January's Meeting

New officers were voted in. Congratulations to the following:

· Jeff Spivey - Trail Boss
· Tripp Clement - Treasurer
· Jim Berliner and Dave Schaffer - Public Relations

TNT will be creating a blank card for members and participating guests to list any emergency
information - just in case. The card would contain name, and phone number of an emergency
contact plus any special medical conditions. The card plus a first aid kit, fire extinguisher,
seat belts, and a CB will be considered "standard equipment" for ever rig on a trail ride.

Thoughts of combining the TNT dues with Southern Four Wheel Drive Association dues were
discussed. In order to better represent SFWDA as a subsidiary club, each TNT member should
also be a member of Southern. Southern is responsible for keeping open Tellico, Beasley Knob,
Uwharrie, lobbies against closures and potential opening of new areas, and needs all the support
that they can get. This could potentially increase yearly dues from $15 to $45 or $50 - something
to consider. We would like to here your thoughts concerning the potential combining TNT dues
with SFWDA. Drop us an E-mail!

Tripp won the 50/50 raffle, which helps out Rocky Bottom Camp of the Blind - that is 2 in a row!!

Trick N Traction T-shirts, ball caps, and a few denim shirts are available - let us know what size
you need.
