From The President

Hello, everyone!
We even have some snow here in west cen•tral Ohio. It's enough to get some
of the old iron out to ride around the back pasture.

We just returned from a really fun show in Hale, Michigan, promoted by ASCOA
Director Fred Edgerton. It was the fourth year for the show and it gets
bigger and better every year. There were probably 125 really nice machines
on display and a great area to take them for a short ride. It was cold
enough that a lot of us had trouble keeping all the machines running with
the wind chill, but we got by.

It's time to get your renewals sent in to Sue Sailer. Sue and Jerry Wanty
report that the tran•sition of handling all the renewals has gone smoothly
and that we have received quite a few renewals already, which is really
good.

We are looking forward to the upcoming ASCOA Winter Meet in Antigo,
Wisconsin, on February 12 & 13, 2010. Todd Koehn is working hard to make the
meet a success and has a great event lined up. The Bolens/Hus Ski Club has
made plans to attend our meet and we are glad to have their participation.
It should be a lot of fun. The host hotel is the Holiday Inn Express,
located at 2400 Neva Drive in Antigo, and their phone number is (715)
627-7500 for reserva•tions. Be sure to mention that you are with the ASCOA.
I'll close for now. I hope to see you in Antigo. Think snow!
John McGuirk President ASCO
