I think that we should do this officer thing differently. The people that win should get the right to appoint who will have to fill that office position for the next year. OH sweet payback time. ;-) tnsl <sydstyr@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: @page Section1 {size: 8.5in 11.0in; margin: 1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; } P.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } LI.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } DIV.MsoNormal { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } A:link { COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } SPAN.MsoHyperlink { COLOR: blue; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } A:visited { COLOR: purple; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } SPAN.MsoHyperlinkFollowed { COLOR: purple; TEXT-DECORATION: underline } P { FONT-SIZE: 12pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0in; FONT-FAMILY: "Times New Roman" } SPAN.EmailStyle18 { FONT-FAMILY: Arial } DIV.Section1 { page: Section1 } Nominating ended June 30th? and nominees have a month to decide if they want to run or not? Could we know which ones took a full month to make this decision? It could be an indication of how things would run if that person is or is not elected. heh heh Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Bromley To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2008 10:09 PM Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Fw: SLAGA July Email Blast for ... Bridget, We?ve asked all nominees to let us know of their intentions by July 30th. The ballot should be sent out via email by the 15th of August. Since there will be no voting at the fall picnic this year, the elections will close by September 15th. At that point, the votes will be counted, verified and the winners announced one week before the picnic. We?ll conduct the business meeting (my final duty) and introduce the new officers at that time. Steve On 07/05/2008 9:49:27 PM, Bridget E.
