We had a great turnout for our Annual Meeting and Potluck at the Chalet at Camp Nawakwa on November 18. The potluck dinner was a veritable smögasbörd of dishes. Thank you to all for providing such delicious food. After dinner, we had our annual meeting. We reviewed the minutes from the September meeting and last year’s annual meeting. The Treasurer’s Report was shared and the group voted to accept the proposed budget for 2025. Jerry Sazama reported on the trail work done in 2024. Projects for 2025 include the reroute east of KIm’s Crossing on the Harwood Lakes Segment, and installation of new trail on the Otter Lake Preserve which was purchased in December 2023. Elections were held for 3 officers: Julie Kosher will continue as the Assistant Coordinator, and was elected as the new Secretary. Thank you to Mary Skalecki who has served as secretary for the past 4 years. Jerry Sazama has asked to phase out of his position as Trail Coordinator, and was elected for one year in that position. Jerry nominated Ann Hansen to take his place. Ann was elected to the position of Trail Coordinator for two years. Jerry and Ann will serve together for one year as Jerry trains her for the position. Thank you to Our Nawakwa for hosting us for our meeting.

The Calendar of Chapter Events was presented for 2025. Please check for the Calendar.
