Director, Steve Turkal will MC the event, there will be parent volunteers to act as judges and winners will receive ribbons from Tom Shearer’s daughters Kirsten Lowell and Melanie Hoeksema. SWEET ALERT: Olympic audiences, participants and oth- ers can satisfy their sweet tooth… The Squirrels will host a Ready, Set, Go! These youngsters were eager to get running in the 2010 Ernie Gray Olympics - see any bake sale at the event. familiar faces? Photo by John Agria BIG APPLAUSE for Rockers and Shoppers We are so grateful to the folks that attended the Rock at the Rec and the shoppers at Treasures in the Trees’ Rec Bedifit Booth. We are at the top rungs of our goal ladder to purchase a ga ga pit for Recreation. The pit will be an exciting new edition to Boys And Girls Club and will provide a fun, action-based game of dodgeball for campers. If you haven’t stepped up … there are still beds to purchase… help us reach our goal… and go GA GA for Rec.

Historical Walk Creates Bay View Buzz Boys and Girls Club campers took a walk in history recently thanks to Regina Russell and Sharon Anderson. These two history buffs provided historical walks for campers and answered questions about the Chatauqua Community we call Bay View… So if you see a camper this week, ask them what they may have learned or something they discovered about our community. Recreation Gets a Refresh … The Rec clubhouse celebrated a new wing with a ribbon cutting this week at the Monday’s hot dog roast. The new wing consists of the Shirt Shoppe (pictured on the right) and much needed offices for the Rec staff. Board of Trustees President Larry Turnin was on hand for the event along with campers, leaders, and Director Polly Alexander. The night was full of fun for all! (See photos on the left)

If you have not seen the new Shirt Shoppe in the Boys and Girls Club - come on in! We have a fabulous new space, and some really nice BV clothing items that are new this year.

Notice of Annual Meeting Pursuant to Paragraph twenty-nine (29-C) of the By-Laws of the Bay View Association of the United Methodist Church, notice is hereby given that the 138th Annual Meeting will be held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 3, 2013, in the John M. Hall Auditorium at Bay View, Michigan. Matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting include the following: 1. Six candidates have been certified to seek election to three, three-year terms on the Board of Trustees class of 2016. Subject to church membership requirements specified in paragraph 2 of the By-Laws, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall fill the vacant three-year terms. Candidates are: James C. Schroeder, Peggy Child Smith, Glenn R. Stevens (incumbent), Barbara A. Stonewater, Robert Wyatt, and Rob Zetterberg (incumbent). 2. The election of a Leaseholding Member to the Board of Assessors for a three-year term. 3. There is one proposed Amendment to the Articles of Association to be brought before the Annual Meeting. (a.) A proposal to amend Article IV This amendment to the Articles of Association is necessary to clarify a language conflict between the article and the Association By-Laws, making it clear that any person appointed to the Board of Trustees may fill out the terms and then run for three additional terms. Service during the appointed period does not reduce the allowed three-term limit. 4. There are three proposed By-Law Amendments to be brought before the Annual Meeting to amend: (a.) By-Law 5 and 77-A: Currently these By-Laws require that petitions for Trustee Candidates and/or amendments to the By-Laws must be filed thirty (30) days before the annual meeting. The changes requested in By-Law 5 and 77-A would change the filing time to thirty-six (36) days before the annual meeting. The amended time frame allows more time for administrative actions to fulfill absentee voting requests and other necessary matters. (b.) By-Laws 6, 7, 8 and 70: These By-Laws all concern elections and will provide an easier and faster process for voting and absentee voting. Approval would provide an electronic voting process so that members could vote from any place in the country with access to email. The system would have to be demonstrated as reliable, secure and secret by the Board of Trustees before implementation. The ability to vote by phone would also be included so that any member without computer access could still vote. In addition, the candidate’s announcement may be sent by electronic mail, and the time has been increased to “twenty (20) days” before the annual meeting; increased from two (2) weeks. Absentee Ballot application forms will be available after May 1, a change from being sent out with notice of election. The time change will assist meeting the necessary administrative and postal requirements so that all ballots are counted. (c.) This amendment to the By-laws of the Association changes provisions relating to the requirements for membership. The language “Christian Persuasion” is removed and in its place “affirmation of the Association’s Christian Values, Traditions and Chautauqua Roots. Commit to active support of Bay View’s Heritage and values and programs.” The requirement for a reference from a pastor or church leader is deleted.
