    1. Flip Practice roundup (2018-04-22)   14 or so people.   The new location is great.   Lots of room for boat rigging.  Vasa Park was $5 per person.  This is no cost.  Jim did a great job on the BBQ.  We ate up a bunch of leftover food from the Nisqually Cleanup.  The board and Jim can discuss where we do the flip practice next year.  Jim has requested the flip practice move back 1 week.   IT should be the Sunday before the green clean.  Board will review
    2. Green River Cleanup roundup (2018-05-05)   Rangers have been great!  Dump Voucher was not done.   King county says we are not tax exempt so we can’t get it.    Brenan discussed with Jay, we have never had this status or at least never turned into king county.  B will reimburse parks.   B just dropped recycle today.  A little over 600 pounds!!   Nature nuts were a big help and had approx 50 volunteers including many young kids.    Prior to the cleanup Alpine flipped 3 full paddle rafts and 1 cat.  They recovered, but a reminder to set safety and be vigilant.  Over the course of the cleanup approx 4 boats got hung up at the nozzle.  Big Kudos to the Green River Cleanup safety team.  Mark Burns, Matt Holmes, Shaun Heublien, Buddah, David Hablewitz all were a big help getting boats freed up and folks safe.   Brian Vogt took some amazing pics that are on Facebook.  Planning for the Green Clean 2019 is underway.     Homer and Sarah tied at the dutch oven cookoff.   B gave them a cash prize of $50.
    3. Sole Duc Round Up:   None present at meeting went.    Waiting for report – Note from David: The report is an article in the May Waterlog.
    4. Nisqually Cleanup / rowers progression.   2080 pounds.   Its the first official year.   We had a huge turnout, esp WRRR boats.  Rower’s progression and IK progression is a big hit this year.   Good stuff.
