It is with regrets that the club accepted the resignation of Wendy Hafner as

president of the club, effective Dec. 31, 2009.  The vice president will take over as president and

 an election for a new president must be held.  Scott Pieper has made it known that he will not be accepting an office

the club, effective with the May election.  We need someone to step up and come forward now and accept the position of

 president so that we can continue to grow and pursue our goal of trails in Shawano County.
