Christy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Have you guys seen these on the District 9 Facebook Page? What do you think? More to come in the next week or so. 14 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thanks to Dave and Carl... great idea. If the snowmobilers know who to thank in the community it would probably lead to a lot of acknowledgement of their generosity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Club did Club hats with “landowner” embroidered on the back, we have a few that wear them around town proudly. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderman Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I really think there should be a lot more of this. Thanks for sharing - it's a great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 @chandos_jon Interesting. I think D9 also has quite a message on their website telling sledders about their landowners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't shoot me for the question... there may be some drawbacks but would it be reasonable to provide some sort of contact information where snowmobilers could individually reach out to these generous people and actually express their appreciation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Great idea. Showing that real people own these properties, not some faceless corporation. Hopefully, this can lead to more respect. I'm on Facebook daily and never seen it though. They need to reach more sledders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair question/suggestion - I think it would be a slippery slope. That said, no reason the club can't set-up a free appreciation email address where people can send in their appreciation and gratitude correspondence. That wouldn't be hard or time consuming? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I agree Spidey! Landowners need their privacy too!!! Appreciation through the clubs would be the best course of action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more and more landowners are following the club and district facebook pages so they would see it if they were posted. Of course this also means that they see all the trespassing and complaining posts. I do share those at my club level but try and keep it mostly good news. In small towns it'll spread enough that a few people will mention it to them in person I hope too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being put out on the District 9 facebook page and website and seem to be shared pretty widely. The first one is around 19,000 impressions on facebook. Not sure why you aren't seeing them.

I agree with letting the community spread the details. As an OFSC landowner, I would be upset if the club was making my contact information public. Anyone who wants to give an individual thank the landowners you feature on Facebook can leave a comment on the apprpriate Facebook post.

vooodooo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Think I mentioned rock star status earlier. Had the opportunity a year or so ago to do some work on a land owners hot tub. Eby Farms on HWY 21 in Allenford. Got us off a road run when the town started plowing the road after decades of not doing that. Made a point to thank them before I started to fix their tub. Dairy farmers that have been nothing but awesome letting us use their land. Don't think they even own snowmobiles. Sometimes a small thank you can go a long way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
