      1. Roster, Brenan sent text file to wrrrboard email March. Nobody is running with the Roster.  After the text file was sent out,  David had questions that weren’t answered regarding the Roster.  We read some of the emails during the meeting, and concluded if David is still willing to help us add a work around button to mail the membership that would be amazing.  If David is busy and we can’t get a mass email out, then would have to manual input club members emails for mailing out PDFs, Rosters, and similar announcements. Discuss doing PDF style waterlog in a simple format, need someone to to take the lead.   WRRR needs backup people to help with website content, proofing and posting info.  Mark and others will keep posting on facebook, boating! and sharing information.
      2. Brenan updated Membership database updated a few weeks ago and lots of renewals/ new member have come in the last 2 weeks.
      3. Need extra volunteer help to post articles, help proof website data, and figure out how to mail out PDFs easily to general membership.

  6. Events
    1. Niqually Cleanup roundup (4/1/2023)  Haven’t heard the final report from Greg yet.   We estimate around 2,000 pounds.  Brenan reports that the large gate might get repurposed, or at least recycled.  Next year, we want to work on some fence removal on river right at the bridge.   Brenan will round up some demo saws.  The club will look for more information on camping for 2024.  Riverbend will not open up until memorial day.  Miller/Sylvania seemed a little far for the cleanup.  The camp itself is nice.
