Committee reports:
Publicity: No report
Cabin Hosting: A change in how volunteer hours are reported was discussed. Each individual will report their hours instead of the chairmen. Jerry Stahl will find out what days we will be working at Monarch Lake. The Englands and Bob Drickey and Sharry will chair Junco cabin for the season.
Registration boxes: Roger Shaw reported that Monarch use keeps increasing. Baker trailhead had a big increase last summer also with more backpackers. The rest are status quo.
Daisy Days: Beth will call the Forest Service to see what days we could work. We may be working at another site since Monarch Lake is completed. Weekends would be a first choice but the Forest Service will make the decision on the date.
Orientation hikes: Ingrid needs a co-chairman as she will not be here all summer. The hikes will be held on Thursdays this year. Newsletter: Joan Shaw reported that about 70 had been mailed out. It was decided that the newsletter is important and we will continue it. Joan needs articles and jokes.
Bird hikes: There will be two this year.
Flower hikes: There will be a few probably in July.
E mail: Al is still figuring out the best system.
T-shirts: Joyce passed out an inventory. She and Susan will order hats with our logo . Prices for the shirts will stay the same.
Booth at the Art Affair and Fraser River Days: Joyce will get dates for both so people can sign up at the April meeting.
Membership list: Mary Bernard explained the list. There are 150 members. The list will be sent by e mail plus there will be about 40 paper copies at the April meeting. New members will be announced at the meeting. We need more brochures so Al will make more. Membership renewals should be collected and recorded by the Treasurer not the membership chairman. This will be worked out with the new Treasurer.
Snowshoe hike: Last one for the season will be in March to Rabbit Ears Pass. Date to be announced.
