the season to active membership to keep folks informed of everything going on with the Sno-Bees.
How do you make newcomers feel welcomed in your club?
We ask,“ What do you ride!?” More seriously, the Sno-Bees do a good job of both introducing themselves friendly and respectfully to new members at club meetings. We thank them for showing up and encourage them to get involved, if they would like to, at their own pace. All efforts go somewhere. It is a tough thing to manage when some younger members head off for college. The club is also starting to manifest ideas to get new members excited about the Sno-Bees early in the season with some sort of welcome“ perk pack.”
Besides safety training, how do you engage youth who are involved in the club or sport?
Selfies with our mascot, BuzzBee, have been very popular with riders of all ages. Our trail crew will move BuzzBee around on the trail network throughout the season, so riders are always looking to“ Find BuzzBee” and post their selfies to our Facebook page.
One interesting thing that our club does for the good of the sport is...
embracing the fact that snowmobiling is a team effort, and this goes all of the way up the chain, and the spine of the Green Mountains. We step up and support neighboring clubs if needed, whether with administrative advice or trail-related equipment assistance. If we can, we will. I like to believe that we have or are still, in our own small way, bringing back a sense of community to the sport of snowmobiling in the great state of Vermont. I think that is something to be proud of.
