We support the 4x4 bill as it has been filed at the legislature.

Under new business, the club voted to subsidize the Bayou City Whitewater Club's efforts to keep the pool sessions going at the West Side Y. HCC agreed to donate up to $120 per year if there is a deficit. HASK will also donate to keep the sessions going.
