Nominations for ABC officers

[Lee G]

Nominations for office must be submitted by August 15th

Just a reminder to have all nominations and acceptances made by the 15th to be placed on the ballot.

Are new/from another country members allowed to vote? I'm a little confused about what I'm supposed to do, if anything?... 

Clarification would be great, thanks!

Hi All,

I am new to the club this year, and as such do not have the required experience for the secretary position. I would like to volunteer my services to help with the position. I have several years experience in administrative/management/writing/coding. So whoever is secretary please contact me because I would love to be more involved!

John sends out ballots in October or November (can't remember right off hand) and you can return them to Mike Gilbert after you have voted since he is the elections officer this year.  You can vote for President, Secretary and I believe you vote for District Director closest to your area.  I believe you are just barely in the Western District.

Thank you Jean. It's good to know what to expect.

The last club I belonged too involved wearing purple and ponytails 3x a week, and there was only one rule: NO boys allowed.

I had the pleasure of meeting Carrie at the Coulee Region Poultry Club meet in Galesville, WI.  She is a very bright, inquisitive young lady that will bring much value to our club.  Thanks, Carrie, for volunteering.  Your contributions will be greatly appreciated.

After much soul searching and conversations with members of the ABC, I have decided to accept the nomination for Western District Director.

Thanks Duane! I really appreciate the compliment.

I am also a fairly new member (this is my third year) and would like to volunteer my services in any way I can help. This is my fourth year breeding wheaten/blue wheaten Ameraucanas and, in spite of a setback this year, hope to have some nice results this next spring.

I am a retired applications developer from the financial industry and currently own a website design business. I've also been involved with dog and horse breeding and showing most of my life and have been very active in various clubs. I've served as everything from Show/Match Chair to President and just about everything in between.

I missed all the nominations and elections due to some health issues (kidney stones and resulting surgery), but it's all passed now (lol) and I'm ready to help out wherever I can.

[Sharon Yorks]

Susan...It's great to have you with us and nice to know you are feeling better. It's also wonderful to have new members who like to be active in the club and are eager to help. It's a wonderful club and we're happy that you have chosen to be apart of it with us.

[Susan Mouw]

Thank you, Sharon!

I would say I hope y'all can put me to work, but I'm afraid my wish would be fulfilled.    Ohhh, what the heck...I'm retired anyway - what else have I got to do?  lol
