I have been asked by a couple of members to run for the Chief Measurer position. I am certainly honored by the requests but will respectfully decline. I'm enjoying my role as C250 Technical Editor and that fits my interests and schedule very well at this time.

Guys, Sorry but I will not be able to run nor accept the position of Secretary for this election.
I am slated to be the Secretary for our Rotary Distict 2011-2012 and have already started on that mission.

It has been a pleasure serving our association for the past couple of years, I'm not going anywhere.

Russ:

Wasnt there another party from WYC that was interested in the Capri Measurer position? With the Nationals being held there next year, I think that would be a perfect fit!

Jim,

Yes we may have a volunteer for Capri-25 Measurer.
I'm working on the details.
I'll send you an e-mail with what I know so far.
