Keys Association Annual meeting a great success
January 30, 2006

The 37th annual Keys Association meeting held at the Four Points Sheraton was a rousing success. Over 75 Association members were present. The new president and board members were installed, and the venturakeys.org website was announced. The allowed number of boardmembers was expanded to 18, by unanimous vote of the Association members present, and four new board members were installed.

Special thanks to Immediate Past President Gail Lansbury, for arranging the venue and laying the foundation for the meeting's success, and to Vice President Stan Friedman for standing in for Gail who could not attend, and to Board member Frank McCallick for arranging a presentation by the Port District and Harbor Patrol. A general thanks to all the old and new boardmembers who have and will give so much of their time to the Association and to the membership at large for their participation.

Incoming Association President Clif Simonson presented Gail Lansbury's husband Bruce a plaque honoring Gail for her leadership over the past two years, and also recognized Maria Angell for her efforts in raising the funds for the playground structures at the big and little beaches.

During a question and answer session, numerous matters were raised including having a general meeting twice a year and the latest news on the Sonderman Ring Harbor Development. The board will discuss these and other items in its next closed session. A full text of the meeting's minutes will be posted on venturakeys.org in the next few weeks.
