Smaller Trailer and Storage Unit Mean Savings

Your SWTU Board works to get the most out of every dollar. Our former trailer for hauling saws and other gear to workdays worked great but was bigger than needed … meaning the storage unit for it had to be bigger (about as costly as one can be). The Board acted to trade in the big trailer for a smaller one and move things into a smaller storage unit. The new trailer is easier to tow and the new storage unit will save money every month going forward – money that can go toward our coldwater resource.

There are MANY to thank for this, but we’d like to call out Mark Maffit in particular for driving this issue and doing the critical research that helped guide the board to its decision. Jim Hess, Dyan Lesnik and her husband, Wayne Griffin, also played key roles. Pictured and helping with the move are Jim, Dyan, Wayne, Steve Musser, Don Golembiewski and Michael Westbury. These and other members helped look at trailers and storage units, prepare the old trailer for trade-in, load the new trailer, organize gear to auction off or move and about a dozen other necessary actions. Thank you all!!

We also thank WowGee print shop for donating the expertise and materials to brand the trailer. Come check it out at an upcoming workday!
