It was a great day for our first ice event of the year. About 30 drivers came out for some time on the ice.

Board of Directors Election and Annual Meeting – Dec. 3

On December 3rd, 2009 our open annual meeting was held at Carousel Audi, where we conducted a yearly review and took nominations for three seats opening up on the Board of Directors. Four nominations were given to the Nominating Committee for consideration. We thank the members who attended or called in to the meeting. Meeting Minutes are available to ACNA members only. If you would like to see the minutes, please contact any one of the board members.

Board of Directors and Election Update

In December we held our annual meeting to update the membership on our current status and to accept nominations for the Board of Directors, of which three seats were open. We received four nominations with only three of them accepting the nomination. Since there were three seats to fill and only three candidates, we felt it unnecessary to hold an election, and thus the three candidates were appointed to the standard three-year terms on the Board of Directors.

We are happy to announce your new Glacier Lakes Chapter Board Members are:
