After fifty plus years known as the East Jordan Sno-Mobilers and after less than five years known as the South Arm ORV Club, the two groups have merged. Members voted on four possible names and overwhelmingly selected “East Jordan Trailblazers”. The name identifies the new non-profit organization, but also defines the group on many levels. Newly elected officers include – President: Don Massey, Vice President: Mark Nachtman, Secretary: Ron Schroeder, Treasurer: Connie Massey, Trustees: Rob Laisure, Benson Massey and Nick Miller. The clubhouse and grounds located on Mt. Bliss Road in East Jordan serves as the meeting and event site for the organization.
The East Jordan Trailblazers did not waste any time selecting a new logo that clearly represents the activities and mission of the organization. A merchandise committee has been organized to select apparel and decals that will be offered for sale. A newsletter titled “Tales from the Trail” has already sent its first newsletter to current members.
The mission and focus of the East Jordan Trailblazers is a private non-profit social and fraternal organization dedicated to the advancement of the sport of motorized recreation. The events and activities described in this group were arranged for the benefit of our members. In addition to social and recreational activities, the club supports charitable causes in the interest of public service and local citizenship. The East Jordan Trailblazers safety classes through their DNR certified instructor and makes continuing safety and technical education available to our members and the public through classes and seminars. Motorized recreational users who subscribe to the aims, goals and ethics of the East Jordan Trailblazers, and who agree to abide by the by-laws and rules of the club are eligible to apply for membership.
