Strength in numbers

April 2, 2009 by admin · 1 Comment 

It was standing room only in the ballroom a few hours ago as Potomac Boat Club’s 143rd Annual Meeting got underway.  The teams were especially well represented, and the senior members amongst us were ready to talk Board seats.  In the end, there were three nominations for three available seats, which certainly made it all nice and simple.  Bob Price was reelected to the Board, and will serve another term as club president.  Ed Ryan was also reelected, and will take over as secretary.  Jean Hopkins is the new Board member-elect.

As for the rest of the evening, most attendees actually stayed after the Board member seats were decided to listen to the committee reports - a testament to the efforts of Susan Trice and Camilla Durfee of the Social Committee.  Those of us who came straight from work without dinner (or lunch for that matter) would like to say a special thanks to them for organizing another lovely event with lots of food and drink.  Thanks, Susan and Camilla!

We will post a more thorough run-down of the meeting later this week, but in the meantime, congratulations to Bob, Ed and Jean!  And great job to everyone who braved rain, traffic and a lack of sleep to be involved in the process.  We’re a stronger club for it today.

Please feel free to post your comments below on how you thought the meeting went!
