Message From the Executive Director
"Headquarters' Headlines"
Happy August, PSSA Members!
I want to begin by reminding you to make sure that you have our new office address correct in your records. The PSSA office has been at this location for a year now, so mail will no longer be forwarded. Our office address is: 908 North Second St., Harrisburg, PA 17102
As I write this column, we are halfway through the summer and business is picking up in preparation for the next snowmobiling season! Glen Knisely has been working very hard on the Pilot Navigational Sign Project. He has met with regional directors in the three counties involved with the pilot project (Erie, Somerset and Potter counties) to finalize plans to install intersection signs. Glen and I met with the Bureau of Forestry, Recreation Division, to coordinate plotting these intersections on the DCNR maps to be printed this fall, and I’m finishing up the necessary paperwork to order materials for installation.
Our President, Roger Auker, is busy meeting with his PA Powersports Show Committee. Great plans are underway, so be sure to save the date of October 29-31 for our annual trade show to be held at the Lebanon Expo Center in Lebanon, PA. We will need volunteers to help collect tickets, monitor doors, and in many other miscellaneous ways, so please contact Roger Auker or Franz Martin to sign up to help. (See our board list for their contact information.)
Our club volunteers are working very hard on trail maintenance and repair. There is some pretty amazing work being done this summer in the Allegheny National Forest, thanks to some extra money our clubs were able to receive from the ANF.
Our annual PSSA Campout will be held on August 20-22 at the Ferryboat Campgrounds in Liverpool, PA. I recently visited this campground and was very impressed with all they had to offer. It is nestled back in the trees away from the highway along the Susquehanna River. There were plenty of campsites, an ice cream store, a general store, and playgrounds, to highlight a few items. PSSA’s quarterly board meeting will also be held there on Saturday, August 21 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Members are always welcome to attend our board meetings.
We are also busy here in the office preparing materials for our membership drive and promoting PSSA. We would love to gather stories of why you joined PSSA and why you enjoy being a member today. If you wouldn’t mind sharing your stories and allow us to reprint your statements (can be anonymous), please send a letter or email to me. There will be many opportunities for us to share this information.
Don’t forget that PSSA will have a booth at the PA RV and Camping Association’s Annual RV Show at the Giant Center in Hershey, September 15-19. Help out and see the show for free! Contact me or Franz Martin to sign up.
The Marienville Trail Riders will also be joining our booth at the Marienville “Oktoberfest”, September 24-26. If you live in that area, be sure to stop by and bring a friend to introduce to PSSA!
Look for our special September issue in your mailboxes next month, and remember that PSSA members receive a discount for advertising in our newsletter!
Until next time,
