Meeting Minutes/Xmas Party

December 20, 2015 – Jodie and Linda’s House

Thank you - Jodie and Linda for your hospitality.

Attendance:  A lot of people

New Business:

We had great food, friends and presents for the evening, all-in-all it was a wonderful evening. Thanks for everyone’s hard work.

Jill passed out membership renewal forms and took money.

We voted and passed Larry for President, Jill for Treasurer, Kathy for Secretary, Chuck for Webmaster and Nicole is now the venue organizer/secretary if needed.

A funny thing happened…Chuck made a new Xmas Club paddle, as the other one was AOL for many years, and then we found “THE PADDLE”. Jill received it from Pete earlier in the year, so she wrapped it up and now we have two. So we decided to keep with the original as it has a lot more character.

Future Trips:

We are planning a camping trip to McSwain Reservoir in April. Chuck and Kathy have made reservations starting Wednesday, April 18th and several other people have made their reservations for the end of the week and weekend. We are staying in the “E” loop and are by the water.  So we can just launch from our camping spots when the urge takes us. Hope everyone can make it. Jill will be sending out emails with more details.

Old Business:

Jill has canoe related books and tapes available for anyone who would like to check them out.

Nicole has the official club photo album available for viewing. Anyone interested please contact Nicole so she will know to bring to a future meeting. Also, if anyone has photos they want to add please contact Nicole.

Chuck is always looking for photos to add to the website from past paddles. Please email him at [email protected] if you want post photos of your trip.

Make sure to check the website in the future trip area for a list of the upcoming trips.

If anyone wants to add trips before the next monthly meeting, please complete the trip planning form and send to Ben Farnum and send Chuck an email so he can add to the website.

Happy Paddling, see you all on the water in 2016 and the end of 2015.

Kathy Thurston, Secretary
