Special Chapter Meeting

Minutes of 1 March 2023 Meeting

Call to order by Secy/treas. Tom Grinstad @ 13:00 (1:00pm)

Attending 17 VVA members quorum assured

Tom noted he was the only chapter officer left standing, and so must run the meeting. He stated for accuracy and for the record, he will record the meeting, if there are no objections. No objections raised.

The reason for the special meeting:

1. President Bob Aspiras is suspended by Washington State Council.
2. Vice President Ron Wilson transferred his membership to the Sedro Wooley Chapter, leaving Grinstad as sole officer.
3. Need for someone to run next regular chapter meeting, which is the elections meeting.
4. Have a volunteer for interim president position Richard Carpenter member number 1382491
5. Volunteer for interim vice president position Donna Trecker no. 1398377.

Motion to elect interim president Carpenter and vice president Trecker by David Loomis, second by Ray Radke, carried unanimously.

Ben Brown asked that the membership be apprised of the reason(s) for the suspension and departure. Tom assured all that as soon as we have official notice of the reasons they will be forwarded to the membership.

State delegates selected are Charles Muggy and Lonnie Rose. They will attend the next state council meeting in April in Toppenish.

Ray offered a draft contract for the placement of the chapter’s conex storage container on his property. Discussion followed; he will present a final version for signature at the March chapter meeting.

Meeting adjourned at 13:16 (1:16pm)
