President’s Message
Dear Fellow Badgers
Happy summer! The picnic is all set for this Saturday.
The park has a playground, nature trail, and hiking trails.
You may want to bring a chair since I am not sure how
many picnic tables are at our shelter. I am moving to a
new house this week and will not be able to attend. I
hope everyone has a great time and I hope to hit some
field trips once the moving madness calms down a bit.

Geological Society was called to order at 10:20am on
May 13, 2017 in Monroe First National Bank by Brian
Green.
Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the previous meeting were unanimously
approved as distributed.
Open Issues (Old Business)
Show & demonstrating members vs. club sales
members
The topic of fees charged to members who
participate on any extension of the club sales table
(10% member charge or Dealer fee or no fee as
demonstrator) was brought into question at the
April meeting and was discussed in length. In
summary, it was determined that members that
demonstrate are provided one table and are not
charged a fee. It was also determined that
members participating in the club sales will donate
10% of sales to the club.
Trailer – Need to discuss maintenance
Estimates needed – who will procure those?
Deb/Don suggested if they are willing
and able
Leak in Roof – Would it be resolved by repairing
roof?
Discussion – Mobile home roof coating
will work to seal
Should we tarp it to protect it from the
weather? Club will consider it
Needs spare tire – Club to purchase spare tire
and rim.
Motion and second to purchase spare
tire and rim.
Discussion – couple of places to
purchase?
Friendly amendment. Separate motion
on tire and rim
All in favor for tire – unanimous.
Teri motions to investigate procurement
of rim, whether to purchase or locate a
used rim, including the size of it, tire
size, and number of lugs. Members
voted – all were in favor
Lights –
Short in wiring. Blows fuses. Wiring is
within trailer. Road ready requires all
lights to be working including clearance
lights. Brake lights and turn lights work.
Running lights do not.
Jordan Marche made Move to
investigate effort to repair wiring?
Brian will take that due-out
Floor bows – This needs to be investigated to
assure there is not a bracket giving loose.
New Business
New business related to trailer –
Investing to repair trailer –
Still viable to have and needs to be
maintained -All agree
We need to research storing the trailer and
moving closer to Janesville. Possibly renting a
storage facility. Wherever stored, we need to
assure trailer can be hauled
All members should bring ideas to
Secretary for collecting options, and at
September meeting we will look to
make a decision on the storing of the
trailer.
If renting a space for trailer (or
contents), should retain trailer to assure
there is a method to move groups show
material
Additional option is to have the trailer
stored at a farm within a machine shed
for a nominal yearly fee. As a 501C, the
profit for storage could be itemized for
whomever would store. This will be
vetted.
Who will be bringing trailer from Dodgeville?
It will be brought to the picnic so all
members can weigh and assess the
trailers maintenance needs
Loaded weight of a trailer may require a plate
on the trailer.
We need to research. Tamara will
research this.
Club Picnic
Need location – Cadas Springs suggested, which
is west of Monroe. This park has a pavilion.
Another location is Traxler Park in Janesville.
Motion made to use Cadas Springs and if
pavilion can be reserved. We have never
established a club budget for renting pavilions.
Second Saturday suggested as picnic date.
Meet between 10-11 and eat lunch at noon
Jordan will field reserving the pavilion at Cadas
Springs.
We may need to bring grills.
Meat will be provided by club and members
are requested to bring chairs, dish to share,
beverages dishes, and utensils.
Bring trailer to picnic
Multi-club picnic still in the
works. Jack is working on this and it would
not be until August or September.
Show
We will vote for 2018 show in Janesville in
September. Rental fee for Janesville is 1500 for
entire weekend and setup time on Friday.
Survey to show vendors will be sent before
September to solicit satisfaction of location and
show for any improvements that can be made
and potential loss of a vendor if Janesville
location changes.
Vendor space fees will increase for 2018 due to
the increase in the rental of the Craig Center.

New Digital Portal to Incorporate Specimens from UW-Madison Geology
Museum [contributed by Jordan Marché] A new digital portal is being developed that will unite a
variety of natural history collections housed in various
academic departments and museums across the University
of Wisconsin campus. When completed, the information
contained will be publicly available to constituents
throughout the state and beyond for research, teaching,
and outreach.
Termed the Wisconsin Integrated Biodiversity, Human,
and Environmental Specimen Portal, this initiative will
serve as a gateway to more than 11 million specimens
from the departments of anthropology, botany,
entomology, geoscience, and zoology. Such specimen
collections are an important part of ‘big data’ repositories
of immense value to the scientific community across
Wisconsin and elsewhere.
This project will fund a small team to assist campus
museums with establishing or improving their database
infrastructures, and to design an aggregator tool that will
be used to connect them all in an integrated fashion,
allowing access to multiple collections and enabling
discovery of shared patterns among previously unrelated
organisms or objects. It should catalyze new research on
global change related to plants, animals, insects,
paleontological specimens, rocks and minerals, and
human activities/artifacts. UW professor of botany Dr.
Kenneth Cameron has been named principal investigator,
while UW Geology Museum director Richard Slaughter has
been named among the list of six co-principal
investigators. This highly-competitive project is part of the
UW2020 research initiative designed to stimulate and
support groundbreaking research at UW-Madison over the
next five years. It has been underwritten in the first year
by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF).
