As of to date, our club has participated in three parades. May 30th, we rode in the Lacona Firemen’s Parade. On June 14th, at 12:00 noon, we rode in the Orwell Old Home Day’s Parade and in the evening of that same day, we rode in the Belleville Firemen’s Parade. Some folks got a little wet at a couple of these parades, but all in all a good time was had by all and your club was well represented. At the Lacona Firemen’s Parade, David Beyer (aka – The Cowboy) even had his trailer loaded up with six four-wheelers and we had our Club Banner displayed down the side of his trailer. Our float looked real impressive. We still have more parades planned for this summer in both Oswego and Jefferson Counties. Keep your eyes open on our upcoming rides/events section of your newsletter for all the up to date details. If you’re interested in riding at any of the parades and need more info, you can always contact me at 387-3589 or you can call “The Fab One” at 387-6396. 
          We are still in the process of trying to get Insurance for our club. We have had to put a 
“Hold” on constructing any more trails, due to this issue. We are also still moving forward to try and get more roads opened to ATV use in Jefferson and Oswego Counties. 
           The Brasher Falls Ride is quickly approaching us, so get ready for a fun filled and nice getaway weekend. 
            If anyone would like to put together a ride anywhere in the region and needs to get the word out to our members, just contact ‘The Fabulous One” either by phone or email and he’ll get the word out. Also if you have any news, views or info on club functions let us know and we’ll get the word out for you. Remember this is your club so come on out and enjoy it. 
                                                                                               THANKS

Membership Renewals: We currently have some members who have not renewed as of yet. This may be due to them not receiving our notice or that we may not have received their return, instead. We are listing those members below and if there are any errors on our behalf we would like those members to get in touch with our Membership Coordinator at (315) 387-6396 and we will work them out. 
[Chris Scriber, Pat Ehle & family, Ray & Korleen Gould, Brent Lehman, John Lense, Andy Snyder, Randy Caufield & family, Charles Kelsey, Garry & Robin Benjamin, Ronald Trapiss, Mitchell Lenway, Todd Warner, Shawn & Toni Claflin,Teddy Volkomer, Robert Damuth, Steven & Richard Karrat, Joseph Quinlan, Levi & Jamie Tousant, Dan & Sally Zurenda, Bill Crawford & family] 

The club’s board of officers voted on giving these members one last chance to renew their membership into this club. They have extended their chance to August 1, 2003. These members can still keep their club membership current if and only if they contact our Membership Coordinator to make arrangements for payment at (315) 387-6396 or by email to fabulous1@citlink.net. Or they can send  $15 Single Membership or $25 Family Memberships by check made out to NYTRO of NNY and mail it to us at NYTRO of NNY P.O. Box 355 Mannsville, N.Y. 13661. 

We want to always allow our members the chance to stay with this club, but it would be unfair to the others, who have already paid their re-newels, to allow others to take this long to update their memberships. Please contact our Membership Coordinator on whether or not you plan on staying with this club. THANK-YOU.
