2005 Summer BOD: Graves Mountain

December 16, 2021

The annual summer board retreat with spouses was held at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria. Board members learned of the Conservation Committee’s increasing number of requests for support and endorsement from environmental advocacy groups and legislative interests. In other business, the recurring topic of excessive HGW flower expenses brought about plans to disallow flower expense deductions.

In hearing KVH Balustrade Project updates, board members learned the contractor had found deterioration of the front porch roof, as well as deterioration of mortar in the basement walls.

And finally, the board heard of some frustrating Journal glitches, especially the recent issue when internal oversights were compounded by the mail house which lost the GCV check for postage, sent the Journals back to the printer, found the check, retrieved the Journals and mailed them two weeks late. Probably more amusing now than it was at the time!
