Over 50 members were present at the Annual Meeting of The Lindsay Gallery on Monday, March 26, 2007 to receive Committee reports, approve the 2006 Financial Statements and to elect a new Board. The Nominating Committee recommended the following nominees, who were all elected by acclamation -- Jane Ash, Margot Fawcett, Doris George, Brenda Graham, Marg Istchenko, Mary Jeffery, Barb Kelly, Ann MacLeish, Sheila Mayville and Gord Wilson.
Six of the nominees were members of the previous Gallery Board and were standing for re-election. Brenda Graham, one the four members new to the Board, served on the Gallery Board in the 1980s.
In her remarks, the retiring President, Janet Smith, made special mention of the contributions of the retiring Board members – Dawn Amott, John Humphries, Peter Maitland, Ann Neale and Moti Tahiliani,
A GIFT AND RECEPTION IN HONOUR OF RETIRING PRESIDENT
Janet Smith was also retiring after 25 continuous years as a Board member during which time she had served as Secretary, Treasurer and President. At the conclusion of the annual meeting, Marion Larocque, a founding Gallery member, presented Janet with a commemorative painting from the members. Ric McGee, Mayor of the City of Kawartha Lakes, presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of her many years of service. Lois Smith Brennan, an early Gallery President, in her remarks, noted that her own fifteen years on the Board paled in comparison to Janet's record. The painting, by artist Wayne Moore, is now in a place of honour in Janet's home.
A reception in honour of Janet Smith followed the end of the annual meeting. Many members stayed for cake and refreshments and to personally thank Janet for her years of devoted service to the Gallery.
