Salt Creek: someone decided to spray paint several large rocks lining the trail near the parking lot we need to look into cleaning up the mess.
Darryl, Arnold and Dave walked the site with LaFarge and signed the contract and sent in the forms for the first report. Next step is to go out with Darryl, Arnold or Dave for the first time. One idea would be to do a work day out there to get everyone oriented.
After the meeting in email, it was decided to hold a Twins Cleanup and site Orientation on February 21st at 10am, meet at the parking lot where we installed the sanican.
Mike Wheeler will be coordinating: We are signed up for the Earth Day beach cleanup this April 18th at Hobuck Beach. We need to make some sandwich boards for reusable signs and basic event support materials.
Surfrider wants us to do check-in from 8-11am. They want BBQ hours to be from 3 – 6pm.
We need to post a “sign up for beach cleanup” page on our site directing people to the coastal cleanup website for registration for coast savers.
Mike Wheeler is the chapter contact, the event is May 15, 16, 17th: - Mike, Darryl and Arnold are talking about going.
Basic training costs about $ 5500.00 and requires annual renewal. We are invited to come to any of the oil spill training sessions for the Tribes. Shannon will let us know when the next tribal training session is going to happen.
Shannon and Jody provided an extensive update of all actions going on in the state legislature relating to Surfrider initiatives and actions. Of particular note was an invitation to attend the Environmental Lobby Day, the Westport Jetty Project and the Neah Bay Rescue tug. We are to contact Representative Kessler for comments, feedback and thanks regarding the latest bills being worked on at the state level.
March 4th at 6:30pm will be the next meeting and we will stick with the current location behind Domino's Pizza (see website for meeting location)
