East Herkimer Sno- Riders Snowmobile Club

 Land Owner's Dinner Our annual land owner's dinner was held on Saturday, May 15, 2010. The dinner was held at the Little Falls Elks Club and was attended by approximately 60 people. The food and company were great and everyone had a good time. We thank the landowner's for allowing us the use of their property year after year, allowing us to enjoy the sport of snowmobiling with our friends and families. Thank you to Phyllis Giachetti for organizing the dinner. She did a wonderful job! And thank you to all who attended.   _____________________    
On Tuesday, November 10th the club sponsored a child safety seat check. The check was made in conjunction with the New York State Police and the Herkimer County BOCES Pre-K program.  Three New York State Troopers were assigned to check the seats.  Parents, grandparents and care givers were shown the proper way to install a child seat, how to choose the correct seat for their child and other child seat related issues.  The troopers checked and installed 20 seats.  Out of the 20 seats, 8 were found to be defective.  Those 8 children were given new seats through a grant from the Traffic Safety Administration.  Club members Joanne Aldrich (Treasurer), Jesse Davis (President) and Clayton "Duke" Pedrick (Vice President) were responsible for coordinating the resources from the New York State Police, Herkimer County BOCES Pre-K program, the East Herkimer Fire Department and the Traffic Safety Administraton.

 

Alona Greig and Hayden Hilts (below) patiently wait for their turn to have their seats checked.  The seat check started at 9:00am and went until 2:00pm.  The East Herkimer Fire Department graciously allowed the use of their facility for the event and it proved to be an ideal location.  Herkimer County BOCES personnel Joanne Aldrich, Cherie Watson and Barb Dunadee coordinated all the appointments for the pre-K participants and helped process much of the paperwork.  All the seats were inspected for flaws, incorrect use and possible recalls.  If a problem was found the seat was discarded and a new one was issued free of charge.

Five great reasons why we had this safety seat check are in this picture below...
"A  properly installed child seat will greatly reduce the chances of your child being seriously hurt in the event of an accident", states Tpr. Paul Carner, Troop D Traffic Safety Coordinator.  All parents should take advantage of this wonderful program to help ensure that their children are protected the best way possible.  The East Herkimer Sno-Rider Snowmobile Club was the proud sponsor of this event!  Any club members wanting to take advantage of this program should contact Tpr. Jesse Davis at               (315) 366-6089         (315) 366-6089 for further instructions.
