New Business

Kristen brought up nominations for club officers for the next year. Discussion ensued. Members can be nominated if there is interest. Historically, unless there was interest in a position, the past year’s officers remained in position. Elections happen during the November meeting so nominations can be taken next month if necessary.

Committee Discussion

Amy’s Assessments

The rosemary cask will be tapped tomorrow. Oktoberfest will be on Saturday starting at 4pm.

Treasurer’s Report

Gene gave his report which included the club’s account total.

Barrel Committee

  • Barrel 1 – Scottish Ale (sour) – This has been emptied and kegs were distributed to members. Jeremy expressed interest in taking the barrel since the club now has two sour barrels. Gene made a motion to give this barrel to Jeremy and Kristen. The first pass will be their own with the expectation of a club donation. If that turns out good, the second pass will be a club collaboraiton. John E. second the motion. It passed with all members in agreement.
  • Barrel 2 – Lambic – This is still fermenting.

Merch

  • Bridge Run Shirts – The Bridge Run is in Savannah in December. John E. is taking orders for the shirts, which are $19. He brought in a sample for everyone to see. Orders and payments are due by the October Stammtisch.
