Aug 17: Today we held our 2025 Annual General Meeting in Burgoyne Woods. Outgoing President, Tony Pisano, opened the meeting by paying tribute to a long time and generous member, Don McMaster, who passed away in March. The President's report followed and Tony gave a special mention of thanks and congratulations to the committee which organized this year's Niagara Ultra, having been required to take over all aspects of event planning and organization at short notice just before the race registration opened.
Reports from Treasurer Cesar Valladares and Social Director John Johnston were also given. The meeting attendees were informed of the board members for 2025-2026. Specific roles will be decided later this week.
Tony received a gift card to acknowledge his efforts and achievements as President over the past three years. He then presented the President's award for 2025 to Cesar for his tireless and detailed work as Treasurer, combined with his several other contributions to the operation of our club!
