The present Board of Directors comprises Rueben John president, vice president David Telesford, treasurer Edmund Jackson, secretary Brenton Milligan with Directors Annis Horne, Euna Thompson and Brenan King.
Tomorrow’s meeting will hear reports from the various committees and elect officers to the several posts.
