UVM Clinic:
- may be falling through, they can’t find boats

Summer general membership meeting:
- With UVM falling though, James is thinking about having at his house instead
- James proposes Saturday, August 19th, everybody ok with that
Competing VPC Trips: Should we monitor who and when official trips are scheduled?
- General consensus is yes for ACA/VPC trips
Official vs Bootleg Trips:
- ACA provides liability insurance for trip leaders and the club to prevent them from having to pay for lawsuits
- Dan provided clarification on what ACA insurance covers

- Rich wanted someone to check with ACA on differentiating between official vs bootleg
- James to follow up w/ACA
- Dan moves that we have a moderator/gatekeeper and set of criteria to determine when/where/who can lead VPC sponsored Trips. Everybody says ok. Now we need to discuss the criteria.
Questions for ACA: Rich to follow up w/ACA
1.) Where is appendix A in the PAC manual for single day river trips?
2.) Are their sample plans that meet the requirements of appendix A
3.) Have there been any situations where an ACA affiliated club has needed liability insurance and has been supported or not?
4.) Can we advertise Official and Unofficial trips in the same “box” on the web: James to follow-up w/ACA
