Lake Champlain Chapter Antique and Classic Boat Society Annual Meeting

Sunday October 16, 2005 Noon , Aboard the Northern Lights Cruise Ship

(corrected minutes February 2006)

 

Approximately fifty people were present for the annual meeting of the LCACBS aboard the cruise ship Northern Lights at the Burlington , Vermont waterfront. Brunch preceded the meeting.

 

Steve Pond, President called the meeting to order.

 Secretary’s Report: Judy Grosvenor circulated minutes of the previous Board of Directors meeting for perusal. Myndy Woodruff moved and Barry Carris seconded a motion to approve the minutes as presented. The motion  carried.

Treasurer’s Report:  Mike Munson’s Treasurer’s report was distributed for perusal.  The current balance is $2,184.39. There was no Ship’s Store at the 2005 Boat Show.  Last year’s revenue from the Ship’s Store was $650.00. It was agreed that the 2005 Boat Show at Essex, New York was a success but did not bring in the revenue other shows have brought in due to promotional expenses.  This was the largest boat show deficit to date.  The Boat Show Chairmen, Mike O’Brien and Keith Gaylord hope to bring in more revenue by revising the sponsorship in the boat show programs. The company that has been printing the boat show programs does not charge us; rather he receives his money from advertisers that he enlists.  Jan Dean pointed out that we can not charge admission to our boat shows due to insurance limitations.

Motion: Bill Truex moved we accept the Treasurer’s Report.  Ed Bombard seconded the motion and it passed.

President’s Report: Steve Pond gave recognition to his wife Betsy for her assistance in his presidency these past two years, to Ed Bombard who attended the most boat rendezvous’, to Nancy Wood from the Burlington Business Association and to Gene Porter, a member of ACBS National Board.

Old Business:  A discussion took place regarding a permanent location for the boat show.  Jan Dean said she was not in favor of having a permanent location for the boat show as marinas change and we should keep our flexibility in choosing a site.  

Bob Melrose noted the importance of attracting other clubs to our boat show and said that Burlington is a good location to do just that.

The Westport Marina in New York is anxious to have us back again at their marina.  We will plan a summer rendezvous at Westport in the summer of 2006 to help them celebrate their marina’s 25th anniversary.
