Annual Meeting Jan/08/12
46 Members Present
Before the meeting was brought to order Harvey welcomed everyone and then stated that the Salmon River Church may be closing, so we will prob. Be making arrangements to have meetings elsewhere.
The minutes from the last meeting held Dec./11/11 were read by Ken Saulnier who stood in for the secretary. It was proposed by Albert Melanson and seconded by Earl Chandler that the minutes be accepted as read. Motion carried.
Financial Report: Roland read the report and at the end of Nov/11 we had $6172.61 on account. The Dec. statement was not yet in. It was proposed by Paul Saulnier and seconded by Earl Chandler that the report be accepted as read. Motion carried.
President Report: There was not a lot to report as it has been quiet because of the Holidays. One member reported to Harvey that he was at Tusket Motor Sport and they refused to give the 10% discount .Harvey said that was something to be looked into and find out if any others we had thought would give a discount to members are still doing so.
Nothing back from Byron Boudreau concerning the $900 we overspent when we held the ATV Jamboree.
An E-mail was sent to Mayor Mooney asking what had taken place at the Meeting of the Union of Municipalities. His response was it was narrowly defeated but the issue would be raised at the next meeting held in the fall as Mayor Mooney still believes that this would bring extra revenue into the town.
There are too many trails with dead ends, we really need to prepare for the fall meeting, and send in some information as to why connecting trails would also benefit the towns as well as the people using them.
Before starting the election of officers we took a break .Coffee and donuts were available to those who wanted some.

Harvey then read a section from the by-laws concerning the power the Directors have. It is written that the Directors can call a meeting at any time if 3 or more members of the Society have a concern about any issue in the club.
New Business: Ira Maillet took the floor to say a few words about Harvey as acting President, praising him for all the hard work and extra time he put into being President of the club. He stated Harvey went above and beyond on many occasions doing things for the club and never asking for anything in return. It was a job very well done…
Nancy Winchester then spoke about all the work Roland did as acting Treasurer along with doing the registration. Big job load there also. Another job well done...
Harvey then thanked Rose for time she put in as Secretary and for the time spent working on the Web Site....which she will continue to look after.
