Old Business:
Upcoming Dry Land Party and Coyote Sam's Social Event
The dry land social event for this month and the Coyote Sam's event will be combined, and the date changed to November 16th. The location will be at Clear Springs Restaurant Porch Room at 6:00 pm Saturday night. Bob Pryor will send out the RSVP email. This also has the effect of canceling the raft-up that was scheduled for that evening.
Upcoming Christmas Party
The board discussed possible venue's for the 2013 Christmas Party, currently scheduled for December 14th. The club currently has the Emerald Bay facility reserved for that weekend, but some that if the weather was cold and/or rainy, it is a difficult place to keep warm and dry. Also Some members might have mixed feelings about returning to LPYC's old location. Dicksie Walker proposed that they have the party at their place instead. This would have the negate the concerns over the weather and feelings about Emerald Bay. In addition, saving some money for the club by not renting the Emerald Bay Facility. There was no objection to moving the Christmas Party to the Walker's house.
Upcoming Annual Meeting
The annual meeting is currently scheduled for January 18th. The porch room at Clear Springs was reserved for the meeting. Two directors positions expire this year.
Board Member Election Information
Nominations for close on the third Monday in December which will be December 23rd this year. The Secretary will send out an email to the membership reminding of the nomination window. Two director positions expire this year, currently held by Warren Lyon, and John Springer. Members at the upcoming social event will be encouraged to consider nominating people.
Present and Future Status of Club
A renewed effort to recruit some of the ex-members back into active member status will be made by various directors.
New Business:
Possibility of a LPYC Home in Cobb Creek
At the start of the meeting, Rick Walker stated that he has the option of buying one to two lots in the Cobb Creek inlet area that would give approximately two hundred plus feet of lake access. The idea was floated of the possibility of slips and a small clubhouse on part of the property. The location appears to be deep and well protected from wind. The only negative would be some members would have a farther drive to reach this location on the south side of the lake.
Adjournment:
Motion by John Owens. Seconded by Bob Pryor to adjourn. Approved.
