Co-op appoints new directors
The thirty-ninth• annual meeting of
Lucknow District Co-operative Inc. was held
on January 27, at the Lucknow Community
Centre.
Leo Murray, ' president, opened the
meeting with a Oast to the Queen, followed
by 0 Canada with Bob. Rutledge playing th-
piano. Grace was . said by, Rev. Allison
Ramsay.
After a delicious roast beef dinner, served
by the Trinity United Church ladies, the
business meeting began.
Keith Sinclair, vice president and treasur-
er of United Co-operatives of Ontario was
presented with a "sheep crook" by the
Lucknow board of directors in appreciation
for his support of Lucknow Co-op's
refinancing program.
Financial reports were received and
approved by the membership. The loss for
the year 1983 was less than last year and less
than projected, but it is still a loss and
unacceptable.
Three directors were elected for a three
year term: Robert Rutledge, Gerry Gerdes,
Donald Alton. Retiring directors Wm. F.
Andrew and Leo Murray were ineligible for
re-election. They were thanked for theirhard
work and dedication over the past sic' years.
The auditors reported the Co-op's picture
is much brighter than had been previously,
and signs are pointing to a profitable year in
1984. .
After a short question period, the meeting
was adjourned, and the membership enjoyed
a dance to the Music of Glen , , Boyd's
Orchestra. - °
Door prizes donated by Lucknow Co-op's
suppliers, were won by John Black, Nancy
Gibson, Antone VanOsch, Melvin Morrison,
Cliff Menary, Steve Andrew, Eva Bolt, D. A.
Hackett, Eleanor Gibson; • Joan Barr, Evan
