We are excited to announce that our May monthly meeting will be IN-PERSON at the West Fork Riverside Park on Monday, May 24th, at 7pm!

We are so very excited to have an in-person monthly meeting again, and hope to see the faces of our lovely chapter members and new friends who may be interested in joining the club.

This will be an outdoor meeting at (or near) the park pavilion. Please bring your own picnic dinner and chair/blanket to sit on. Also, be sure to park only in designated parking spots, to avoid getting a ticket (this is often strictly enforced).

We ask that everyone follow the CDC COVID-19 safety guidelines and be respectful of others. Current guidelines may be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... rings.html.

We look forward to seeing your smiling faces in-person this time!

I'd like to propose an item for the club to approve funds for winter boat ball and roll sessions.

I spoke to Lee Slusarek from the NWA club where the club was doing boatball in the winter. He really likes the club being there and would be happy to host boatball and or sat roll sessions. Chlorine prices have gone way up -he was still figuring out the numbers but a max would be $85/session (2 hour boatball and/or 10-1 Saturday rolls). Can we get some kind of agenda item/vote for the next meeting to approve funds? Or something at the Jones center?

I propose that the club approve funds for 2x/month boatball sessions (assuming @wiredforsound or someone else is interested in shepherding) and 2x month or more on Saturdays for roll sessions.
