Jack gave a budget update and confirmed expenses remain below expected spend due to the pandemic. The organization is on firm financial ground.
As per the agenda, the Board unanimously approved the 2021 budget which was originally posted in the October/November Bulletin.
Although not an agenda item, for the benefit of the membership our first meeting in 2021 will be on February 3. Our speaker will be Ms. Leanne Patrick, CEO/President Lake Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce. We do not meet in January.
After the first of the year we will post subsequent speakers/topics as plans are finalized.
Don then presented a power point presentation how the LGA worked through the pandemic year. It will soon be posted on the website.
During the Issues/Concerns segment, two issues were raised.
We had a question about the Chateau Hotel project and another question about the dues. It was explained membership is per household and not for each individual at the residence. As we write this, membership stands at (family/business). As to the former question, it was explained as of now the LGA is not taking a position either for or against this project.
Meeting adjourned at 10:18 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian Goldsworthy, VP and Acting Secretary
