Ken Facts at the meeting as I recall- Lamar reviewed the bid from Election Trust and found it to be adequate-one bid was rejected as inadequate- the vote to retain Election Trust was unanimous- that means you voted to retain them. The FACTS I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE are those that occurred after the meeting and before the ballots were mailed- 1. was a proposed copy sent to someone on behalf of the club - 2. were corrections requested- i.e. were a marked copies sent back to Election Trust-and were those marked changes made 3. how did the return on the envelope get changed- I would have imagined that prior examples would have been provided to Election Trust- 4. Additionally I find it difficult to believe that Election Trust does not have a physical address, at least for payment. I am not trying to place blame but need to know for the integrity of future elections-Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken and Pat Downing To: f.fasano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Showgsdlist Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2005 9:17 AM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: General--Important but long, sorry for length but worth reading Kris: You have the FACTS since you were present at the Board meeting.
