Attendees: Chuck, Pete Z, Damon, Noah, Matto, Jeremy, Dave, Rich, Doug, Sharon, Tish<br>Chuck taking the notes.<br>

Tish: proposes new façade for dome to make it more inviting than our private shade structure and hopefully minimize the hippy intrusions. Possibly may be built with existing materials. She will be forwarding a drawing via email for review and comment.<br>

Pete: indicates that camp will happen based on the fact that 7 people have paid dues. Dues changed from previous proposed to reflect not having to spend on buying a conex box as in 2010. Some discussion regarding budgeting/spending by pod, not really available prior to 2009. This and/or current budget/spending info not available at meeting. Advocates AS being a more year round camp to facilitate participation and fundraising. Larger projects (such as dome raising or steam sub) should not be group focused but the responsibility of whoever chooses to assume it. Camp does not have the budget for it. Copies of a 2011 line item budget not available for meeting. That individual would be in charge of everything from funding, fundraising and staffing. Fancy Blake provided an estimate of $1500 to raise and canvas dome as discussed. Estimate not available for meeting<br>Dave said that Quonset hut steam bath used at robs and Rachel’s over winter might be a cost effective alternative to silver apple and more maintenance manageable.
