November Membership Meeting – Pat
The membership meeting committee is proposing a 5-day event. Clearwater has always had a free buffet for the military for Veteran’s day. Clearwater proposed that they would fund if we could cook. So, big pits come in on Wed afternoon for Thurs am cooking. Free rooms at Clearwater for those participating. We will serve the meal on Thursday PM. Clearwater will do the dishes. Load-in on Friday for Saturday competition. Working on arranging an advanced judging class Saturday, followed by the judges meeting and competition. Then meeting, dinner/awards, etc. Then in-person board meeting on Sunday. Possible Harry Soo backyard class on Friday morning. Motion to move ahead and continue planning this 5-day plan until we come up with a dealbreaker passed. Clearwater has averaged 800 in Feed the Troops in past year events. Possible golf outing on Friday morning for those that don’t want Harry Soo.
Old Business:
Response to unauthorized usage of PNWBA rules
Pat took on the task of getting hold of these people and they are not returning email or phone messages. Someone brought up the Grant county 1st annual Chillin’ and Grillin’ event on 9/11 which uses PNWBA Rules verbatim. We need a canned response to incidents such as these. It was suggested that we look into developing a partnership with them rather than threatening legal action. Week or 2 with Pat then bump up to the desk of the President.
Motion to adjourn the meeting was passed at 7:35 pm.
The next board meeting will be on July 28, 2021, at 6:30 pm.
