Old Business
New Equipment:
We spent $2500 in new equipment
5-6 new PFDs (adult, youth, toddler and infant)
3 inflatables – 2 solo and 1 tandem
5-6 new Shredready Helmets
Paddles
Pending approval by Treasurer we need to purchase 3 pumps for the Inflatables, which are $40 each. We also need to purchase paint or stickers to mark the new equipment. We would use some sort of epoxy/polyester/vinyl paint that wouldn’t affect the warranty on the inflatables. These expenses would not exceed $200. Movement for vote made by B. Sandmann and seconded by S. Workman.
14 unanimous voted yes – Passed
Proposed dates for gear check/labeling potluck/party will be found on the forum
Gear will not be rented out until the stuff is labeled and release/application is put together.
