Club Insurance
Our club has grown alot in the past year, the next step is for us to purchase liability insurance. We talked about it for some time, weighing the benifits vs cost and finally made the determination to proceed. The insurance will be through IMBA and the cost should be minimal. ALL members will be required to sign a waiver. It is mandatory that the club have all its members sign the waiver in order to purchase the insurance policy. Waiver forms should be sent to 4856 Bonsai Cir #210 Palm Beach Gardens, Fl 33418 Download the Club Waiver Form
Save Fort Pierce Trail
	Please make sure to sign the petition to Save Fort Pierce Trail. The Crossroads Mountain Bike Trail is facing the concern of being closed. With the location of the trail being away from the public eye, the only way to draw attention to ourselves is with this petition and our unified voice. Please help us and voice your opinion on this petition. You do NOT need to donate at the Save the Trail petition link. It is NOT a donation to the person or organization whose petition you just signed.
Halipatiokee Trail Improvements Continue
	Culvert pipes have been installed to allow the trail to cross low areas and extensive re-routes have been made to avoid low areas. Signs are here and have already started appearing on the trail! There is still much work to be done, look for scheduled trail work days on the forum. If you are interested in helping out contact Tony Neser at avn@thedocumentguys.com

	This will be sent out to members via email and will contain updates regarding potential new trails, existing trail conditions, membership status, trail reviews etc. If you would like to submit trail reviews from your out of town trips, or have suggestions for the newsletter, please send them to Nick D pres@airbornemtb.org.
