   a. Social – Winter party is moved to Feb 29, 2020. Looking at selling Super Bowl squares again as a fundraiser for fireworks. Greg will set up and email members.
   b. Water Quality – Registered with CLMP and will submit Clarity and phosphorous samples again. Worked with CLMP to submit last years clarity data

   d. Lake safety – Reminded the board that we voted to not approve a Sheriff on the lake for 2020. Also requested that we renew our Michigan Lakes and Streams membership for the year.
   e. Public Relations – Kara will update the website for the winter party and summer meeting.
   f. Government Relations – Discussed the Westacres boat situation. Decided that we should not be involved in setting the number as it may provide a mechanism for other associations to obtain boat dockage and there will be no official enforcement mechanism that can be employed. Talked about working on a PR campaign to shame WB into enforcing the zoning ordinance.
   g. Associations – None present.
