MSA Looking to Gather a Bit More Info. By John Monk It comes as no surprise to many of the information that was asked for and gathered on the economic impact study reflecting our sport. Many were surprised at the outcome it returned as most of it is handled by the “professional volunteers” that just seem to do what we all do. One question that blatantly seems to come up and is often a hot topic is the visual large gap between club members and the number of registered sleds. On the surface, the immediate results are not real positive…. But Wait! This season, MSA has added a numbered check box on your MSA Membership cards. It is called out as “How many sleds did you register last season”? The purpose of this is to get a better handle of how many members are supporting the state organization and their affiliated clubs. Currently, the gap appears large from actual MSA members to number of registered sleds. We believe the number to be much better than it appears as one family membership to a club and/or MSA could translate into 2,3,4 etc. of sleds. This can be skewed in many ways and will never possibly be 100% as some folks register new/used sleds during the season and the same sled can be registered twice or more after a sale. Hang with us as we continue to improve ways to get everyone to carry a chunk of the load. Please be as accurate as possible when filling in the box. This primarily is being tracked for showing the support of the clubs in Maine and the number of sleds tallied by its members. Thanks all for the added input and Ride On! And be safe!
