Your Board met on Sept. 6th.
And had a full agenda as usual.
It has been a busy month and the Park
is looking good with many of the maintenance jobs having been tackled
or near completion. Several Members have been out helping with the
various tasks that have to be done on a regular basis. Others also
have said they will be out to help with jobs on the list, thanks.
At the last Board meeting, in August,
it was mentioned the Board had a discussion re making the time in
office for future Boards be 2 years minimum rather than 1. The reason
for this being that Board members are just getting into the job when
new elections are called and a potentially a new group has to learn
the ropes all over again. We will bring this up at the General
Meeting in October as a motion.
We also had a discussion about the fast
increase in membership. It is likely we will have 100 Members by the
end of the year. Our Mission Statement offers Park Membership to all
qualifying residents of Elliot Lake, so we would not suggest we cut
off new Member applications, but would suggest we institute a wait
list for new Members at a maximum of 85. Reason for this is mainly
logistics when it comes to our 3 main functions. Not only do we have
problems seating those attending, but also the food supply and time
to ensure every one attending gets to the food is increasingly
complex. We had 97 Members and guests attend the August function. We
will discuss this at the General Meeting.
Future applicants for Membership must
personally deliver their application to a Board Member. This is to
ensure all relevant and correct information is acquired at the time
and does not result in any misunderstanding in the future. The Board
is also recommending that if an applicant for Membership is also
requesting a permanent lot, they must be in possession of a trailer
or camping equipment at the time they apply for the lot. This will
be discussed at the General Meeting also.
