Bill Wallace asked if we should proceed with membership in the Striper Club that was discussed at our last meeting since dues are $50 rather than the $25 discussed at the last meeting. Followed by discussion of the benefits, it was moved, seconded and approved that we pay the $50 membership fee.

After discussion of collections from renewal billings it was decided Julie would rebill monthly.
Sam spoke on the up coming cleanup on September 11. Everyone should meet at Tri-County at 8:00 and bring chain saws, rakes, trash cans, ropes and hooks. The skimmer will not be here for either of the September cleanup days.
It was suggested that Teresa Rogers and Liz Parcells be added to our e-mail lists. It was reiterated that we need an AEP representative on the Board.
Richard reported that he got clean up articles in several local papers. He has also done some updates to the web site.
Bill W reported that he had sent the proposal for mile markers and navigational aids to AEP but had not yet heard anything.
Regarding recognition/appreciation for Bill Engledove, it was decided we would offer an honorary membership with automobile stickers and a gift certificate which Bill Wallace will get and give to Julie who will write a letter.

All Board members should be considering budget money we need that we should present to the county representatives on September 27. Sam mentioned clean up needs.
