Notes from the 9/11 Meeting
Filed in: Meeting
Minutes
Donna reported that the Club funds are the same at
$4318. There was some discussion about a couple of
checks being written and some refunds that will
affect the balance but basically we’re in the
$4300 range.
We spent most of the meeting discussing equipment and that centered on the purchase of a new ducky. There was some confusion about replacing the current ducky but the intent was to add a smaller one. It was decided that we should have a kit for each of the three inflatable pieces the Club will own. The kit should include an electric and hand pump, dry bag, and patch kit. Greg reported that Paul Webb has volunteered to look for a ducky and paddle at GAF. There was some discussion about the difference in cost of the ducks. The AIRE brand is pretty expensive while there are other brands now on the market that are considerably cheaper. Angela reported that she has been researching them recently and will share her information with Paul before a purchase is made. No dollar amount was authorized. It is anticipated that we will do that next month.
Kevin Jones reported that the Clubs ACA membership expired in June and that renewal fees have increased considerably from $75 to $250. The primary benefit of ACA membership is insurance coverage. No decision was made to renew this membership.
Greg reminded us that with elections in November, officer nominations should begin at the next meeting. The positions to elect are President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasure. In addition three executive committee positions need to be filled.
We heard that 12 people participated in the Cumberland (below the Falls) trip and the usual action was witnessed at Center Rock and Screaming Right hand Turn. I won’t mention any names.
I reported on the “Surfathon” the Club raft demonstrated on the Ocoee Labor Day including the spectacular carnage at Hell Hole. The Club raft generated another $100 of income that weekend.
