Nice job Mr. Prez! Bet it took longer to write the minutes than conduct the meeting...exactly the way it should be!
DOWN WITH GRAVITY! UP WITH LEVITY!

Frank v B

A few observations:
- Thanks to the exec for allowing us to punish them for another year.
- the AGM business meeting took less than 5 minutes.  Jack H. would have been proud.  He is sitting up there laughing with us. :D
- the three of us who received recognition awards thank the executive (for initiating it) and the membership (for allowing it) but we would all just say we were doing our job.
- the AGM proved we continue to vote with laughter.

Count down to spring has started.
