The Alexandria Ledge Climbers snowmobile club is run solely by volunteers. Operating a snowmobile club involves year round work and would not be possible without the valuable contributions of our volunteer members. As is the case with most other snowmobile clubs in the state there is a shortage of volunteers. So we have created the Volunteer Incentive Program or VIP as an incentive to get more volunteers and participation within the club.
Any one who volunteers will get one point per hour volunteered which can be cashed in for club apparel, next year’s membership and other fun prizes. In order to receive points you must have a worksheet and a club officer must sign the worksheet and add the hours. To redeem points you must bring worksheet to the Club President and show you have the right amount of points for the prize. Example of prizes you can get,
25 points T Shirt or Long Sleeve
50 points sweatshirt
75 points jacket
Off Season Work
During the off season we are planning for the next season or doing fund raiser events. We will usually post things about this on our web page and Facebook.
Trail work - Late Summer and Fall:
This is where a majority of the trail and equipment maintenance is done. Trees and brush are cleared from the trails, bridges are repaired, equipment maintenance, fencing and signage is put. Over the season a list of work is created with major work items discussed at our club meeting. Work parties are scheduled on a weekend which are posted on Facebook and also our Events page here on our Website.
Snowmobile Season:
During the snowmobile season there is a lot going on. Trails need to be groomed, groomer maintenance, clearing downed trees and there is always brush work that needs to be done. If you are interested in being a groomer operator we would like to here from you. Though there are several prerequisites required we would like to here from you.
