2010 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REPORT
On Wednesday, May 19, 2010, 39 members and guests of the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce gathered at the Bamara Inn for HACC’s Annual General Meeting. A time to mix and mingle was followed by a delicious roast beef dinner and several presentations.
Al Bryanton of Scotiabank reviewed the 100 year history of the Bank of Nova Scotia in Hampton. Al had a number of stories and photographs that stirred some memories and were of interest to newcomers to our community.
Students from Hampton High School, along with History teacher Mark Perry, then presented photos and memories they have collected through their research into the lives, and in some cases, the deaths, of the men and women from the Hampton area who served in World War II. 
The business meeting following was chaired by Vice-President Sheryl Moore. Reports on the various Chamber events and activities were printed in a booklet and made available to everyone. Financial reports, the auditor’s report and the proposed budget for the new year were accepted as presented.
The Nominating Committee proposed a slate of Officers and Directors, and with no further nominations from the floor being heard, these individuals were declared elected. They are as follows: President – Sheryl Moore, Vice-President – Barb Curry, Secretary/Treasurer – Lowell Jones, Directors: Marc Mathurin, Barb McNamara, Pat Lockhart, Ingrid Warning, Iris Thompson, Peter Behr, Adrien Gratwick, Tanya Whittaker, and Carole Anne Forsgren.
