| 2009 ANNUAL MEETING - NOTICE AND INVITATION
THE UNITED PIPE CLUBS OF AMERICA (UPCA) WILL HOLD ITS SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING AT 4:00 PM ON FRIDAY, MAY 1, IN THE RUBY ROOM AT PHEASANT RUN RESORT.
See the Agenda for the Meeting. The names of candidates for the election of officers should be sent to the Nominating Committee: Al Ford (alferd.ford@verizon.net) and Bob Schrap (rschrap@aol.com). Also, please let us know if you have questions, comments or suggestions for additional Agenda items. The Treasurer's report will be distributed before the meeting. Minutes of the 2008 meeting are available under Annual Meetings.
It is important that all UPCA Member Clubs be represented at the Meeting by one or more of their members. The quorum to conduct business requires the presence of at least 10 Member Clubs. All other interested persons and organizations, including in particular those forming new clubs, are invited to attend to learn more about UPCA and its activities. This is an opportunity to meet pipe smokers from many different clubs, to exchange information and to pick up ideas for your own group.
The Annual Meeting permits you to participate directly in a review of UPCA's purposes and activities - and to chart its future course. NOTE that important proposals concerning UPCA's structure and on-going operations will be presented at this meeting. Please come with your suggestions regarding UPCA's role and how it might provide greater benefits to its Members and to the broader American pipe smoking community.
I look forward to seeing you at the Meeting.
Vernon E. Vig, President
