No nominations??? Let's hear about who you think would make a good officer or you can nominate yourself! The club always benefits from a fresh, new, enthusiastic look on things that only new officers can bring.

 

[Green Viper]

Please, please, please, let's have some new people nominated!

 

[C-Note]

How long are the terms?

 

[Green Viper]

The terms are 2 years.

 

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

I'd nominate Steve, but he has yet to say he would take the job if elected!

Don R turned me down.....and I understand why- maybe next time.

PBR

 

[snnseatl]

Thanks for trying Paul. Some of the positions are definately going to be open for the next term, so we really need people to step up and volunteer.

 

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

Hey Clint-
How about it buddy?
The prior elected folks will give you plenty of help!

PBR

 

[SmokinViperGTS]

You guys are too kind!

I haven't volunteered just because I don't think I could be half the officer that Heather has been! My first year and half in the club, my schedule was so bad that I hardly ever got out to club events, and Heather's e-mail was my lifeline (besides Cam's shop ;-)). As it is, I still don't know half the members. I try to get to events, but it's always super difficult for me during the summer.

But if there's a hole, I'll try to step up and become more involved. I just don't want to get in the way of someone else who could do a better job than me!

So, is there a minor role for a guy with too little time?

Steve

 

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

Yo Steve-
An easy position might be the Treasurer.... Look at the job description listed above!
Lots of flexability in that position to do stuff almost anytime!
Please think about it!
Oh- and if you come to the BBQ on Saturday, we might try to twist your arm!

Cheers
PBR

 

[SmokinViperGTS]

Fair enough! Then I won't tell you about being the Treasurer for my last 3 Homeowners Associations After 6 years in my current position , it's probably time for someone else to take it over. See you Saturday!

Steve

 

[snnseatl]

Thanks for the compliment Steve, but I am not even an officer!

 

[snnseatl]
