CORNWALL – The future of the River Kings looks even brighter today as the team now officially has a Booster Club.

The first Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday morning at the Civic Complex in Salon A, where a 15-member executive committee was appointed.

Mike Crowder, who spearheaded the project, was elected President. Crowder previously acted as President for the Cornwall Colts Booster Club, when Al Wagar owned the team.

Ian Wilson was selected as Vice President, while Ashley March was chosen as both Secretary and Director of Communications.

Annie Laperle (Treasurer), Isabel Chamois and Hubert Merpaw (Directors of Volunteers), Jeff Derouchie (Director of Public Events), Scott Beck (Director of Marketing), Marc Mainville (Director of Trade and Exchange), Nancy MacDonald (Director of Kids Club), Rick Bowen (Director of Purchasing) and Dustin Garlow (Director of Human Resources) were also elected during the two-hour meeting.

Owner Brock Frost, general manager Rick Lalonde and player Chris Cloutier round out the 15-member committee.

The board won’t waste any time in preparing for the upcoming season; the first official meeting is scheduled for next Saturday.
