New Business
· Winter Pot Luck: Rich spoke to Shawn from Queeny and the Grant Shelter may not be torn down by January. He did mention that there is a visitor center at JB. Rich walked it off and thinks it’s about 2/3 to ¾ the size of the shelter. Shawn said to let him know if we would like to use the visitor center and he would see what he could do. The board told Rich to get into contact with Shawn and move forward with the winter pot luck at JB.
