My own quick synopsis of all the reports: - Finances are in good shape. - Properties we own are apparently in good shape but most have not been visited recently. Property tax exemption is still being sought for some. - Membership continues to steadily decline. This is THE most important concern for the new Executive. - "Nova Scotia Birds" needs a new editor, and though it wasn't stated, I believe it will have to go digital to survive. - Pat McKay won the "Puffin of the Year" Award. Well deserved, and congratulations to Pat. New Executive: President David Currie Vice-president Eric Mills Treasurer Gillian Elliott Membership Secretary Ulli Hoeger. Secretary Joan Czapalay Directors are: Terry Boswell, Chris Pepper, Kate Steele, Helene Van Doninck, and Tuma Young. The chair of the SanctuaryTrust is Bob McDonald Field Trip Coordinator is Kate Steele Head of Conservation Committee is Helene Van Doninck The coming year will either rejuvenate the Society, or the decline may beyond repair. I hope most members will commit to helping the new Executive in turning around the fortunes of the Society.
