Hey Bob,
 Technically it was not the duty of the presiding officer to discuss membership issues. It is the duty of the Membership chairman. I can't tell you if that was done, I was preoccupied with my duties, and most of the issues would have been discussed the night before at the board meeting. So, it is possible that I could have missed it. That day didn't start real good for me anyhow, but it finished out real good, I located a combine I was wanting. I missed some of the parade because of trying to find a copy shop, on Saturday, in rural SD, that was open. So that I would have copies for the members. Which resulted in me and Harley Dawg having to walk from the absolute furthest corner of the parking lot, carrying 700 pages. The further you carry paper the heavier it gets, did you know that? The good thing was Harley Dawg got to ride with Duane Brandt, so he was a happy camper! Things got slightly hectic for me. So, if I messed something because I was attending to my duties please excuse me!!! I am usually better at trying to stay on top of these things. I have another matter to discuss with President Allen, in the near future. Hopefully he will have time to attend the Oliver Gang Plowday. If so, I will discuss this matter of ballot accounting with him. I think the number printed, the number sent out, and the total of remaining, whether voided or blank could be included in the report. The number of those sent out, plus voided and blank should total the printed number, or close enough to have no effect on the outcome of election.
It was good to discuss these matters with you, feel free to ask if you have more questions!!!
Have a great day!!!
Andy
