Ron Pierini — Second Vice President
From the 2nd Vice President
I think it's safe to say that everyone appreciated Douglas County Sheriff Sgt. Berna-
dette Smith for being our April 15th speaker. Learning about the "Good Neighbor
Program" and how much of an impact they make in disadvantaged Senior Citizen's
lives, personally warms my heart. Over the past five years, Bernadette and 45 vol-
unteers have made a huge difference in assisting over 193 clients. Again, I thank
Sgt. Smith and their volunteers for what they are doing.
Ron Pierini Our May speaker will be member Greg Brown. Greg has done extensive research
into the importance of the Stagecoach in the Carson Valley, in particular how it re-
lated to Genoa. The Pioneer Stage route followed the old trail between Placerville, California, over the Sierra
past South Lake Tahoe, to Genoa, Nevada.
He will be speaking about the history of the significant role Genoa played as a major stagecoach stop as the
West was settled. He will also be showing a video he has put together.
Greg is forming a committee who plans on obtaining a Stagecoach for Genoa. This will be located in Mormon
Station State Park and will serve as an exhibit and point of interest for Nevada’s Oldest Settlement.

ELECTIONS
As a member of the current Nominating Committee, I was tasked with presiding
over the presentation of the Nominating Committee Report at the April member-
ship meeting. The report reflected the following nominees:
Ray Hoyt
For President Kate Brown
For 1st Vice President Bev Anderson
For 2nd Vice President Ron Pierini
For Secretary Virginia Irlikis

There were no additional nominees from the floor for any of these offices. It was moved and seconded to
elect the above nominees by acclamation. Motion passed unanimously. In addition to these newly elected
officers, the remainder of our Board of Directors for the next association year will consist of:
Immediate Past President Pat Smith (automatic)

The terms of office for these new officers and directors will run from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. As
