Jones Falls Update: Baltimore County took over Lake Roland. no dam release in July. Future releases won’t cost us anything. Larry Zeaflea represents the Club on the committee. Slip possibility of a release later in the year.
Tire Run: Park has been piling up tires we’ve been pulling out for years because they don’t have money to dispose of them properly. Buddy suggested another ACA grant and/or fundraising. Buddy is trying to find out cost. Concern is whether they’ll keep taking tires that we pull out.
General Meetings: Kara reserved the room for next years meetings (thanks to Art’s wife!).
Beginners Class Next Year: Hire a teacher and support with volunteers? Home-grow another ACA teacher? Is it necessary to have an ACA instructor teach the beginners class? Regardless, a beginner’s class should have two key people: The teacher and the coordinator. The coordinator will take care of all the administrative details of the class so that the teacher can just show up and teach it.
