Pine Tree Holstein Association
Annual Meeting - March 2010
The 2010 Pine Tree Holstein Association Annual Meeting was called to order by President Chris Kimball at 10:20am. He welcomed all and thanked them for coming. The Secretary’s report was accepted as printed on a motion by Pete Waterman and second by Jim Strout. The Treasurer’s report was also in printed form and showed a net worth of $44,537.72. Jim Davis commented that he felt the state show milk money seemed low and wanted all state show exhibitors to be sure to keep track of milk weights so the Association will get the money for all of the milk produced. This report was accepted on a motion by Blaine Moon and a second by Jim Strout.
Show/Breed Promotion Committee: Jim Strout gave the show report. The 2009 show had approximately 100 head and was judged by Bloyce Thompson. The 2010 show will be August 30, 2010 at Windsor Fairgrounds with Richard Landry from Quebec as the official judge. The committee also had scheduled a very successful barn meeting that was held during February vacation at Stoneyvale Farm in Exeter. He thanked the Fogler family for being gracious hosts and also our sponsors – CRI, Cargill, and Feed Commodities. Just-So Catering provided a wonderful lunch. Upon a motion from Blaine Moon and a second by Jim Davis, the report was accepted.
Sale: Chris Kimball reported for the sale committee. The committee had met back in January and discussed several options for having a state sale again in 2010. The figures did not appear to be advantageous for us to try to do one at this time. He asked for any suggestions from the group as to how to try to get a sale back up and going. The group decided to discuss it again for 2011.
Membership: Debbie Keene reported for the membership committee. We have 42 juniors and 88 active members with 162 total members. Bob Wilson, Holstein Association USA field representative asked for our unpaid list and would try to get some to renew their memberships
