- Hollenbeck Park reservation – set up but not 100% confirmed
- How do members communicate without Facebook?
- Waterlog is the main mechanism, but what happens when people don’t realize they aren’t getting it?
- wrrr.org forums has little activity and is difficult to maintain
- Yahoo groups are unmaintainable and need to go
- Any mechanism we use needs a wide audience
- “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.
- Waterlog articles needed by 1/20
- NOTE: Make sure Brian verifies receipt of articles
- VP River Ops – Green River Cleanup teaser – Joe will handle this
- President – President’s welcome message – Repo will send Nancy the 2018 article to edit
- Announcements and good of the order
- Mark Burns will head up the Green River Paparazzi crew at the Nozzle for the cleanup
- Brenan proposes to add the Progression as a WRRR event for 2019, so River Ops will handle scheduling and duties
- 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
- Adjourn – 7:42
