Report on March 15, 2008 Meeting


The meeting was called to order by Vice President Buddy Albert with approximately 66 members and 
guest present.

Buddy began the meeting by opening the floor for nominations for president. Sandy Stowe brought up 
the issue of who could vote according to our existing by-laws. Main concern was who was allowed to 
vote, GPAA members only, Land Fee owners or CVGP members in good standing. Robin addressed 
that in the past 3 years historically we have had land fee members vote on those issues that dealt with 
the land use and concerns and CVGP members vote on club issues.

Nominations were made for president. The following were nominated Bob Stowe, Jack Wyatt, and

issue who can vote and it was decided that the CVGP members on the directory and had attended at 
least one meeting can vote. Ballots were handed out and count was done, Jack Wyatt had 34 votes and

fair vote. A vote was also taken of all members present to be sure that it was a fair vote, that we had 
ballots to match members present.  A motion was made to accept the count and it was 2nd.
