PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

The April meeting featured Steve Jurewicz and Bambi Miller of the Cave Creek Trails committee. Steve presented an update on the progress so far and the near term and long term plans and funding for the town trail system. Phase I, the trail along Spur Cross Road from the Galloway wash to about Azure Hills Road will be completed this summer. Phase II, will complete the trail to Morning Star Road. This will lay the ground work of visibility for the much larger program of trails throughout Cave Creek. If you have not filled out a volunteer sheet in support of this effort, please do so. Your support is greatly needed.
The May meeting will be the last for the ’05-’06 season. We will be voting in our new officers for next year and voting on a change to the dues structure.
Candidates are:
President Susan Dryer
Vice President Ric Ingram
Secretary Jean Anderson
Treasurer Cindy Ramsey
Trail Coordinator open
Events Coordinator* Nancy Doerzbacher
*The Events Coordinator will coordinate activities other than trail rides for which the club participates. .
