Not for profit considerations.
Cost will be a big problem.
We need three years of financial records, Tax ID number.

John F made the point that the club should hire a CPA to handle the paperwork for the Charitable Organization designation. The costs would be worth it to get it right and more importantly get it done. Current club finances make it tough to do now.

Mark Barnes mentioned that the railroad has concerns about the Barclay road area. Apparently riders are going on the tracks and causing problem. He read from the rails to trails brochure. There is money available to get the right of way cleared for snowmobile/ATV use. The railroad is willing to work with the club.

We need two trail bosses for an ideal situation, a new one for Wallington railroad bed, one for BOCES to Rascals.
