Following a social hour and dinner, Leon Mertz spoke about an adaptive boat launch ramp he hopes to install at Lake Loramie to make it possible for handicapped individuals to enjoy kayaking on the lake. A brief video was presented. The members agreed to consider supporting the project and will make a decision at the next meeting.
