Minutes for the February 9, 2003 Meeting
Officers' Meeting : started 6:40pm
attendance - Chris, Katrina, Jen, Alison, Mike
Should we consider going back to 7-8pm for the full crew meeting? -> yes,
because we really don't have enough material to fill up an hour and a half.
Jen did her Treasurer's report - we should have $825, we actually $515 or
somewhere thereabouts
Budget : Have Jen draw up a proposed tentative budget, showing what we took in
for dues this year, the balance from last year, and predicted expenses
for this coming year.
Caving : Three out of the five officers interested, Mr. S., Mr. O. and Mrs. T.
are all interested. Mr. and Mrs. L. are avid cavers, and
might be interested in joining us.
There was a question of where we'd et hard hats - suggestions of the DPW or
maybe COPE.
Full Crew Meeting :
Attendance : Kate, Vinny, Isaac
Canoeing possibilities -> Wilgus State park on the Connecticut River in VT, the
Sudbury River, Somerset Reservoir in VT
Blackstone River Valley...
Early May = high water, so things might be dangerous, and there isn't a very
high canoeing skill level in the crew
Before the trip we should probably do a canoeing safety review thing -> go to
say, Mr. O.'s house and do a review of strokes and such in the water
Boat availability -> we have some among crew members, you can rent canoes at
Sudbury and at Wilgus, but not at Somerset.
...we could also go camping on Boy Scout Island
Mr. R. had the idea that we could climb Mt. Washington Easter weekend
-> the general consensus was that it sounds like a good idea, but it'll depend
on the weather.
AT hike - school vacation week, leave Thursday instead of Friday because it
would be easier to do a three day hike instead of a two day hike. We'd be
doing a section in CT.
The Snow-tube trip was rescheduled to Feb. 21
The Road Rally is May 10. the theme is "What's Bugging You"
June 21 is COPE Day at Resolute
VC - to meet with the older scouts to discuss interest in canoeing vs. hiking
No one is working at camp, so we could move the trip to July....
March 16 there'll be a presentation on caving equipment and such
Jen did the Treasurer's report....
Pete's Place won't be happening because of calendar conflicts.
==>Meeting was closed early at 8:05pm because we had nothing left to talk
about.<==
