The Lake Chapala Society (LCS) elected six new board officers and directors and addressed the full scope of the organization’s operations at the annual general meeting held on Thursday, March 13, with 110 members present.
With no nominations from the floor, Ben White and Carole Wolff were elected by acclamation to serve respectively as president and secretary for two-year terms. New directors-at-large, elected by secret ballot from among five candidates, were Ann D. Houck, Ernest Gabbard, Keith Martin and Pete Soderman.
Outgoing president Howard Feldstein presented an extensive report on activities of key LCS committees along with a outlook on the future. Incorporated in his farewell message were special thanks to fellow board members, staffers Terry Vidal and Adela Alcaraz, and the more than 250 volunteers who keep things humming at lakeside’s largest expatriate organization.
