• Swiftwater rescue class will be $115 per person. WIll by hosted by Mike Morrow & Thomas Fisher of BWA. 1st w/e June (7-8) @ Russel Fork or Nolichucky. 6 already committed, 4 more openings. Motion made for club to front $695 for initial costs.

• Spring clinic. Currently 2 students have signed up; still looking for more applications.

• Beargrass cleanup: Darrin wants to continue cleanup. Local flooding has contributed to a lot of trash getting dumped on the river.

• Elkhorn campground owner wants each boater to display club pass for each boater, rather than per car. Considering other options for parking.

• Ironman prefers to pay 503b organizations. Motion made to explore re-filing club under this status.


Viking rosters have been sent out and should arrive at your homes next week. The campground owner is getting really particular about the display of the passes, so even if you don't plan to park on the campground, display your passes on the shuttle vehicle parked on his campground so he won't give you problems. Apparently he feels like he's getting ripped off by non-club members, even though we are all probably assuming that the pass is for parking on his property, not for giving us the rights to the river, but whatever.

I think our president has considered discussing the parking option with some of the other landowners in the area, most notably the church down the street. Hopefully this will culminate in some options that are less stringent to our cause.
