Annual Meeting & Elections In Clines Corners
The Association's Annual meeting was held in Historic Clines Corners
(see
related story in last newsletter) on July 17. The twenty members and
guests
had a great lunch, shopped for curios and listened to a tremendous
presentation and video on Clines Corners by Susie McComb.
State Representative Rhonda King was the only legislator able to
attend
the meeting. She received a historic replica of a Route 66 road sign as
a
token of the Association's gratitude for carrying successful legislation
during the last legislative session. State Representative Gail Beam,
State
Senator Gloria Howes and State Senator Phil Griego will receive their
awards
individually and a special certificate of thanks for their work on
behalf of
Historic Route 66.
The annual elections were held. The nominations committee (Tom
Willis and
Dorothy Black) nominated incumbents David Riley, Brandon Lipman and Rich
Williams for three year terms. Additionally, Barbara Silverman of Santa
Fe
and Nick Manole of Albuquerque were nominated for three year terms. No
additional nominations were made from the floor and the entire slate was
elected by unanimous consent.
Barbara Silverman has been an organizational development consultant
and
nonprofit director for many years. Not only does she have a great love
of our
rural New Mexico community life, she works for the New Mexico MainStreet
Program, providing resources in revitalization for community-based
nonprofit
organizations.
Nick Manole is a restaurateur on Historic Route 66 Albuquerque,
owning
Nick's Place on 4th Street and Fresh Choices on Central Avenue downtown.
Nick
has been a neighborhood activist, a board member on several downtown
redevelopment organizations and member of several classic and vintage
car
clubs.
The nominating committee nominated the following Directors as
officers
for 1999-2000; Rich Williams - President; Tom Willis - Vice President;
Darryl Willison - Secretary; and Susie McComb - Treasurer. There were
no
nominations from the floor and the slate was elected by unanimous
consent.
The group thanked Susie for all her contributions to move the agenda and
policy of the Association forward during her tenure.
