    3. Noise complaints at the Tieton
      1. This is not a WRRR issue (problem people were not WRRR members, nothing we can do) – there is plenty of space to spread out.
      2. WRRR needs to avoid being a complaining neighbor
      3. Alpine’s party is canceled this year and they were saying it was because of complaints from WRRR. David to clarify with them that it may have been WRRR members complaining (Adam will CC David on email), but it wasn’t WRRR.
      4. Official stance is that if you want it quiet, there is paid camping nearby – we don’t want to regulate noise.
      5. If anyone complains about spots, there is no reserved spots even if you have been using the same spot every year. Last year there were complaints about where the port-a-poties were dropped and Brenan talked to them (complainer and toilet company)
      6. Mike Curtis is getting a dumpster – are we going to take some responsibility for it money wise. Alpines are always overflowing, but maybe not this year. They didn’t ask for any money. Find out how much it is and vote on approving half (up to a max of $100) either at next meeting or at Tieton if we have enough people.
      7. Port-a-poties are usually out of TP. Make sure people bring some to leave. Next year we can mention for people to bring some.
      8. See if some people want to do the upper put in.
  8. Waterlog articles needed by 9/20
    1. Sauktoberfest article – Brenan has that just needs to add the bubble wrap slide option
    2. Halloween at Shangri-La is happening, but it isn’t a WRRR thing (Mark is taking it over). Everyone invited but there is a fee ($10) – he will be around this weekend to get details
  9. Announcements and good of the order
    1. Any general membership meeting coming up – yes at the repair clinic.
    2. Brian Vogt has new can of Savon glue, just ask to reimbursed him instead of buying new.
  10. Adjourn @ 7:47
