Residents Needed to Step Up for Board Positions

2009 is an election year for the LMCA board. All board positions are open for election and two of the board members have decided to not run for another term. Kathy Curtis, the current board treasurer, will be vacating her position. Kathy said, “Since we moved to Lake Meridian in 1985, Don and I have spent many hours volunteering for this community. From fireworks shows and picnics, to marine patrol to the helping form LMCA and serving as your Treasurer since its inception. I have no clue how many hours it’s been and don’t regret any of them. It is however time for someone else to step in and take their turn.“ Sally McDonough who has served two terms on the board stated, “ The LMCA board is comprised of members "Working for a better environment and a safer community." The board members are a great group of people and this position is not difficult. I have enjoyed the years I have volunteered as advisor/representative for the West side of the lake and as secretary. “ Board positions run for a two year term. Board members meet once a month to discuss lake issues and plan upcoming events. Anyone interested must nominate themselves or have someone nominate them by sending a note of intent to the PO address shown on the back of this newsletter no later than March 30th, 2009. If more than one person wants any position ballots will be emailed to those we have addresses for and mailed to those without e-mail. Two years ago no one came forward to challenge any of the positions.
The positions of Secretary and Treasurer must be filled in order for the board to remain valid and for celebrations for the Independence Day fireworks to continue. If you have questions please contact a board member.
