Voting this year was extremely low, with a few more votes tendered at the Dec. Meeting. (I don't remember how many, more than the 3 required).
I'm coordinating three cleanup trips in February and March on the Haw River. This is a great opportunity to support one of the most popular rivers in the Triangle.
The trips are being done in conjunction with the Haw River Assembly's annual cleanup in March.
So far, Carolina Canoe Club members have collected 29 bags of trash for this effort. Unfortunately, there is still plenty of trash on the river.
CCC member Larry Ausley reported recently that the dock at the Robeson Creek access on Jordan Lake has been damaged by recent high water levels.
I left an email and phone messge for the range who is evaluating the damage. He's in training this week, so I may not hear from him unitl next week.
I'll report back to the club when I learn more.

Let us give special thanks to CCC member Maurice Blackburn who served as the club's representative during the Catawba-Wateree relicensing negotiations with Duke Energy and many, many stakeholders. This required years of effort.
The 40-year license went into effect Nov. 1, 2015 and will expire in 2055, although Duke wants the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to make this a 50-year license.
Larry Ausley seems to enjoy filling his canoe up with trash.
Thanks to Larry, there were 1,000 fewer bottles floating around rivers and streams in 2015. It's something he has done for the last five years.
On a day that Larry cut two trees out of eddies on the Lower Haw, he topped his eddy-clearing efforts by collecting more bottles on the way to the take out.
