      2. Setup general membership meeting for Jan 21st at Overlake Roundtable. No specific program, but usually just go over extended trip permits. Maybe setup a computer so people can fill out permits (Rogue still phone/mail, not online).

      1. Brian has a lack of content. Asking all board members to write some articles about anything (first swim, trips you want to do, products you like). David talking to Jay about history of club. Looking for board members from before 1992. Rebecca can write article about Nisqually. Brenan to find someone to write something about the Rogue trip.

    1. Tilton Trek full article
    2. New Year
    3. Election results (available December 4) – holding off until we get the results
    4. January membership meeting announcement – David
  • Announcements and good of the order
    1. Did the leter go out to non-member about camping at WRRR events? It was signed, but not sure if it went out (pretty sure Mary sent it).
    2. Lets add river ops to standing committee reports
      1. Poker run – upper group camp Jason stays at is closed and they refunded the money. Could reserve something in New Halem but pretty sure that camp burned up as well. Can’t reserve Goodell Creek sites, so it will be a little tight next year.
      2. Still trying to get camp reserved for rendevous, but still listed as closed until further notice. Can always pull off what we did last year a couple weeks before.
    3. Should we send AW money? Nancy proposes sending $100, David 2nds. No one opposed.
  • Adjourn @ 7:41
