November 8th meeting minutes (4 Seasons )

1. introductions to new people (Ben Sabin)
2. Treasurer’s report indicating that we have 14,006 at this time with a few bills to be paid
3. Secretaries report accepted as read
4. Heard a request for support from Dave N. representing the quiet lakes assoc(Ghost, Teal and Lost Land Lakes) requesting a donation towards their “ECO-HARVESTER” , a machine to improve habitat by getting rid of choking weeds from the lake. It is much more than a weed cutter as it actually removes the plant and restores the lake environment for aquatic life mainly fish populations……… This project was up for motion, seconded and approved by all for a total donation of $2500. Possibility that this machine can be used by other lake associations for use on their lakes.
5. viewed and approved buttons to be sold this year for $5. They would say “I am a fish Stocker” The idea would be to promote that each button so
ld would pay for 3 extended growth walleyes to be stocked in approved lakes in our area (fish 7-9 inches). Rick will order these.. approval for 1000 to be ordered.
6. Desmond on top of things with social media…. need to get her the information and pictures for her communications to be effective…. will get this done this week … thanks to Desmond for handling this project.
