  5. Old Business
    1. Safety class roundup
      1. Went really well, lots of new members and old members who don’t come out much. Did a lot in the river: foot entrapment, shallow water crossing, z drag with a boat.
    2. Wenatchee Rendezvous roundup
      1. 865 raffle sold + sustaining & benefactor
      2. Found a couple new campgrounds, worried about flash floods because of the fire damage, but not sure next year – Brenan can ask them about next year when he is there next weekend.
      3. Had only about 2/3s the normal people
    3. Sauk Overnighter status
      1. David sent spreadsheet, Brennan going to tweak it and post it this week.
      2. Suiattle to Sauk is plan A (lots of camping, good II plus run with a couple class III – put in a bit of a pain), Brennan to talk to outfitters about wood
      3. Sauk from White Chuck plan B
      4. Suiattle take out down to Skagit is plan C.
    4. White Salmon status
      1. Should be all set, some people coming up Sunday from Oregon to do the lower section from the old lake down (be ready to portage Steel Head falls if need to, will talk to outfitters).
      2. Nothing planned (no potluck or prizes), Randy and Nancy are trip leaders
    5. Poker Run status
      1. Camping are all set, have poker stations covered but could use some backups. Jason going to print the cards.
      2. Still working on prizes, plan on building fire pan and table, but no big ticket items yet. Costco has coupon for waterproof speaker and camera starting 6/11
    6. Tieton Rally status
      1. Possible deal with Riverbooty for photos of all WRRR members, David will find out more details. Idea would be WRRR to pay flat fee for all WRRR member photos. Should also consider doing a special WRRR season long pass for $100 or some flat fee
      2. Still considering food options, maybe desert and/or breakfast potluck.
      3. Bring lots of propane fire pits as fire will likely be banned
