General Membership Meeting
Juneau Family Reunion –Wells, Maine
Saturday, June 24, 2006
The membership meeting was held in the York Room of Village by the Sea, Wells, Maine. It was called to order by Jerald Juneau, Interim President at 9:07am after recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The first order of business was the introduction the Interim Board of Directors. Also introduced was Pierre Juneau, former President of CRTC and of CBC/Radio-Canada and his grandson, Matthieu Juneau, President of the Canadian Juneau Association. A few minutes was taken to allow everyone present to introduce themselves and to tell us where they were from.
A treasurer’s report was distributed showing the income and expenses to date. Most important was the discussion of future funding sources including:
1. Membership dues – to collect $15.00 per year per family.
2. Contributions, donations and memorials.
Pierre Juneau said it was important for Canada and the United States to work together and encouraged the Juneau Family
to move forward.
The site of the next family reunion was the cause of a huge debate. Many spoke and had excellent ideas.
1. Gerard Juneau from Maine suggested an Alaskan tour ending in Juneau, Alaska. Alaska will celebrate its
50th Anniversary of Statehood in 2009. Leo Juneau from Tennessee read the tour guide description of the Wilderness Adventure suggested by Gerard. Also commenting for Alaska was Joe Juneau from California.
Kathy Vines from Arizona said the younger Juneau family members couldn’t afford Alaska. Dick Juneau
from Louisiana suggested looking for another place if not enough would go to Alaska. Pierre Juneau from Canada
said the first meeting is very important and should attract a large number of people in the United States to please consider a place close to Canada. André Juneau also from Canada said location is 105% and as proposed by Pierre, the next reunion should be somewhere that would attract many family members. Older people would not consider going to Alaska.
2. Milwaukee was suggested by Dick Juneau from Louisiana and said the Board would work with people in Wisconsin to make it happen.
3. Other places suggested was Las Vegas by Joanne Sandell from New Hampshire, Washington, DC by Dick Juneau from Louisiana, Canada by Sara Radcliffe from Wisconsin, and Kansas by Maggie Brennan from Wisconsin.
4. Matthieu Juneau from Canada suggested we look into a historical place relevant to the Juneau Family and a place where most people could gather. He also suggested to look into Kansas where some Juneau family members
settled.
5. Maggie Brennan expressed the need to work on the next generation getting them interested in the Juneau history and genealogy. We need to keep this organization going.
Annette Snyder from New York proposed a resolution: “All meetings should be held in a historical Juneau area”. It was moved by Rene Juneau from Rhodes Island and seconded by Gerard Juneau from Maine. The resolution
passed.
Matthieu Juneau gave the Board a copy of the Canadian by-laws. It was suggested by Dick Juneau it should be stated in the by-laws that the member-ship meet in a historical Juneau site. Billie Juneau from California suggested we consult Pat Juneau, a lawyer
from Louisiana about our by-laws. Beryl Smith and Jerald Juneau will speak with him. Maggie Brennan suggested we keep the by-laws simple. Sandy Sandell from New Hampshire suggested we should incorporate to protect the members of the Board of Directors. Pierre Juneau from Canada suggested to put in the by-laws that the American members in the Canadian Association or the
Canadians in the United States Association who will be the minority should have a right to vote. Also suggested by Kathy Vines from Arizona that it should be specified that the wives of Juneau’s can be members of the Association.
A motion was put to a vote to “Authorize Beryl Smith and Jerald Juneau to talk to Pat Juneau about the by-laws and to incorporate”. It was moved by Kathy Vines, Arizona and seconded by Dick Juneau, Louisiana. The motion
passed.
The new Board of Director’s term will last three years. It will start on June 24, 2006 and end June 27, 2009. Sara Radcliffe, Wisconsin asked how many on the Board and Dick Juneau, Louisiana replied as many as possible. So far the interim Board will
stay on and any person who wants to volunteer will be accepted. Jim Juneau from Texas was nominated to be on the Board in addition to other members.
A motion to “Add volunteers to the Board of Directors with the present members” was presented by Billie Juneau from California and seconded by Joanne Sandell from New Hampshire.
Kathy Vines from Arizona asked that a list of names and addresses be available to everyone after it is compiled. Dick Juneau, Louisiana suggested that everyone register in the book provided so we will have updated information.
Leo Juneau from Tennessee volunteered to do a web site for the Juneau Family. He said it would take approximately three months and every member of the Association will be able to access the site. He will let us know the cost. Annette Snyder from New York asked if the approval of the by-laws could be on the website.
Sara Eldredge from Wisconsin thanked the Board for all the work that was done and Maggie Brennan from Wisconsin suggested
we bring family pictures to the next gathering to establish roots for all clans. Matthieu Juneau from Canada said some lines of the original 40 are extinct.
Pierre Juneau from Canada volunteered to do a draft of a pamphlet for the Juneau Family. This little leaflet could be handed out to new members to explain what the Juneau Association is all about. Sara Eldredge from Wisconsin volunteered to work with Pierre and to do the final brochure.
The meeting was adjourned with a motion from Joanne Sandell and seconded by Susan Lambert.
