Portland Gold Prospector's, Inc.

Secretary's Report March 19th, 2023  -  Board Meeting Minutes
The meeting was called to order at 3:15 P.M.
2023 Sportsmen's Show  -  We had about 60 people sign up who were interested  in receiving our newsletter at the show.  We discussed the time period of how long people should receive it before being dropped off our list.  We came to the conclusion that nobody will be dropped off the newsletter list that Tim emails out to everyone but that the sign in list that we have at our monthly meeting will be a two year limit if people stop coming to the monthly meetings.
Selling Richard Ruth's remaining stuff  -  Jim brought up that we need to try and sell the remainder of Richard Ruth's stuff that Elaine donated to our club.  Jessyca said that she is going to be participating at the NW Largest Garage Sale on April 15th at the Clark County Fairgrounds in Ridgefield Washington.  She said she has three booths reserved and she would let our club use one of the booths.  Jim and John Mink have volunteered to load up some of Richards stuff and try to sell the stuff at the Garage Sale.  We do need a few more volunteers to help with this event.
2024 Gold and Treasure Show  -  Roy Houtz who is the President of the Mid Valley Prospector;s Club in Brownsville Oregon is trying to put together a Gold and Treasure Show for April 19th through the 21st in 2024 at the Linn County Fairgrounds.  He reached out to us to see if we would be interested in participating in the event since the GPAA will not be having anymore Gold Shows in the future due to financial reasons.  We think this would be a great event and a good fundraiser for our club.  It's all going to depend on how many vendors and sponsors that he gets as that would determine how much it would cost us to have a booth there and if it would be profitable for us.
TyRoy  - Jerry Johns has already reserved the Backhoe for our outing in June which is great because we will need it since we won't be using Charlie's this year.
New President  -  Great news John Mink has stepped up to the plate and will be our new President.  He will be going to Alaska the middle of June until the middle of August though and our Vice President will have to fill in for him.  
The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 P.M.
