NMOHVA's Annual Meeting will be in Albuquerque on March 27, 2010. The Annual Meeting is when NMOHVA's membership gets together with their Board of Directors. We'll review the year's accomplishments, elect/re-elect members of the Board, and brainstorm NMOHVA's efforts for the coming year.

The Annual Meeting is the place to get caught up with old friends and make new friends with other New Mexico riders/drivers with a passion for motorized recreation. We take care of business in the morning, and then we'll have our traditional free pizza lunch.

We're working on a plan for an official 'ground-breaking' ceremony for the Cedro Peak project. The ground-breaking will be after lunch on March 27th. The ground-breaking will celebrate NMOHVA's $450,000 (including receiving a $322,000 federal grant) trail system project. Watch the NMOHVA website for further details on the meeting and groundbreaking event.
