THE NEW 2010-2011 BOARD IS ELECTED

The main purpose of our General Meeting on Monday, March 15th, was to elect the Board of Directors or the 2010-2011 season. The nominating committee, headed by Jim McNulty, assisted by Mike Janove, Doris Martir, Heather DiBianco and Robert Fucaloro, opted to present the sitting board. The positions of President, Vice President and Treasurer went through unopposed. However, with nominations from the floor for both Secretary and Member-At-Large, and after much discussion (sometimes heated) from the membership, who then voted by secret ballot, the position of secretary gave us a new board member: Ellen Weinstein-Pittari. Our congratulations go to Ellen, and we sincerely thank Maureen for her many years of service.

The Board of Directors members, who will begin their one-year terms at the May meeting, are:

  • Ed Healy, President

  • Thomas N. Tyler, Vice President

  • Robert Wachewski, Treasurer

  • Ellen Weinstein-Pittari, Secretary

  • John Bourne, Member at Large
