There was a motion made and seconded to accept the minutes as emailed.
2. Treasurer’s Report
Lennie has done the reports as comparatives and the BOD has found it very helpful to
be in this format.
Two vet fees from the Seminar were mailed this morning.
The bill for the NEAOBA News spring edition is still outstanding. The checks that

Checks should be on the way to Lennie from NEAF and $75 of them is for a
membership renewal.

According to Lennie, the speakers’ fees were mailed today.

The deadline has been extended to the 15th of April. The fleece show entries

the fairgrounds.
Green Mountain Update
Ursula Munro is the one day judge and Cheryl Gehly will be there for two days.
There was a short discussion about choosing a show superintendent. A budget needs
