Notes from the 11/13 Meeting
Filed in: Meeting
Minutes
After reviewing the October minutes we discussed the
progress of purchasing a new duckie and equipment. It
was reported that 2 skirts and 2 helmets were
purchased at GAF. No duckie yet, but people are
watching for what is available.
The ACA dues issue was discussed and it was decided that since we haven’t utilized the ACA liability insurance coverage option, the main benefit of membership, we will not renew our membership at this time. The annual membership dues have increased to $250 from $75.
Kevin Jones has set up some roll session dates for the Shawnee pool. The dates are 12/2, 12/16, 1/6, & 1/20. These are Saturday nights, 6-8pm, and the cost is $5members/$10 non-members. He is working on February dates also.
The Mary-T sessions will take place on Sunday mornings as the pool is available. There is no formal arrangement there and some Sundays may not be available due to scheduled meets. Watch the forum for weekly postings regarding the Mary-T pool.
Todd is also working on something for some evening sessions at the YMCA, or maybe that was the YWCA.
We were reminded of the fragile relationship we have with the local pools due to the water contamination potential from our boats. Our boats are being considered as a potential bacterial source that required the draining of the Mary-T pool. Please be sure to remove your float bags before attending any indoor pool roll session and clean your boat. In addition, due to the recent problem at Mary-T, it is recommended that we disinfect the boat with a bleach solution. You know that funky looking stuff that’s trapped in the back of your boat by the float bags. Apparently it’s as bad as it looks.
The January dinner meeting has been scheduled for 1/27. The Middleton women’s club isn’t a lock so more info will follow on the location.
All the nominations for officer positions were voted into office. They are as follows:
President: Angella Anderson
Vice President: Kevin Hisel
Treasurer: Donna Sloan
Secretary: Jason Russo
Executive Committee:
Dave Ackerman
Todd Schindler
Charlie Sloan
Congratulations and Thank you to all the above.
Greg will be hosting the annual trip planning meeting again in February. Details to follow. Editorial note: This meeting has been the backbone of our success in scheduling paddling trips that give people, especially newer paddlers, the opportunity to get together with others. Please consider giving back some of your time next year to pass along the help that is required to make these trips a reality.
