The 108th Annual Business Meeting 
(by WKG & JMR) 
The 108th Annual Business Meeting was held on January 13, 
1987; the "normal" 55 members were present. A full account of 
this meeting will appear in a future issue of The Canadian 
Field-Naturalist. 
The following slate of Officers and Members of the Council 
for 1987 was accepted by the Club members present: 
President 
Vice-Presidents

The names of the six new officers and councillors are under¬ 
lined. Ken Strang is actually returning to the Council, having 
served from 1977 to mid-1983. While welcoming these newcomers, 
we regret the departure of Eleanor Bottomley, who served so 
conscientiously as Recording Secretary, Barbara Martin, who was 
Corresponding Secretary after a year as Recording Secretary, 
Diana Thompson, whose presence was felt strongly on the Educa¬ 
tion and Publicity Committee, Bob Milko, who had to resign early 
in the year, and Don Fillman, chairman of the Macoun Club Com¬ 
mittee. It is fortunate that several of these persons will 
continue active in committee work. 
Among new business items, the President pointed out that 
the Club's Constitution and By-Laws have been reprinted in The 
Canadian Field-Naturalist, picking up the 15 changes and 
additions introduced since the last printing in 1976. The 
President thanked Theresa Fuller for her assistance in typing 
Club correspondence and documents, n
