2011 NEBA Annual Meeting Oct.9th

Meeting called to order at 3:40pm, following our weigh-in at the Ct River Tournament, by our president Bob Lizzotte.

We all were asked if we wanted to talk about anything and if we had any concerns.

One thing came up; Mike Rezendes wanted to know how the opinion poll came out? Ray Chagnon, our Tournament Director had taken a written opinion poll from each team asking if they preferred Ticonderoga, Champlain or Platsburg, Champlain. The results was Platsburg, however Executive Board had decided not to go out of Platsburg for safety reasons. We feel we are comprised of many smaller boats that could not handle those rough waters. This would limit a good majority of our teams to what waters they could fish. Ray explained this and there was much discussion and opinions. End result being we will be going out of Ticonderoga in 2012.

Bob asked for people to please step up and help because it would be his and Ed’s last year transporting the equipment to and from each tournament. Chuck Caye and Bill Pease volunteered to help out. We thank them for that!!

No other issues were brought up.

We asked if anyone was interested in running for office. No one was.

The existing officers were voted in by the Secretary casting one vote for:
Bob Lizzotte-President
Ed Mastriano-Vice president
Sylvia Morris-Secretary
Ray Chagnon-Tournament Director
Jerry Allen-Treasurer

Respectfully Yours
Sylvia Morris-Secretary
