Treasurer’s Report   (Greg) current status – $4500 in club acct and $1100 in an 
account from  Festivus registration, with quite a lot coming in uncounted tonight
for that purpose.

Festivus (Greg)  The registration is full (88) and there is a waiting list. He 
described plans: Metal Flake plastic discs, gaters and destroyer will be for
sale, not in the player pack.  Greg requested contributions of food for the 
hot lunch that makes so much difference in the cold day.  The course will 
be using 6 temporary baskets.  One hole will finish close to tournament central.
The special holes will be mostly different from previous years.  The layouts will
be put up on the club forum (Yahoo).  We’ll need  a fire tender, and fire rings. 

Adair (Jay/Everett) Jay has talked to Parks people about replacing tee pads
with concrete and they haven’t said no.  (They also haven’t said yes).  The
economics favor concrete as the mats which cost 80 $, are only lasting 
2 years with the level of play we have.  

We need a new greenskeeper!  The names of Eric Smith and Nate Sexton 
were parlayed without their initial assent.  Roy Albert let his name be tendered.
The following ideas were banter about in our discussion: of a lead person to
work to engage the group in a consciousness raising of an email list that
would go out to engage people in work parties.  the idea of leaving an
announcement of a work party on hole 1 tee pad was promoted by Greg A.
Sean proposed putting ideas out on a face book page.  Nate Sexton then 
volunteered to be the greens keeper with Roy Albert assistant greens keeper.
(Note neither of them has a car or a truck) The club received this idea
enthusiastically.   We recognized that we will have to make this more of a
corporate or club responsibility as we have in the past, when we weren’t
riding on Everett’s back.  Nate Sexton  proposed removing the slanting tree
on 10 and: five small trees on hole 7 affecting the long position. He will
adopt a go-slow approach, clearing ideas with the Parks people, and
soliciting Club approval etc, but he has several ideas for improving the
holes including some new placements.

Adair Doubles Mike  G.: “still going on, come on out”

Willamette Greens keeper (Greg Alpert)  Greg is talking about hole 8 berm
3rd position.  A second tee pad for hole 2 is being discussed which would 
be set further back to elongate the hole.  

Disc Sales (Dave) has a lycos which is a new Innova approach disc.
There is a nice new wheelbarrow.

Respectfully submitted, Bob Burton, secy.
