If anyone is interested in running for officer positions, please contact a current board member.Nominations are open for offices.The election committee is Lee and Jennifer; email them if you are interested.President, Secretary, Newsletter Editor, and a possible Sergeant in Arms (might need to take out of constitution) are known open positions.Sergeant in Arms will likely be eliminated as a position if no one is interested this year.The Sergeant in Arms maintains order at meetings and the position is not ‘paid’ with a free membership.Members at the September meeting were interested in eliminating this position.It will be eliminated from the constitution.Please try to talk Bart into accepting the President position again for next year.
