President, Myndy Woodruff, called the meeting to order.

The minutes of both the last Board meeting in February and the April Annual Meeting were circulated by the Secretary, Judy Grosvenor. A motion carried to accept the minutes of both meetings.

Treasurer’s Report: Mike Munson presented the Treasurer’s report and it was place on file. The current balance is $4,024. He noted that the cost of the newsletter has increased considerably. “We are solvent, not rich”, he said. A motion to accept the Treasurer’s report was made, seconded and it passed.

President’s Report: Myndy Woodruff announced a Windjammer boat trip to take place in the Grenadines in November open to all members. See Myndy for details.

Myndy suggested that we have a Summer Boat Rendezvous Chairperson. Ed Bombard offered to take that position. The summer rendezvous’ from henceforth will be called the Vintage Boat Rendezvous’.

Boat Show: Mike O’Brien stated that to date 24 boats are registered for the August 19, 20 Maritime Boat Show at the Burlington Waterfront. The Waterfront has reserved 34 boats in marina slips.

All permits for the boat show have been secured.

The Boat parade will take place on Sunday rather than Saturday.

Fund raising has taken top priority at this time. Two posters will be distributed, a promotional poster and a retail poster to be sold. Mike and Mark Snelling are setting in place the posters and the programs. Queen City Press may be asked to print the posters, if funds are available, at the price of $3,500. Sharon Meyer of WCAX television will have a series of interesting vintage boats on the lake. Vermont Life will do an article next year on LCACBS. Mike, Mark Snelling and Tom Anderson are searching for sponsors for the show.
