  We hope you all had an opportunity to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. SFWDA is proud to support these two events which both go a long way to support our communities and give back to a great causes.

The "4 Wheeling for a Cure" event to benefit St. Jude's Charity raised several thousand dollars onsite at Windrock yesterday in addition to a large sum online directly through St. Jude's website as well. (It's not too late to contribute either.)

 

Meanwhile down near Atlanta, Ga the "Mud 4 Blood" event in it's 11th year yesterday raised 86 pints of blood in just 7 hours. This will go a long way to help many people through the cooperation of Life South's Community Blood Centers mission.

  At Tom's 4x4 Superstore in Chattanooga, TN hundreds of enthusiasts gathered as Tom and his wife put on a Customer Appreciation Day open to the public. Several members of SFWDA were there to connect with many new and regular Off- Roaders browsing around meeting the shop staff and the invited vendors. They even hosted a free lunch for all who came out. Inside his shop their deals all around as the day continued the crowd continued to grow, browsing the showroom and vendor booths. Tom himself then gave a memorable mention to Southern and what were all fighting for. Then they all gave away a bunch of free gear in their raffle.

Immediately following the raffle we all headed out to enjoy a day on trails at Adventure Off Road Park.

Proof of concept validated, BLM & OHV together

​ Check out this article I found today which reads to inspire and prove that we are on the right path.

This Utah “Win-Win” Is Good For OHV Riders And The BLM

By Dave Halsy, NOHVCC Contributing Writer

image.jpg

Off-highway vehicle (OHV) riders need trails. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) needs volunteers to help sign and maintain trails. A BLM recreation technician coordinates volunteer projects. OHV riders show up and help get the job done. 

That’s a common success story at BLM Field Offices. 

In Utah, they’ve taken that win-win scenario to the next level: The hours OHV riders volunteer on trail projects help pay the salary of the BLM Rec. Tech. 

Full story....

Windrock Park Cleanup Day

 

 

Windrock Park is organizing a Clean Up Day! Anyone and everyone is invited to come out and participate-no matter what you drive! All DRIVERS must have a valid Land Use Permit. If you want to bring to a passenger along to help you with the clean up, the passenger must sign for a permit, but will receive it for free for that day only. 

Trash bags will be provided. If you have some other apparatus that will help you, you are welcome to bring it along! 

Starting point will begin at the Lower Shed at the Trailhead (across from the General Store). Each vehicle will be assigned a partner vehicle, or you can pair up with someone. Trails will be assigned to each pair and long trails will be broken down into sections. 

We will meet back at the starting point at 2pm with all of the trash collected. After that, you are welcome to go wheel some more!

Call out to club Rep's....

  I am looking for one local representative from each of our actively supporting local clubs to contact me personally for info on contributing access with each of your clubs on your new website. This will allow each club to post news, events, projects, and messages on our SFWDA board and communicate among one another. 
Members.........stay tuned, now that the "information gates" are open the information should begin to flow freely among us all.
