I. Call to order
II. Treasurer Report - Cameron reported that the club has roughly $10,000 in all combined accounts.
III. Minutes never sent by Paul. None to approve
IV. Status of Fleet
a. Heavy weight four has broken deck, one bad seat, one seat missing, structural integrity is failing. Kashper single has broken beam. Eight has several bad seats, one is destroyed (and the coxwain has no foot boards). Blue Van Dusen seat is destroyed. One Olympus has broken gunnels and another is not rowable. Decking on white Van Dusen is failing. Foot board tracks have broken off frame of Pocock. Boston has track problem that causes seat to roll out. One four is junk, another is a parts boat. The quad is obsolete and needs repair. Oars have worn out collars. Eight boats are unrowable and four will eventually be unrowable which leaves not a lot of good boats. The Club's deficit is larger than it seems on the surface.
b. Barbara proposed that we propose to Scott Hinckley to give us an idea as to how much it will cost to fix and then Dr. S. suggested that we list these needed repairs in order of priority since it will take some time to fix all of the boats.
c. Peter King will send e-mail to Scott regarding boat repairs
d. A motion was made by Peter King to strip and scuttle the Waterloo and possibly the Black Hawk. Motion Passed
V. Membership/Fundraising
a. It was generally expressed by the board and club members that the club is in need of money to buy new equipment and do repairs
b. Barbara and Dr. S. felt that the club needs a written, programmed training schedule to get new members into the club.
c. The club could save $900 a year by building a shed to store the DCF furniture. Barbara submitted an ad showing a steel container for $350. A motion was made to purchase. Motion Passed. Peter King will purchase the shed and retain receipt for reimbursement.
d. Peter King expressed skepticism regarding how much money new members who pay only $400 each could raise. Cameron stated that other clubs have hundreds of members and that the money is significant with that high of membership.
e. Barbara will draft a training schedule for board approval that can be put on the website and put into hardcopy for existing and prospective members.
f. Steve Goodman will reinstate the Tuesday night rows
g. Peter will add Steve Goodman to the board list
h. Peter will e-mail Linda Armstrong (new member) about getting her application materials to Cameron

VI. What is the club's mission statement
a. Barbara submitted a proposed one that took into account Peter King's original draft and added some comments from other members. She will e-mail this around for approval.

VII. Club/Board Member Participation
a. A discussion ensued regarding how to get people in the club to volunteer. It was suggested that we follow another club's model that has dues of $600 for non-volunteers and $300 for volunteers. Peter King stated that board members who miss two or more meetings should no longer be on the board.
VIII. Other business
A. Dr. S. Mentioned to maybe pay the coaches more for coaching sessions. Will discuss more at next meeting?
B. Also discussed who is responsible for damage to boats during trip to/from a regatta. Coaches should be held responsible for any damage to boats during travel due to neglect by not making sure they were loaded properly. If it is a single then some responsibility will go to the rower as well?
IX. Next meeting is June 3rd
X. Adjournment
