John L. has spoken with Carbon Creative about starting the 24-hours of MORC Race posters early this year. We would like to thank Carbon Creative for all the awesome work they have done for us in the past. Without their creative themes for our races, we would be lost.
Staff Report: (Parr) – Work on the Elm Creek Park grants are nearly complete & due by the end of February. The grants will be split two smaller sums over a two-year period. The Fridley grant has been submitted, and we are just waiting for final approval.

Dates to be announced in the near future. Tim would like the Board to vote on moving the $10,000 grant from our account to the Parks and Trails Council. The vote was motioned by Shepherd and 2<SUP>nd</SUP> by MacNaughton, all approved. The Cuyuna Trail Care Center moves forward once again with a grant proposal being placed in this year’s Minnesota State budget. Keep your fingers crossed. Tim is always working at least 2-5 years ahead of the Board on future trail development. He has several projects in the works in and around the Twin Cities. We all hope these projects will result in new single track.
