SWIMBA held it's annual membership meeting on Wednesday June 18th at Smokey Mountain Pizza on Parkcenter. We had a truly excellent slate of candidates running for board positions this year. I was excited about knowing that no matter how it turned out we would have a truly talented board to work with. I'm pleased to announce that Gary Dinoso, Mike Edwards, Terry Floyd and Lisa Hawkes were all elected to the board. The remainder of the 9 that were elected this year include; David Beck, Tom Foote, Margie Rosenberg, Dirk Vandervoort and myself (David Thomas) who were all re-elected to the board. |

The Season of Mud has come.  Recent warm daytime temperatures and above freezing overnight temperatures are signaling the start of “Mud Season”. This is the time of year when we need to take care not to travel on muddy trails and roads. What may have been a frozen, snowy route a couple of days ago may have turned into a slushy, muddy path that should be avoided.
Walking and riding when conditions are wet and muddy is especially hard on trails. Soil is easily displaced and erosion problems can result. Our Friends in Sun Valley have posted this Blog on the issue. Please do your part and take personal responsibility for the good care of our trails by turning around where you encounter wet, muddy conditions. |
