Seeking new and returning board members!

Great mushing opportunities don't just happen - it takes a dedicated team of volunteers to maintain trails, plan events, and grow the sport of dog mushing in our community. CDMA's board members are the glue that holds our club together - please join our team! If you are interested in serving on our Board, please submit your name on our nomination form (you can also nominate other club members who might be a good fit).

We are also looking for nominees for this year's Humanitarian of the Year. Please take a moment to honor a club member whose contributions deserve special recognition. 


Nominations will be accepted until April 11. Ballots will be sent to all members by April 14. The votes will be tallied at our general meeting on April 27. ​Click HERE for details and nomination forms.

​Free Canned Salmon! 
Food Bank of Alaska has received a large shipment of pink salmon, 14 oz cans, that are too dented for human consumption. We are giving out 25lb boxes, up to 200 lbs per mushing kennel. The Iditarod has shared the info out but wanted to connect to other outlets. We have several tons to donate to mushers this spring.
 
Salmon can be picked up at Food Bank of Alaska, 2192 Viking Dr. M-F, 8am-4:30pm unless a special pickup arrangement is made. Mushers must email development@foodbankofalaska.org in advance and share their name/kennel name, location, and approximate date and time they want to pick up the salmon.

Stay Informed!! Chugach Mountain Bikers Association proposes to create a multi-use corridor providing access to the inlet from Beach Lake (see their proposal HERE). Their proposal would compromise the integrity of our trails and encourage further encroachment onto both sides of our trail system. Please stay informed to help protect our hard-earned trail system.
