The annual meeting of the Hanover Seaside Club was held on Saturday, February 11, 2012. The meeting was memorable for several reasons. First, attendance. I can’t guarantee that this was the largest turnout for an annual meeting ever – but it was certainly the largest in my memory. It was wonderful to see so many members who care about their Club attend the meeting and voice their opinions. It will also be remembered as one of the longest meetings. There was quite a lot of business to conduct and members had questions that took time to answer. Also, this is the first time I remember having more than one person run for each of the officers positions. About twice as many ballots were cast this year as last, so the teller committee worked long and hard to deliver the vote count.

The membership reelected Mike Lewis as President and Jean Lawler as Vice President. Linda Tinga was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Tom Cheatham and Chris Furr were elected to three year terms on the Board of Directors. They join Elise Beall and John Cockrum who have two years, and Duncan McFadyen and Brad Walls who have one year remaining on their terms.

Thank you to Henrietta Godwin and Deak Walden who completed three year terms on the Board of Directors. Both Henrietta and Deak have worked hard to make the Hanover Seaside Club a better place for all members. We appreciate their dedication. Thanks also to our outgoing Secretary-Treasurer, Wilson Horton, who has served tirelessly for approximately 25 years. Wilson is looking forward to enjoying the beach with his friends and family without having to work or answer questions every time he relaxes in his beach chair.

The minutes of the meeting will be posted in the Members Section of this website after they are approved by the Board of Directors.

It’s not too late to volunteer to serve on a Standing Committee. You can view the committees in the Members Section under Hanover Seaside Club Documents. If you would like to serve, notify Mike Lewis by clicking on Contact the President under the Member Section.

Mark your calendars now for the 2013 annual meeting which will be held on Saturday, February 9 at 2:00 at the Hanover Seaside Club!
