             IN RECOGNITION OF THE BO-BOEN SNOWMOBILE CLUB

                                 ______


                             HON. TOBY ROTH

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 1994

  Mr. ROTH. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today to 
salute the Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club on the occasion of it 25th 
anniversary.
  Having spent numerous winters in northeast Wisconsin, I have had many 
occasions to enjoy the thrill of snowmobiling. Almost nothing can match 
the exhilaration of sledding across a frozen lake with the majestic 
beauty of the Wisconsin winter landscape as a backdrop. I can 
understand why the Bo-Boen sledders have dedicated so much of their 
time and energy to this sport.
  The Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club is the largest such group in the State of 
Wisconsin. It is also one of the most active in trail maintenance, 
safety training, and community involvement. The club maps and grooms 
over 160 miles of snowmobile trails every year. They also annually 
offer snowmobile safety and education courses. This past year, the 
club's safety class of 56 students was the largest group of sledders 
ever certified. The future promises to be even brighter, as 1995 will 
mark the club's 25th year.
  I'm especially proud that Bo-Boen makes its home in St. Germain, WI. 
This region of the State, part of my congressional district, boasts the 
country's finest snowmobile trails, and each winter season brings 
thousands of snowmobiling enthusiasts to the North Woods.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend club president Patrick Rohan and 
everyone involved in the club for their work on behalf of the North 
Woods snowmobiling community. Thanks to the club's efforts promoting 
the sport and its safety, snowmobile enthusiasts from every corner will 
continue to enjoy the activity we in Wisconsin cherish so much. I ask 
that my colleagues join me today in saluting the 25th anniversary of 
the Bo-Boen Snowmobile Club.
