•     Should the Club move forward with gathering the Toy’s 4 Tots funds from our Raffle earnings from the year?  IOR annually has donated 10% of our Raffle earnings to this Charity and would like feedback/vote.  Club voted unanimous yes vote to donate the normal 10% to Toys4Tots this year.

·         Idaho Pizza is not allowing for Club meetings until next year.  If you’d like to volunteer your home/barn/garage for winter meetings please let Justin or Ginny know.  Thank you, for your participation and patience during all of this!

·         A topic brought up tonight during the education discussion, “Who would like to learn CPR?”  If you are interested please contact Marcy Sullivan to get you name on a list to participate in a CPR course. 

·         President Justin Simms announced that the Rocket Run Planning Committee would start up at the end of Jan 2021.  He also mentioned we would have to play things by ear, while the COVID 19 situation plays itself out.

 

         VIII. Education :  Dan Sullivan: First Aid Kits & what to have in them.  The talk was lead by Marcy Sullivan tonight.  The biggest point she made was pack what you’re able to use with the training you have.  If you don’t know how to apply a sutures or butterfly adhesive strips, you may not want to pack your kit with things like this.  Good Samaritan Law protects a first aid provider “up to” what you’ve been trained to do.  If you have had training to place a cervical collar, have one in your kit, but if not you may be at risk of causing more injuries by placing one improperly.  Marcy made it very clear to clean a wound very well before covering it with a bandage.  Maybe having bottles of water, Hydrogen Peroxide 3% in a spray bottle packed in your kit would be just easy enough to help prevent infection.  The main point she made was “if its in your kit, you should know how to use it.”  Keep in mind, there are others out with you who are trained to use things you may not.  Access who has the training and get them in charge.

             IX. Sunshine:  Ginny Simms:  sunshine@idaho4x4.com

•    Club sent a book for Rodney McPherson to read, while having testing and medical treatment (unknown details at this time).  Previously an IOR member John Turnbull is in Seattle awaiting a Bone Marrow transplant.  Ray Turner just had his 3rd surgery on his foot after breaking it last December 2019.
