Presidents Report

President Trainer asked those present if they had received the newsletter and postcards that were mailed during the previous month.  Everyone had received them.  It was noted that approx. 70 update forms had been turned over to Recording Secretary Gay.  It is unknown at this time how many new members have joined the Association.

President Trainer announced that this meeting was the annual meeting to select a nominating committee however Recording Secretary Gay asked if he could interrupt and President Trainer yielded the floor to Secretary Gay.  Recording Secretary Gay stated that with the pandemic and low turnout of members at this time, it was not in the best interest of the Association to form this committee and hold elections.  Recording Secretary Gay made a motion to postpone the committee assignment and upcoming election until we can have an in person meeting with greater participation, but review the motion every 3 months at minimum.  Motion was seconded by Mary Holub.  After a short discussion the motion passed.
