Notes from the 8/14 Meeting

Minutes
By: John Pilitari
No minutes were taken at the July meeting so there was no review of last month’s minutes.
Greg opened business with a motion to release the funds set aside, last year, for the Falls camera purchase. A vote was taken and it was decided to release the funds. Following the vote, a lengthy discussion ensued with several members expressing a strong interest in keeping the Falls camera fund intact. A motion was made to maintain this fund for another 30 days. The motion was voted down.
Donna reported that the Club has a current cash balance of $4318.73. Greg presented a budget/spending recap from last year that showed the Club with an income of approximately $4200 and expenditures of $4369.

There was some discussion regarding last year’s donations to Elkhorn Acres and Friends of Gauley. It wasn’t determined what either organization’s needs might be this year; hence no motions were made regarding donations. The remainder of the expense discussion focused on equipment purchases. There was a proposal to purchase another ducky (a smaller, more maneuverable one) as well as additional helmets and spray skirts. The focus for helmets and skirts seems to leaning toward a need for smaller sizes. Kevin will inventory the equipment to determine what we actually have. He does not have the Club skirts and didn’t know who had them, so If you have the skirts please contact Kevin. It was suggested that the Club purchase this equipment “used” at GAF. Also someone suggested that we may be able to find the smaller sized skirts at Sierra Trading Post for a very reasonable price. It is anticipated that a purchase decision will be made next month, after an equipment inventory is done.
Scott reported that several Vikings attended the Swift Water Rescue class that CHOTA conducted on the Ocoee. It sounds like it was a very hands-on class with people intentionally swimming the hole at Double Suck.
Any finally, Larry reported that his Cod dinner was his first disappointing meal at KTs.
