III. Approval of Minutes
A. It was noted the minutes from the May 2016 Board Meeting needed to be
amended to reflect Kathryn Israelson as the Newsletter Chairperson, Don
Voeks as the River Clean-Up Chairperson, and Rob Bitney as the
Chairperson of Sales. Mike Myrick motioned the May Minutes be approved
with the noted changes to be completed. Robert Wisher seconded the
motion and it passed unanimously.
IV. Treasurer’s Report
A. John Hydorn was absent and a Treasurer’s Report was not presented.
However, Steve Rothenbucher noted the Auction conducted at the 2016
Sandy Steelheaders Banquet was very successful.
V. Sandy River Classic
A. Joyce Sherman from ANWS reported the turnout for the 2016 Classic was
very poor; 23 anglers. Additionally, only four fish were reported caught.
Overall, the cost of the event was $2740.00 and $3700.00 was raised;
bringing into question its worth considering the time and additional
resources that were expended.
B. Rothenbucher recommended the Sandy Chapter no longer participate in
the event, while ANWS remains in charge of managing it. He believed it
casts a poor light on our chapter ability to orchestrate similar events.
Rothenbucher further noted a change of venue should be considered,
sponsors needed to be more aggressively pursued and followed up on, and
the tavern primarily associated with the event should share in the cost of
advertising.
C. Myrick motioned the Sandy Chapter dissolve its relationship with future
Classics until significant changes are made. Wisher seconded and motion
passed unanimously.
D. Myrick and Wisher agreed to prepare a formal letter to ANWS advising
them of the chapter’s decision.
