2004 Annual Meeting
Colchester, VT
March 22, 2004
Present: Erik Breiland (Pres), Bill Purdy, David Jacobowitz (Treas),
Michelle Price, Lynne Leach, Bart Brigidi, Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne, Tim
Ebbers.
No new officers/directors came forward, so the board and officers were
left as is:
President: Erik Breiland
Vice President: Susan MacLennan
Secretary: John Doty
Treasurer: David Jacobowitz
We will put together a hypothermia-safety/first aid kit. Bill will
compile the medical part, Dave will donate a sleeping bag. Someone will
get a plastic chest to store it so the critters don't get in.
Volunteer?
Erik will purchase a thermopad for the kit.
Where is the pattern for the mountain logo and green paint for the
oars?
The pattern is just measured off tape. Tim may have the paint.
Tim is going to look for the paint and pattern.
Bill wants to paint his empacher blades. Lynne and Michelle will be
painting the club blades in April.
Bart and his friend Julie would like to join the club to be able to row
through June. That's OK. Bart will be here for a couple months.
$50 dues was agreed upon.

==================================================================
The oars are CII seconds, a matched set of ultralights for a double.
Budget for 2004
We project 16 members, which should raise $1400 in dues
Expect some expenses for Morris repair.
We want to build the bank account to about $10,000 in 5-7 years so we
can have an influence on the Thom property when they decide to sell.
What will UVM do? They seem to want to work with the club.
Clarification: Boat slot rental is negotiated directly with Gordon
Thom.
The club rents a slot for Morris, but Gordon and Perry want to retain
control of what happens on their property. Be respectful of that
interest.
Erik will talk to Gordon about the waiting list to get into the
boathouse.
Does anybody else want to be on the board?
We talk about boathouse plans and possible other locations.
Someone will put markers on the logs in the stream so we might not hit
them. Some more discussion of the traffic during walleye season and the
fishing derby.
Jarlath Report: Julie and he are having a baby in September. Gifts: two
books to Tim and Dave in thanks for use of Endicott. Video screening of
doubles clash at Harvard Bridge at the Head of the Charles.
Some war stories about flipping. Where's "Bubba" the fat boy?
Dues were collected from Dave, Michelle, and Jarlath.
