EASTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA ANGLERS’ CLUB
Minutes of Members’ Meeting, December 8, 2025
President Austin Murphy called the meeting to order just after 7:00 PM. There were 27 people in attendance, one of whom was new to the group.
Nancy Kupar-Page gave a recap of the minutes from the November 11th meeting. Treasurer Dwayne McCullough is out of town but Austin passed along his financial report: about $1719 in the regular checking account, about $9000 in the money market account, $121 was reimbursed to Don McGavock for food at the Kiptopeke kids’ outing and we owe $189 for an insurance payment. Bill Phillips made the motion the reports be accepted as presented, David Page seconded the motion and it was so carried.
Marty Bull reminded us that the Elks has already been reserved for the first Saturday in March (the 7th) for our annual awards banquet, auction, etc. We have previously capped individual expense for the meals at $25 per adult. Please think of items that might be available for raffles and the auction and plan to help on the day of the banquet. Marty will be getting tickets printed.
We were reminded that we will be voting on officers in February. The slate needs to be made and approved by the board by January. If you are interested in becoming an officer and assisting in the operation of the club, please contact Dwayne McCullough, who is heading up the nominating committee.
Our Facebook promoter, Mildred Ritter, reported that new views are slower but we are still seeing interest. We have not posted much lately to garner a lot of activity. Mildred received a round of applause for her recent grand prize-winning red drum at the North Carolina Beach Buggy Association Red Drum tournament. First woman ever to win!
The business meeting was adjourned at 7:20 PM. Everyone was invited to help themselves at the dessert buffet, complements of the club. We then proceeded to exchange Christmas gifts, which provided plenty of laughter and deviousness!
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Kupar-Page
