  7. New Business
    1. Hollenbeck Park reservation – set up but not 100% confirmed
    2. How do members communicate without Facebook?
      1. Waterlog is the main mechanism, but what happens when people don’t realize they aren’t getting it?
      2. wrrr.org forums has little activity and is difficult to maintain
      3. Yahoo groups are unmaintainable and need to go
      4. Any mechanism we use needs a wide audience
      5. “People need to suck it up” – if you don’t want to participate in Facebook or you aren’t getting the Waterlog, you need to deal with this. The club can’t force people to use different communications methods.
  8. Waterlog articles needed by 1/20
    1. NOTE: Make sure Brian verifies receipt of articles
    2. VP River Ops – Green River Cleanup teaser – Joe will handle this
    3. President – President’s welcome message – Repo will send Nancy the 2018 article to edit
  9. Announcements and good of the order
    1. Mark Burns will head up the Green River Paparazzi crew at the Nozzle for the cleanup
    2. Brenan proposes to add the Progression as a WRRR event for 2019, so River Ops will handle scheduling and duties
    3. Sidebar – Need an online membership form. This needs to be part of the web site – a remote form (e.g., Google form) will not integrate well with our system
  10. Adjourn – 7:42
