I am in favor of everything Chris has proposed. Since the club appears to be just me and him right now, we'll just approve it by consensus!

Seriously, it would be great if some of you past active members would post some feedback on the Web site, and come to the meeting on June 7. I like the idea of waiving dues for anyone who does anything for the club. I've been posting trips and TRs with very little response. Would love to see this group get active again. Hope to see you at the meeting.

I look forward to the program and hearing about their trip. I'm also looking forward to meeting some of you guys. I'm all for your suggestions in regards to the WCP.

I look forward to seeing paddlers again. Will bring the checkbook and post office box key for anyone who would like to have the treasurer position!
Love the idea of a small membership fee gratis for participants.
We have received 12 Clif bars, to be distributed at meeting--but no eating!
