February 21st Indoor meeting at Matt's house. 

The forecast was for rain. However, the day was sunny but just a bit cold to have headed for the lake. Planning for the year was discussed. Winter projects were available. Some demonstrations planned but we were too busy talking and eating to get much done. Almost forgot to bring a camera. Dave Watson & family called with regrets for this meeting due to personal commitments. However, he said that they would like to sponsor our annual picnic/night float this year. We will discuss this further as the year progresses.
