OLD BUSINESS

Maximum of 30 members will be allowed. People need to realize they have to pay to use the facilities, not just park outside of the campground and try to use the bathroom facilities.

Facebook/MeetUp – It was explained by Jeff Stoeger that users will have to agree that the Chapter is not held responsible for meetings, that this is a person to person commitment with no chapter involvement or responsibility.

The yearly cost is $1848 for a 10x10 closet. The board will continue to look into other alternatives or cheaper accommodations. Meanwhile, members will try to rearrange the storage closet at the Glenn Otto Building to try to better utilize the space and try to include items from the storage unit.
Record Keeping –Leslie H. and Greg R. will be discussing a retention schedule for document record keeping.
ByLaws/Audit- Greg R. discussed By Law changes and the time it takes to do yearly annual reviews and property inventory. It was determined an extra audit is not required if an annual review is done. Financial portion of all reports must be turned into the Association office monthly. A Draft of the Final copy of Chapter By Laws were sent to board members for review. Greg R noted 3 housekeeping items on page 2 & 3 that needed to be corrected. A request was made that a revision date was added to the bottom of the document.

Association Business- Mike Myrick stated that Allison’s last day at the ANWS office is June 27th. She will be going to PGE to be their Environmental Communications expert. Contact Maggie or Morgan if we need anything until they replace her.
Chapters need to remember all chapter auctions need to be 120 days or more from the Association Auction performed each year in November.
NEW BUSINESS
Association Meeting Update-New membership dues were decided at the last Association Meeting and a new development person has been nominated. The Association has tabled the new logo due to poor response. A new logo design was planned since Idaho is no longer part of the Association of NW Steelheaders. New office space was also discussed since Tom VanderPlaat though the Association needed better space for public visits.
Sandy Chapter Business Cards- Greg R. went online to Vistaprint after being referred by Tim Burke from the McGloughlin Chapter. He found a coupon that cuts the price in half for a generic card. Jeff B and Greg R will work together to come up with an appropriate design.
We discussed using our original logo. A generic 2 sided card is approx. $50.00 for 1000 business cards. It was discussed to use no gloss cardstock so members could write their names on them. Gregg R will bring another mockup of a generic card to July’s board meeting.
August Board meeting has been canceled
Annual Meeting- July 21, 2018 in Newport, Oregon. Board discussed which Sandy Chapter delegates could attend. Steve Rothenbucher, Jeff Stoeger/Greg Reed & Terri Boughton stated they could attend. At the Association Annual Meeting Mike Myrick (as an Executive Committee Member) will be putting his name forward as the “alternate Delegate” to the National Wildlife Federation Annual Meeting. Mike has asked for our support.
After School Fishing Program – Steve Rothenbucher, Jim Cathcart and Jenny Ammon are discussing an after school fishing program for schools receiving grants. Steve R. will bring more information to our next meeting as to which types of programs they want to offer.
Volunteer hours- Greg R. needs all volunteer hours turned in by the 30th of each month so he can record them by the end of the following month in order to get credited for those hours!
Volunteers need to track the total hours from their front door and back to their home after the event, the total miles driven and the date/event you volunteered. Terri B will give Greg the volunteer list from the Women’s Fishing Event.
