Reports from Committees and Directors:
John Springer noted that there were three previous members that haven’t renewed as of yet. He would send reminders to them. In addition, Rick Walker will follow up with one of the members.
Rich Munson is updating a list of members for his and the club’s use. Once finished he wanted the boards input before sending it out to the membership. There were no objections.
Discussions also centered around the Saturday races on the format, and the club having to buy trophies when a non-member of the club wins, as the current situation doesn’t encourage them to support the club.
Ben Hooks mentioned with the upcoming Wednesday night races, they needed to round up and check the buoys for that race series.
Steve Lowe asked about changing the directors meeting time due to scheduling conflicts. Tuesday seems to be a good day and the time around noon was suggested, and was agreeable.
John Springer also proposed giving out one of the left over Regatta T-shirts as a door prize at the upcoming Third Friday Social.

Formation of Regatta Committee:
John Springer would like to get all the details worked out before several directors leave for the summer. The Fall Regatta is scheduled for the weekend of October 13th, and 14th. Which wouldn’t leave much time to plan things once everyone gets back. Dana Adams, Ben Hooks, Chuck Brazell and Rich Munson have all volunteered to help already.
Membership Information and Disbursement:
Once Rich Munson finishes updating the member roster, it is planned to make it available by sending out via email, and also available on the website via a member’s only logon and password section.

John Springer suggested buying six caps and bur-gees that are given to new members. The last ones have been given out. Steve Lowe made a motion for it, and it was accepted by acclamation.
