Nominating committee report--- the following are running for two year terms:
Susan Miller is running unopposed for President
Jean Colson is running unopposed for Vice President
Joyce Farrington is running unopposed for treasurer.
The committee was unable to secure a commitment for someone to run for Secretary.
The suggestion was made to stagger the office vacancies in the future to avoid having a complete turnover of all officers.
Joyce then agreed to continue in the Secretary position for 1 more year to at least put that position on a staggered schedule from the others.
Vote was taken for the above offices to be filled by those named, and all present were in agreement. None opposed.
Heidy informed us someone in the park is in need of assistance to pay for needed plumbing work. A motion & second was made to assist this shareholder up to a $500.00 amount. Vote taken and it passed unanimously.
Heidy distributed a get-well card for all to sign for Sylvia Fenton.
Next meeting (last of the season) is Wednesday, April 10, 2019 at 1:00 PM
Meeting adjourned at 2:05 pm.
Respectfully submitted by Joyce Nicholson, Secretary
