Apiary Report: Vice President Roger Twitchell called on those present to provide a report of income from the Conrad Cramer Me- morial Apiary, a collection of beehives purchased by Life Members over the years. Current volunteer managers include Elmore Her- man, Bill Merritt and Lee Del Signore. Mr. Herman manages 18 hives and produced an income of $405. Mr. Merritt managing 60 hives unfortunately left his report at home and was unable to re- port income at the moment but did say the numbers remained stable and he had transferred the hive to Tommy Duggar. Mr. Del Signo- re was on his way to the meeting and so no report was forthcom- ing. David Webb and Laurence Cutts indicated they also had hives from the Apiary, but were not official managers. The Vice President of the Association is in charge of coordinating reports from apiary managers according to the bylaws.
Report from Tony Hogg on activities of a committee (Tony Hogg, Brendhan Horne and David Webb) appointed by President Plenge to look into revising the bylaws. Mr. Hogg reported that his e-mail concerning the committee’s deliberations sent to the board of man- agers met with little response. This indicates there is little appetite for change at the moment. Much discussion ensued. Frustration was apparent on the lack of closure of this issue. Motion by Ellen Hutson that the Board of Managers again ask for specific recom- mendations from the committee on changes. Seconded by Brend- han Horne. Passed.
Election of Officers: The nominating committee (Roger Twitchell, Elmore Herman and Laurence Cutts) did not present a slate of offi- cers. Rather, it provided a printed ballot with a list of nominees. This consisted of President (Gary Ranker and Tommy Duggar), Vice President (David Webb), and Treasurer (Bert Kelley and Bill Dunn). The results reported by Brendhan Horne of the counting (three representatives from different associations, including those not being represented) resulted in the following, with a total of 74 votes being cast: President: Tommy Duggar (38), Gary Ranker (35), abstain (1); Vice President: David Webb (63), abstain (11); Treasurer: Bert Kelley (52), Bill Dunn (22).
