General Membership Meeting Minutes
Braving blizzard conditions, over 30 hardy souls attended the WMC General Membership meeting held
February 15. Business included casting ballots for a slate of nominees to serve on this year’s Governing
Board and approving a change to the Mt. Club Constitution that would allow provisional club membership
status (opening the way to on-line membership applications). Both ballot issues were approved with
voting results as follows:
• Governing Board nominees received 31 “yes” votes out of 31 ballots cast
• Proposed Constitutional change received 30 “yes” votes out of 31 ballots cast
For a complete list of WMC Governing Board members, refer to inside cover of each Rambler edition.
For complete text of the Constitutional change, please refer to p. 13 of your January Rambler.
Following the business portion of the meeting, attendees were rewarded with a “Wow-inducing”
slide show of Carol Masheter’s climb of Cho Oyu in the Himalayas last fall. Part of an international
expedition, Carol’s group flew into Katmandu, Nepal, then Lhasa, Tibet, in order to approach Cho Oyu
(elevation 26,906 ft.) from the Tibetan side. After spending most of Sept. at higher than 18,000 ft., Carol
& three of her group of seven, two guides and five Sherpas, finally summated on Sept. 25, 2005. Her
adventure (and slides of the event) were, in a word, amazing! Thanks for sharing, Carol.
After the meeting, members of the board in attendance met to discuss the Lodge water problem. With
a quorum present, the discussion was formally conducted as a board meeting. The board discussed a
proposal to purchase a product called a hot water pulse de-icer specifically designed for clearing ice blockages.
After discussion, it was decided that urgent action was necessary and that this product was our best
option. Members formally proposed the purchase and Trustees unanimously approved the expenditure.
Meeting was adjourned.
