General Meeting: The meeting will be held by Zoom Virtual video at 7pm Wednesday 12 May
This will be an expanded format of a Board Meeting/General all Poggies should attend if capable. Have a question you would like on the agenda then submit as a reply to this email or directly to Norm by phone or email.
A few words about our Club. Looking forward, things are getting better. By the end of summer we all may be able to see each other again and once again be active Poggies. But for now, we are still hunkered down and waiting for our turn in the vaccination line.The Club dues is being reduced to $10 for the 2021 year. The board moved to reduce our dues because of our reduced activities. Despite the Covid crisis the Poggie Club is financially solvent and stable for now. However, we still have costs associated with our Club like insurance and webpage fees that we need to cover and we need to look to the future when we will once again be able to have our many activities. With this in mind, the board felt it prudent to reduce dues for this year.
Webpage:. Webmaster Poggie Ron Kirkland.
Webpage; Ron, Two weeks ago Ron was contacted by web page guy. The absent web page guy for months. He has some mental capacity issues. He has been paid approximately$750.00Ron has lost confidence in him and would like to fire him, and still try to get the web press training from him. Ron would rather not take him to small claims court. Web designer has lost family homes in fires in the last year and other tragedies, Ron thinks he has a PTSD issue from the last year.
Ron does not believe he is not capable of managing our web page. Ask for reimbursement of upfront money. If he does not make good on money a second option would be for him to give training on word press Summer Camp
.Calling all Poggie kids! We are sponsoring 3 boys and 3 girls for asummer Washington State Conservation Camp this July! (3rd week for girls, 4th week for boys!) Children must be age 12 prior to camp, and cannot be aged 17 after camp. First time camp goers and Poggie club member children will get priority.

Salmon in the Classroom SITC:
Poggie Louie has been working with the high school to keep their program working virtually. Our facebook site has the link to see the salmon virtually. The February 1 issue of the SUN has an article on the SITC program of Central Kitsap school district . Their program is similiar to the ones we support and is supported by other fine community organizations. i would encourage you to read the SUN article.
