From Brook Waalen

MN-WI ATV Summit Attendees:

It’s time to set a date, time, and place for the Wisconsin contingent to organize a coalition much like what exists in Minnesota. Allow me to SUGGEST the following:

Place: Wausau

Date: Pick a day between October 22 and October 30 – weekend or weekday.

Time: I’d like to hear your suggestions.

Duration: 4-8 hours

Place: Someplace free.

The theme of the day will be “Organize.” Agenda items may include - but are not limited to - the following:

Identify all potential member-participants.

Develop a contact list and method(s) of communication.

Develop guiding principles or a mission statement or other such foundation.

Identify and adopt one or more key strategies (such as: support grassroots efforts; public education; influence the legislature; promote effective legislation; litigation; etc…).

Assign individuals or working groups to each key strategy that the group adopts.

Identify available resources.

Identify other needed resources and potential sources.

Come up with a name for this coalition.

It would be nice to leave this meeting with a clear sense of what we are capable of doing and how we’re going to do it. Feel free to reply with any concerns or suggestions.

Wouldn't it make more sense to open sustainable riding areas and enforce sound limts to control the "other" recreation.

Did you know, Wisconsin DNR purchased about 25 new Qwest type 1 sound meters and have been training this year to properly test ATV's, boats, and other OHV's

Off highway recreation has been the largest growing out door recreation sport for the last two years, try and work with them.

There are alot of other ATV riders that would prefer every one ride quiet machines.

We love ya' man
