Hey Y’All:
We have a meeting on the 11. The good people at Wenatchee Power Sports have invited us back. We will get started at 6pm. I hope to see you there.
October’s meeting was well attended and we got the elections and bi-laws done. Thank you for showing up and helping us get that done.
The equipment is ready to go, and we moved some of it to the staging area. We will move the groomers when we have snow. If you are interested in riding the groomer, let us know. We would be happy to have you join us for a day. Who knows, maybe you will enjoy it enough to become an operator.
Snow Fest is the 15th at the Leavenworth Fest Hall. Open 10 to 5 with multiple vendors, onsite food and all the wonders of Leavenworth. The club will host a table there. If you haven’t paid your dues, do the dues there. If you would like to volunteer, talk to Jim
WSSA Rendezvous planning is on schedule. We are looking for volunteers and donations to make this a great event. Our club is working together with the Wenatchee Rec Club and the Boon Dockers to make this a great event.
Factoid
Snowmobilers in the United States and Canada spend over $28 billion on snowmobiling each year according to the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA). This includes expenditures on equipment, clothing, accessories, snowmobiling vacations, etc. Surveys show that, on average, snowmobilers taking overnight trips (24% of those surveyed) take three to five trips per year, spending two nights per trip away from home.

Summer Meeting (Finally)
Apple Country Snowmobile Club
August 2025

Summer Newsletter
Greetings Riders:
We’ve only four more months to wait until we are riding again. I have spoken with some club members who are already preparing their machines.
Next Meeting
We will be meeting for our summer barbeque on September 6th at Kirby BiIlingsley Park. We have the shelter reserved from 10 till 2 and will have a short meeting to discuss the status of the club, plan for this winter and talk about the Washington State Snowmobile Association’s Winter Rendezvous which will be in Wenatchee this February.
Barbeque
This Club will purchase hamburgers and fixings so, please bring your favorite side dish and beverages.
Funding
Thanks to an increase in snowmobile registrations, some of last year’s reductions are coming back. We will see a 13.5% increase in funding over last year.
Bi-Law changes
Any change to the bi-laws will have to be approved at our October meeting. I did not leave enough lead time to do this in September. We need 30 days notice for any changes and, for the new elections. Please consider serving as an officer or board member this year. We can use your ideas and encouragement.
Equipment
We experienced minimal breakage last season and the groomers are in good condition. Minimal Maintenance is needed. Thanks operators for taking good care of the equipment. State Parks is updating the GPS systems and we hope the new vendor will be ready to go before grooming begins. The new devices will require some minor installation.
Hope to see you on the 6th.

It is with great sadness that since our last meeting the snowmobile community has lost 2 individuals of which 1 of them was our own, Andy Kennedy. Both Andy and Joe de Boer (Whatcom County Snowmobile Club V.P.) were very well known and experienced riders. These riders have touched numerous individuals and will be greatly missed!
Please keep their family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time!
