New Board Member Introduced at Annual Meeting
We were delighted to see an overflow crowd at the annual meeting in November. Although we would like to believe the excellent attendance was due to an upsurge of interest in KHLT business, we have no doubt that the draw was primarily Joel Gay's excellent slide show Skiing the Harding Ice Field. Thank you, Joel, for a fascinating program.
As usual, part of the evening's business was the election of board members. Incumbents Marian Beck, Michelle Brown, and Toby Tyler were re-elected. Board member of the year, Toby Tyler, and volunteer of the year, Vickie Rich ,were recognized by the membership.
We are happy to introduce our new board member John Mouw who is filling the remainder of Fred Harnisch's term.
Attracted by what he calls "the wonderful spirit of Homer," John and his wife, Rika, moved from Vail, Colorado, in May of last year. Before coming to Homer, John worked as a hotel manager and in the field of real estate. John has been active in the Center for Coastal Studies and has done water quality monitoring for the Cook Inlet Keeper Program. He is also a member of The Nature Conservancy. Asked what made him volunteer for the Land Trust, John replied, "I want to contribute to the community, rather than just occupy space."
