New Business: Ongoing discussion of who we are as club
& who we want to be
-
Lou
on results of member survey
-
Bill, let’s
streamline general meetings with written handouts of secretary’s minutes,
treasurer's report and VOA hour, giving secretary, treasurer and VOA opportunity
to discuss specific issues
o
First issue: Barb on club relationship with Chilson - and
what we get for helping with spring cleanup, pancake breakfast and fall bazaar
-
Walt
Graul on recommendation to eliminate use of live bait when we teach kids to
fish, in favor of barbless tube jigs, grubs, bubble and fly. Goal: reduce fish mortality while we teach children
to fish, rather than just bait their hooks
-
Bill on proposal for club-sponsored
workshop at Chilson on training
ourselves and other community volunteers to teach youngsters how to fish,
led by Parks & Wildlife Angling Outreach coordinator and facilitated by
club.
-
Goals:
o
Teach
volunteers for Girl Scouts, CYO, other nonprofits how to teach their own groups
of kids to fish
o
Reduce
reliance on club as sole provider of volunteers for other organizations’
events, while improving our volunteer efforts by making them more interesting
to club members and valuable for kids and the nonprofits we support
o
Along
those lines is the recommended purchase of “Backyard Bass Educator starter set,”
20 casting plugs and 16 plastic fish used to teach casting to as many as 8
participants at a time. (fun for all
ages, including seniors)
-
Tom M on
Parks & Wildlife Partners Conference panel on nonprofits' liability. He’s reviewed our liability insurance options
and is satisfied club is fine under Volunteers of America umbrella. But we should limit volunteerism to
situations involving groups like City of Loveland, Parks & Wildlife, CYO
which have their own liability insurance
