    Do we have a schedule of afternoon programs for next Saturday?  

    I strongly suggest a brainstorming session on mapping plans and possibilities right before dinner so that as many interested members as possible can attend.  I think it is that important.

    Do two interesting discussions have to be simultaneous?  The rogaine route choice discussion is very pertinent to the President's Cup score-o the exact next day!

    You asked, and we heard you.

    We will move the discussion of 50th anniversary events to follow the business meeting.

    Definately covered alot of topics tonight.  I will be help leading the mapping committee for 2017 so we can accomplish some tangible goals. 

    "Committe":
    Fred Kruesi, Ed Scott, Bob Burg, Steve Aronson, Wyatt Riley??, (Vadim helping on Logistics)

    Let me know if you are interested and I will be in contact with the members shortly about setting up some meetings (probably phone+some at same location) where we can set our goals and get some of the projects done we've been discussing throughout the years.

    Some things that came up:

    1. Map printing and dealing with standard paper sizes on maps that were traditionally covering a larger area 
    2. Assessing and recording current state of maps with help from recent course setters
    3. Decided where to use professional mapper resources for updates or new maps
    4. Training for club mappers in the field and/or OCAD for quick updates ( I think I have a good area for this) 
    5. Setting up a website to keep things organized
    6. Other stuff
