Hey Ed,

I'm sorry if you didn't realize that the nominations would be closed after the summer show. The reason that it's done is to take advantage of having a gathering of the membership and to take nominations from the floor. Also to have time to get the profiles of candidates into the Nov/Dec issue.

The position of Activities Chairman is open and needs to be filled. This committee is in charge of lining up host chapters and show grounds/facilities for our summer shows and winter get togethers. I would like to see us expand the geographic area where we have held these events. We do have members outside the midwest.

If you yourself or if you know of someone that would be interested in the committee, please let me know and we can discuss it further.

Thanks, John Hume
