Annual Meeting & Election Report
By Frank Ward, Immediate Past President

The results are in. Your new CBC President is Roy ‘Bullet’ Laughton. Gerald Searl will be serving a second year as First Vice President and Wagonmaster and Roger Ferrell will be returning to the Executive Board as Second Vice President. Della Ward, Secretary and Pat Sorensen, Treasurer will both be returning for a third and final year (term limitations). Duke Blakley, National Director, and Terry Scherer, Alternate National Director, will both be returning for a second year in those positions. Our new nominating committee is Leonard and Judy Singhose, Bill and Penny Kinder, and Tom and Kathy Storrs. Congratulations all.

Members were updated on changes in FMCA which affect chapter operation, the solid status of our treasury, the 2008 Rally schedule (see page 1), and the status of projects in progress, but yet unfinished, including the following:

The name tag survey results were also announced.

Option #1 “Keep the Original Name Tag Design” had 16 favorable responses.

Option #2 “Keep the Original Name Tag Design but update it (i.e, Add Color, Better Rings, Smaller Size)” received the majority of favorable responses at 43.

Option #3 “Do a complete redesign but keep our original logo (i.e., smaller, one piece, color, etc.)” had 22 respondents. It was reported that we currently have enough “rounds” for one to two years, depending on how successful our recruiting efforts are. This gives us time to consider the redesign, vendor/suppliers, and costs and bring final proposal(s) to the membership for a vote.
