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

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.
