- Ed brings up the disaster relief efforts for Puna- Sure Foundation, Red Cross, Food Basket and Salvation Army are all assisting. He would like to see us help out in some way as a club. Cliff makes a motion that 50% of the proceeds from GWCR, not to exceed $2000 go to relief efforts for volcano disaster. Guy seconded, approved by all.
- Pier pass is not an issue as Steve Columbo has been arriving at the end of the day to assist with transportation of canoes from Kona.
- Equipment Report
- John brought up an issue that Jun’s canoe is on our insurance policy because he lets us use it, however, it is also being used by non-club members. If there is an accident by non-members, it would not be right for our policy to cover it. He suggests a memorandum that will state we are responsible for the canoe when it is in our use, but not otherwise. Ed will talk to Jun about the situation.
- Bearings have been fixed on one of the dollies. Hubs are shot, will not last long. Weights added to Kama O Kalani. Seat is fixed.
- No report on storage unit or safety equipment.
- No timeline on Bradley, hopefully mid July
- Vicki Serrao is the head of the committee for naming of the new Bradley. The entire club will vote on the name for the canoe via Survey monkey. Suggested names are:
- Nani Kai
- Pakalana
- Ki `Aukai
- Makani I Ke Kai
- Pomaikai
- Kiholo
- Fundraisers
- Lavaman 2019-Phillip reported that Lavaman is very happy with our efforts. Looking ahead to next year, water patrol donation to remain the same ($300). Transitions area (parking lot)- if the club wants to do that, we need to let Phillip know right away. Tear down to be hired out. We can participate in set up and finish line at the beach. Lavaman wants to pay us $500 to move the canoes again and use our beach area. 2018 we got $1500 for set up and tear down plus $500 for moving the canoes. Phillip will get back to us with contribution amount. The club is requesting $1800 for set up, transition, water patrol and moving the canoes.
