Goodbye to a Good Friend
It is with Great Sadness that I need to advise everyone of the passing of Charlie Carr.
Charlie has not only been an active member of our club for more years than many of us can remember, but Charlie was our head driving instructor. Charlie trained hundreds of children in the safe operation of a snowmobile, and never lost his positive attitude towards the youth.
Charlie trained all three of my children, as well as many of your children, over the last 15 years with a true interest in making them into both safe snowmobilers and future members for our club. Charlie had such a passion for his position, we have all suffered a huge loss with his departure.
Over the last year, Charlie made sure we had additional staff, and that driver training could continue smoothly, for our club, as his health was beginning to suffer.
Charlie will be missed by us all.
Monthly Meetings
All monthly club meetings will be at the Anglers and Hunters on County Rd 16, just east of Blind Line, at 8pm, third Monday of each month.
Everyone is welcome! Call 519-341-5277 for details
