Steve thanked all the members who participated in the pond tour this year. He presented slides showing how the pond tour impacted visiting our web site. Internet traffic on the site increased a significant amount. He also mentioned that more people pulled the tour map packet from the web site. He also stated at we only handed out about 50 maps at Wasson High School this year.

I discussed the benefits and cost savings in having you own pond vac. We covered the operation of a dual chamber vac.

Steve continued the meeting with a discussion on filter media types
