Jim B. called the meeting to order at 4:15
As this is the meeting where new officers are elected, he urged everyone to step up and offer to participate in sharing the burdens of running the club. And to also volunteer to be Wagon Masters.
He asked Neal and LeAnne S. who were visiting, to introduce themselves.

The New 2018 Board was nominated and approved,
President: Flora L.
Vice President: Linda N.
Treasurer: Carol M.
Vice Treasurer: Vacant
Third Treasurer: George S.
Secretary: Martine G.
Web Site: Ben M.
A discussion ensued about whether the Vice Treasurer position should be understood to lead into the Treasurer position.
Jim B then left to pick up the Turkey and Ham, asking Ben M to preside over the meeting.
Ben led a discussion about making some changes in how Board Members and Wagon Masters are selected and what their duties should be. He will check our bylaws regarding this issue. It was noted that other groups manage things differently. Some groups have members take strict turns at being Wagon Masters. And in some groups the Wagon Master does everything related to a campout including: choosing the location, making the reservations and collecting members checks. The room warmed to the idea of assigning Wagon Masters in order of service.
Meeting concluded at 5:10 pm
After the meeting Una confirmed the Wagon Masters for 5 upcoming trips.
