Annual Meeting - November 2011

The Annual LVGA General Meeting was held on November 3rd at the Lincroft Inn. The year’s activities were summarized, elections were held for LVGA directors and officers, and the financial report was presented. A forum discussion on the Bamm Hollow development took place, with input from former Committeeman Sean Byrnes and a Bamm Hollow representative. Mr. Byrnes provided an overview of the rulings and requirements within the COAH law, and we discussed the history of development planned for the Bamm Hollow property. It was stressed that the public has opportunities to provide input on this development, and insist on good planning by:
• ensuring procedures are followed with regard to infrastructure and safety,
• raising relevant questions, and
• injecting reasoning into the Planning Board discussion.
We concluded that an organized and educated public advances the best interests of the community. Please continue to follow this issue by staying informed and expressing your concerns.

The 2011 LVGA Community Service Award was presented to photographer and newswriter Les Pierce, with the sentiment, “In recognition and celebration of your tireless and selfless service to our community. Your gift of photography captures countless memories and enriches our community spirit.” Thank you Les for your many years of photographing sports, activities, and special events in our community.
