We are very sad to hear of the passing of permanent board member and trail boss Al Doree. He did so much for the club, volunteering his time, talking with land owners, routing and marking trails and so much more. His kind heart and big smile will be missed!

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, April 20, 2023 from 4-6:00 p.m. at Nelson-Doran Funeral Home in Brainerd. Interment will take place at Minnesota State Veterans Cemetery near Little Falls on Friday, April 21, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.
