I don't want anyone to think I am stalling or putting off answering questions, but I don't want to reveal the specifics of my candidacy until after the deadline for its submission to the magazine has passed. 

I chose to run for president because, like you, I see a need for improved  communication and organization within our club. I made this decision not in haste, but after much consideration, deciding to put my money where my mouth was.

I will use this forum along with the magazine to address the issues that are brought up. Most issues that are discussed at the leadership level can and should be communicated to the membership. However it is likely there will be some things (ie: personnel issues) that could have legal ramifications and must be dealt with confidentially. 

I look forward to discussing matters with you in the future, John.
