May 20 Officer Meeting Minutes (emerging like Brood X)

Officers in attendance: Mike Broome, Zeke Van Fossen, Taylor Tibbs, Ken Walsh, and Elise Sanderson

Other members in attendance: Tine Rassalle

We firmly established that Nick Socky would be the speaker at the May TriTrogs meeting, and Mike was collecting a blurb about the subject.

We then spent a lot of time figuring out how to transport large objects to Cary for a June meeting, but then later we abandoned those discussions.

Eno River Park is open until 10 PM during summer months, and we talked extensively about a hands-on program for an in-person outdoor meeting in June. People should bring their own camp chairs and masks just in case rain demands that the meeting be moved indoors. The June meeting will be held at Mike and Lisa’s house; they will supply rakes and shovels for people to lean on, if desired. (Doing yard work is strictly optional.) The tomato plants are coming up great this year.

We discussed the May 25 agenda briefly and will try to offer breakout rooms at the end of the meeting so that attendees can plan caving trips. Zeke will send the link out on the day of the meeting. Taylor will discuss the survey results and other Covid-related plans.
