Summit on OHV Recreation Announced for Washington D.C.

May 19, 2005
Message from Jack Welch, President, BlueRibbon Coalition

To: Motorized Recreation Leaders


The date for our Fall Motorized Recreation Summit has been moved to July, so time is short to make your plans.  Details are still being developed, but the dates are set. I would like to encourage all motorized recreation groups to get involved.  As a point of clarification, the summit will include, in addition to OHV's, Personnel Water Craft (PWCs) and snowmobile issues.  After all, we all operate on public lands! Please review the bulletin below for more details. In addition, please email Roy Denner (ORBA) or me if you can attend the Summit.

Thanks
Jack Welch, President, BlueRibbon Coalition
