[Chaos-l] Farrington boat ramp

[Jayme Hanzak]

Membership card would be a good thing. We would have to update them yearly obviously.
That way the game wardens would know that the observers are current members and are 
covered under the permit. I would think that they would appreciate it. 

As far a Mark goes, He's always been a rebel.

Jayme,

I think 12 to 15 is a good number ... I've rarely been there when we've 
had more people than that.   And I agree ... we should photocopy the 
permit, and just give a copy to everyone to keep in their car.

I'll get you a current CHAOS roster by the end of the day ... so you can 
list out all of the people covered by the permit.  You may want to 
mention to Erik that we take on new members in June, and will ask for a 
different list of people each year about that time.

And we may want to ask everyone about the actual place.   Some of us are 
on the end of the parking lot, others (like Mark South) like the other 
road.   We should decide.

[And as a wacky different approach ... I was wondering if we could get 
the permit written in such a way that anyone carrying a valid membership 
card for CHAOS would be covered.  I just looked, and it's possible to 
order membership cards (we could have our logo) for everyone for less 
than $50 (if I did the math right).   Does that seem like a good idea?  
Or does that complicate things too much?]
