The meeting of the Grand Lake Recreation Club was held 3-14-2021 at Beachpoint. Approximately 35 present. President, Brad Fisher brought the meeting to order and gave the Secretary’s report. $5,803 was the previous balance, current is $6,669. Of that, ~$2600 taken in was from the membership drive. Thank you Steve and Renee Welch for heading that up again for us this year.
The sonar unit we ordered should arrive in the next few weeks. There was a delay at the manufacturer, due to Covid. This will be used for stump detection and removal, also in the unfortunate even of a recovery.
Log dog is currently in the water. We have purchased and extra prop for the boat, for all the hard work it does, it will be nice to have on hand. The boat takes recreational fuel, please let us know if it is running low on fuel and we will take care of it. Outdoorsman continues to doing the service on the log dog, in order for us to maintain the warranty. We pay for the parts, all the labor is donated by the kind people of the Outdoorsman. Please be sure to thank Dan and Brenda if you see them!
