Old Business

Marina Updates:

No new news on the marina grounds. The current owner still want to sell the marina, lots and land behind the marina as one unit, and still wants for any prospective buyer to pay for the appraisal. Steve Lowe brought up the question on the long term focus of the club. Rick Walker stated his opinion that the club should focus on the club enjoying the use of the boats and events since there appears to be no improvement in the marina situation either at Emerald Bay or any other suitable location. Steve Lowe and Rick Walker will follow up one last time with the lake authority on any other possibilities.
