What I read in Lew's post was they voted not to waiver the 10 days required for a special board meeting. Lew is still call a board special board meeting with the 10 day advance notice. Lee Brown Apparently one or some board members voted no to the special meeting. I see that as a good thing, as Evan stated, it was an effort to follow the bylaws by so doing since the original meeting's purpose was clearly stated to re do the election.....so thank you to who ever said NO. That was on Sept 23. That foiled, so you are right Lee that Lew is calling the meeting anyway. I have asked for an answer from Lew the actual purpose of the meeting......is obviously is with intent to re do the election or to discuss the election issues. If the later, what is the point on Oct 6, 8 or 9 to do this when ballots must be in by the 11th or 12th, forget which is correct. It is 5 days later than the original message........why are there no attempts being made to: 1. ensure the ballot company counts all ballots - problem solved 2. expedite a mailing to the Canadians NOW so they can get theirs back in - again problem solved. We MUST follow the bylaws. Solve the issues with this election....it is within the bylaws. Please absorb this.......THERE IS NO PROVISION IN THE BYLAWS TO HOLD A SECOND ELECTION. There is also no need for a special meeting to be held..........the executive committee have the power to salvage the current election, so ask them why they are not??? They all ask for phone calls when you have questions....call them. The executive committee is :::: Lew Bunch 816-041-0263 Gary Szymczak 630-980-4438 Bill Pfieffer 919-781-4955 Carmen Battaglia 770-998-3679 Kris Fasano In fact, while you are calling, why not call the rest of the board members and tell them you want this club to run by the rules.
