A group of snowmobile
enthusiasts from the New Lisbon area gathered on September 10,
1970 for an organizational meeting. The purpose was to
determine if there was enough interest to start a snowmobile
club. Officers were promptly elected, President, Shirrell Murphy,
Vice-President, Snuffy Clark, Secretary, Helen Walker,
Treasurer, Gary Robinson, Safety Officers, Curt Kimball, Bob
Fish, and Jerry Bond. Dues were set at $5.00 per family and
$3.00 for an individual. The next meeting was set for September
24, 1970 and the Winter Wanderers Snowmobile Club was officially
born! Tommy Thompson was the lawyer who handled the Articles of
Incorporation while he was working for the law offices of
Wallace A. Brady of Elroy.
