05.3  Replacement of Current Stones

Bruce reported that we had a stone break and he was able to repair it.  Canada Curl has 2-4 replacements we could get.  Our current rocks are getting near the end of their life and we should think about planning for replacements.  We can get approx. $2400 / sheet as trade in and new ones will cost approx $60-70,000 plus freight for 6 sheets.

 

Lenneke to see if a grant is available for this.

06. Manager’s Report

- Incident on Halloween.  Board agreed to send a letter of suspension of visitation privileges to Ken Armstrong.  Board agreed to send a letter to John & Joy Kelly (Ken was their guest) and remind them that members are responsible for guests’ behavior and future incidents may result in their suspension.  Board agreed to send a letter to Colby Cook that if he pays for the broken glass there will be no further action taken at this time.  However, a note will remain on file and future incidents could result in suspension of membership.
