January 6, 1999 Newsletter
Moving Forward in the New Year...Elections of officers and directors for the new term have been completed. Our new officers are as follows:
Joining our current directors, Jim Mills and Roc Campise are:
Rusty will serve the remainder of Morris' term as directory for 1 year. Congratulations to these folks for their commitment to serve the boating community. Your Input Please...Planning is underway for the New Year. Our mission remains the same, to promote boating safety through education and protect the rights of the recreational boater. We did not have a general membership meeting in December. We have scheduled meetings for the following dates at 10:00 AM at the Anchor House: January 16, February 20 and March 20. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. We want your ideas and assistance in making 1999 an even better year for boating than 1998. The SMLBA has been a key influence in making the lake safer over the last two years. It is important that we keep this trend headed in the right direction.Speaking of Education...Jerry Waters has been following up with the committee studying mandatory education. Lacey Putney and Steve Newman still want to do something to satisfy the critics but still have no plan and are not inclined at this time to promote a complete education system. The others don't see the need at all. The Smith Mountain Lake Association is the only continuing impetus for mandatory education in the state. If you haven't provided your input, please do so at this time. Until they come up with an effective education program, we see no value in supporting mandatory education as a concept.Thanks for your support...Your new leadership team thanks you for your support in the past year and looks forward to serving you in 1999. You can count on your boating association remaining dedicated to boating safety, safety education and being aggressive on all issues in the community relating to boating rights. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season.Morris Johnson, Jr., President |
