date:                 Thursday, May 18, 2006

location:            Board Room in the River View Hotel, corner of Wood Street and First Avenue

The business part of the meeting will occur from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.   At 8:30 p.m., DON GRAHAM, the founder of the club back in 1961 (yes, that’s 45 years ago this club was started!), will talk about the early years of the club.

All Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club members are welcome to the business part of the meeting.  YCKC memberships for 2006/07 will be on sale at the door.  (All 2005/06 YCKC memberships expired March 31, 2006).

Anyone interested is welcome to the talk by Don Graham at 8:30 p.m.

The tentative meeting agenda is as follows:

 

• approval of Minutes of 2005 AGM
• Presidents report
• Treasurer’s report, and review and approval of financial statements for the club for 2005/06
• program area reports:

• youth program
• CREW program
• kayaking
• canoeing
• flatwater racing (could someone involved in this provide a report at the meeting, since there is no board member for flatwater paddling at the moment?)
• Rock the River
• communications

• Approval of the proposed YCKC Tripping Policy.   (Documents will be circulated prior to the meeting, shortly after Easter).  Because the Tripping Policy represents a substantial policy statement and position on the part of the YCKC (for something where we have never had a formal policy before), the Board would like the membership to vote on the proposed Tripping Policy at the AGM.  Two other documents (Trip Leader Guide, and Tripping info and liability form) will be provided as well for information and discussion to inform the vote on the policy.
• other business
• election of the new YCKC Board
• adjourn business meeting. 
• GUEST SPEAKER:  Don Graham
