MEETING SUMMARY: The 50th Bread Loaf Section of the Green Mountain Club (GMC) was held on the evening of Sunday February 2 at the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society (2 Duane Ct) in Middlebury. The GMC is the founder and maintainer of the Long Trail, the oldest long distance hiking trail in America.
The meeting was attended by over 100 members and guests. Section President Beth Eliason opened the meeting with a review of section reports, approval of 2024 Annual Meeting minutes and commentary followed by a vote to approve on minor revisions to the Bread Loaf Section by-laws. We then enjoyed updates from two special GMC guests: Mike DeBonis, Executive Director of the GMC and Nancy McClellan, GMC Board President. The business portion of the meeting concluded with the presentation of and election of the slate of nominees for all positions on Bread Loaf's 2025 Executive Committee.
Special guest speaker: Will Amidon Geologist & professor of Earth and Climate Science at Middlebury College presented “Making the Green Mountain State.” His engrossing presentation included the geologic basis for Vermont's creation, and geologic snap shots of local Addison county features and landscapes including ancient river deltas that underlie Bristol, as well as his hypothesis that Otter Creek once ran where the Lemon Fair river now flows until it was interrupted by a change in the height of land near where the Lemon Fair originates.
