- Everything is in the October meeting minutes. One correction – after starting with $33k for the cable drop, only $4500 was left to do the actual work after paper work and studies.
- Make sure we include $500 in budget for gravel and other river access improvements.
- Skykomish – everyone puts in on the north fork on private property. Think about doing a gift or something for the owners. If there are other private river access, let Brenan know. Plan on getting thank you notes signed by members to give to them.
- Rebecca has question about Green river access. The main entrance that everyone uses was blocked. Paul/Jay probably know more, Brenan will add it to his list.

- Old Business
- Safety training for Lyles
- Lyles is interested, Nancy to talk to Randy
- Rescue 3 International (rescue3international.com) / Wavetrek Rescue (wavetrekrescue.com) are some options.
- If we do this, the idea is that whoever we elect and train would do our training next year so that we don’t have to hire anyone else.
- This year, group education budget was $1600 + $600 for scholarship. This could be carried over to next year, but hate to see budget items grow.
- Election status
- Only received about 14 votes. Encouraged the board to vote.
- Gear swap roundup
- Overloaded pizza because some people left early. Spent about $200 on pizza and had about 2 left over.
- Sauktoberfest roundup
- Went well, about 26 boats and a river board.
- Shangri-La Halloween party roundup
- Went really well. Should have it for the Cleanup if we want it. We need to fill out the form. Mark signed a form for the Halloween event. Need to do it again for the Green Cleanup.
- Safety training for Lyles
- New Business
- Tilton Trek planning – 2/14-2/16 (present day weekend)
- Will reuse the article from previous.
- Talked about a crock pot cook off, but nothing special at this point.
- Forums (Facebook, WRRR website, and Yahoo)
- Official position
- Recommendation is that we make it clear that forums are not official club benefit and requirement is that people are civil.
- Recommend switching board group to WRRR forum from Yahoo group.
- Moderator rules
- Suggest notify anyone being banned and posting something about why they were banned.
- Appoint audit committee
- Nancy, Rebecca, and David appointed. Anytime after today. Rebecca leaves after Thanksgiving, so suggest doing it before. Nov 21 @6:00 at Nancy’s house.
- Plan January general membership meeting
- January 14th board meeting – Renton roundtable
- January 22nd general membership meeting – Overlake roundtable
- Club safety equipment
- Defibrillator
- OWA has one and brings it on their trips. Cost about $1200. CPR isn’t very effective. Rebecca is certified to use one at work, it requires annual training.
- At the very least we should always have an official sweep boat for all events and that boat would carry the equipment. Table this discussion for another time.
- Sat phone
- $300 plus $20 a month for 40 messages.
- Walkie talkies
- Have done water proof ones as prizes in the past, intended to do that this year as well.
