HEALING WATERS PROJECT
Clay reviewed the status of the Durango event and noted that Robin Marsett has been working on a second effort at Ft Huachuca. After some discussion of materials required for the latter, John Singley moved that a maximum of $500 be approved for materials to be used for the Ft Huachuca Healing Waters program. Scott Koktavy seconded the motion. Approval was unanimous.

WEB SITE
Stan Vanagunas and Robin Marsett have been working with Mark Barlett to update the OPTU web site. Clay urged the entire board and any members interested to participate by suggesting ideas for improvement. Larry suggested that the workdays section could be improved by the addition of maps to workday locations and more information about the projects. Several comments were made to effect that changes would call for additional funding. The board agreed that in principle we would be willing pay for the improvements.


A NEW ANNUAL EVENT
After extensive discussion the board agreed that Mike should contact Ed Engle to explore the possible of participating in various ways during a full day event on October 24, 2009 at the SK Builders location. This event will stand alone as an addition to other OPTU annual events. Various other ideas were mentioned for inclusion during the event and will be followed up once the meeting date can be confirmed with the speaker..

FAMILY OUTING 2009
Scott was able to reserve Dead horse Ranch State Park for Nov 6-9 for the 2009 family outing. 10 slots are assured at this time and more can be reserved if required. The outing should be added to the web site.

GIRL SCOUTS OUTING AT ROSE CANYON
Clay noted that he had been contacted by a local girl scout troop leader to provide fishing guidance for scouts during an outing. John Singley suggested that Clay contact Steve Brown because he fishes the Canyon frequently. Clay will follow-up.

With no additional matters to be discussed Clay adjourned the meeting at 6:50PM
