on the trailer. If you vote "yes", it doesn't mean
that you're voting for an $800.00 or an $800,000.00 piece of
equipment. Your vote means that you would like the club to purchase
a trailer to store equipment in. If the club vote comes out as yes,
a committee will be formed to look at our options and how much each
of those options will be. Another vote will be taken at that time
that will include price tag, trailer brand, trailer length etc. If
the club votes "no", the idea is dropped.
Also, Carla Stuart has very graciously donated $600.00 through her
mitten sales to the club. She has asked that all of this money be
used towards purchasing equipment. She has estimated another
$150.00 being brought in from the upcoming Bozeman trial. If we
vote to buy a trailer, we aren't going to be draining the equipment
resources as we will have this donated fund also to draw from.
I appreciate the questions that are being asked. Just reminds me
that people are thinking before voting. If you have any more please
feel free to contact me.
Thanks everybody.
