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. .
