Annual Meeting and Election Process
Elections 5:30 - 7pm
General meeting 7pm
COVID-19 Membership Meetings: The September 14th 7pm meeting brings additional challenges due to it also being our annual meeting and vote. This is also the last meeting we can hold outdoors due to the changing daylight conditions as we enter the fall. The state has also lowered the gathering limits to 50 outdoor and 25 indoor with substantial fines for violations.
This year, we have been getting 20 to 25 new members per month which when combined with the required current members for a quorum violate these indoor gathering limits. This requires the board to consider several options going forward, some of which may require your vote on Monday night, September 14. We will once again have chairs out in the parking lot and once those chairs are filled that will be our limit.
Election Procedure: [9/14 voting times 5:30– 7:00pm] none of the positions are contested this year. Dave DeCastro, Bill Earl, and Franco Scarpino are all seeking reelection to the Board with Joe Staier as Treasurer. No one is running for Secretary. Colleen Riley has volunteered for appointment to the secretary’s position for the coming year so this will be up for ratification at the meeting. Our by-laws require a written vote even when there are no contested seats, so to carry this out we will ask that you enter the clubhouse via the left door, check-in, vote, and leave. If seats are available outside, you may stay for the membership meeting to help with the required votes for the next several months.
Due to the extra load that voting places on the membership team they will not be taking any dues questions Monday night. Masks are recommended.
