**** No one accepted nomination for President or Sec/Treasurer. Doug Archibald is carrying on
as president for the time being and Dave Lewis is looking after basic budget and secretarial
items as needed. It is hoped someone will come forward to share in the responsibilities of
maintaining a Marathon Canoe Association in Nova Scotia. The task is not onerous and now
that the Nationals are over it will be smooth sailing for a number of years.
