6.      Scott Leblanc came up with idea for a non-boater challenge.  Each non-boater (7 in all) puts $5.00 in the kitty per tournament and the highest scoring non-boater wins the money at the end of the season.  To date, five non-boaters have put in at Manchaug – need to confirm names – at this meeting the last two members that did not put in money need to either pay for Manchaug or they will not be included in the challenge.  Non-boaters can pay in full for the season or pay as you go.  See Scott Leblanc for details.
