?	The conference room is a great place to meet with conference call capability, 
computer display to big screen, and internet access.
?	Discussion was held about retrieving the ergometers from the boat yard and 
repairing them.  The ergs will be moved to Bryan Fraser’s house so that 
necessary repairs can be ascertained and accomplished.  The tin siding cover for 
the ergs at the boat yard will be repaired and permanently erected so that the 
ergs can be safely returned to the boat yard after repairs are made.  Chain and 
shock cord are $36, and is the minimum repair expected for each erg.  Plans 
were made to retrieve the ergs within the week with special permission to cross 
the blown out culvert being obtained from Lou.
?	 The group felt an inventory list of all equipment is necessary so that a 
Memorandum of Understanding can be sent to the YMCA stating that the 
Shasta Rowing Association, Inc., (SRA) is assuming ownership of the equipment 
unless they object within 30 days.   There is nothing in writing from the YMCA 
concerning the disposition of the equipment, some of which was donated, 
some of which the Y purchased and was repaid by membership dues.  Reese 
will prepare the MOU for Lou’s signature.
?	It was learned that the Feather River Rowing Club is struggling and may 
dissolve.  It was felt that it would be in the best interest if the SRA obtained its 
own insurance from USRowing since it is coming due anyway in the next few 
months.  Bryan Fraser will investigate the cost and requirements to obtain 
insurance.  The SRA may need to join USRowing with a club membership.
?	The second annual Rowing Bonanza was discussed.  Lou has made reservations 
for the group 1 picnic area for Saturday, May 20.  Please mark your calendars.
?	Dues structures was discussed.  After the meeting, via email, it was decided it 
would be in the best interest to change the structure so that people join for an 
entire year regardless of when they join.  This is slightly more work for the 
treasurer since memberships will expire at different times of the year, but it 
was felt that this provided the best opportunity for the SRA to prosper since 
many people drop out after a few months anyway.
?	The bent rack at the boat yard, from the fallen tree, needs to be bent back into 
shape.  The vespoli 4 at the boat yard needs to be surveyed for any necessary 
repairs.  The equipment inventory for the MOU, the erg retrieval for repairs, 
the bent rack retrieval (for repair), and vespoli 4 survey can all be done when 
the ergs are picked up hopefully within the week.
?	Concern was expressed that no one has heard from the past/current treasurer 
Jeff Keller.  Lou has left a message on his cell phone.  He has the 2016 ledger, 
and knows who has paid dues and has the waivers from members.  It is advised 
that nobody pay dues until we hear from Jeff.  Another treasurer may be 
necessary depending on what Jeff says when he is finally contacted.  As soon as 
we hear from Jeff, we’ll let everyone know.  Lou and Kevin will try to reach him.
?	It was decided that a new website, and possibly another URL, is 
needed.  Yvonne Heaney will lead the development of a new SRA website with 
a link to the existing Whiskeytown Rowing Club website.  All felt that a good 
website was critical to success.  Yvonne has experience with web site 
development, we will be using a WordPress theme.  We need good 
pictures.  We’re hopeful we’ll get some good pictures this weekend.
Next Meeting is Monday, February 27.  364 Knollcrest Drive, Suite 101.  6 PM

Subject: Update
 
Hello Rowers – some updates:
 
?	The state and federal 501C3 paperwork was submitted last week.  If anyone 
wants to see them, let me know.
?	2 more Directors have volunteered:  Kevin Fox and Melanie Dubose.   This 
makes 7 and there’s still room.
?	Approval was obtained to hold the monthly meeting at the River Bluff building 
at 6 PM, NW corner of Hemstead and Knollcrest, Suite 101 (364 Knollcrest).
?	Recurring board meeting is currently proposed to be 4th Monday of Every 
Month.  Next meeting January 23 (this coming Monday).  
?	Melanie Dubose has agreed to work on the McConnell Fund application as we 
hope the Tax ID number will arrive by the March 8 deadline.
?	Director Bryan Fraser still works for the Sac State Aquatic where he is a driver 
and a certified coach.  According to Bryan, there are some used 8s that Sac State 
wants to get rid of that might be a nice fit for our upcoming rowing season.  
?	The Whiskeytown boat yard is closed until culvert repairs are completed
?	There’s still time to comment on the by-laws and articles of incorporation by the 
next meeting, as they weren’t required to be submitted with the applications.  
If you want off this email list, just let me know.  Soon the website will post 
relevant info instead - as we all get too much email. A novice web designer has 
stepped forward to assist with web development.
