I personally want to thank Houlton Power sports for getting me back on the trail quickly!!! Great bunch of people up there. As our season moves into March, let’s hope it continues to snow. The March MSA Directors meeting will be in Easton. I’m looking forward to that. April will bring our annual meeting at Jeff’s catering in Bangor. I hope to see a lot of you. This will be my last term as the MSA Coastal VP. I am stepping down. My replacement will do an excellent job and already gives so much to our sport. Congratulations Matt Baron I am sure you will do a great job. In closing, it has been my privilege to be a part of the MSA as a Director, Regional director, 2007 MSA snowmobiler of the year and Coastal VP since 2010. I have been a part of a great organization, which is certainly better now. Okay enough about me.... it’s time to ride. Be safe, Ride Right and have fun!
