Congratulations to the New EB Board!

[sgelatt]

First off, I would like to thank everyone that has sat on the EB board! You have done a fantastic job. Loretta and Lee, we appreciate all that you have done for our club for the past 2 1/2 years or so. You have gone over and above what was expected of you and we all appreciate it.

( I hope I have this right since I went out to put more quarters in the meter when it was announced!)

Congratulations and thanks to everyone for stepping up to help out with the club.

A special thanks to Ralph for doing a great job putting together the Juried Show last night.

My general opinion is that anyone who wants to take on a volunteer leadership role, more power to them and let them have the job. In the present case, however, I think we are in a strong position with some very dedicated and quality people.

Thanks for serving!!!!

Congrats to all of the winners, and a huge thanks to the outgoing officers.

I think that Loretta still holds the Events position. It was close but she still has it.

[jefg99]

Ric, that is correct, and what I reported. I gave Susan the final ballot tallies.

oh sorry, I thought Rhonda was got it. Loretta wanted to step down and Rhonda agreed that she would step up. Sorry that I didn't make that clear to the members last night before the vote. I really don't know why it would be a problem for Rhonda to take Loretta's place if that is what she wants.
I was too busy lobbying for ED and the Stephanie!

So wait... you mean to tell me that nobody launched a last-minute write-in campaign for my position?

I figured the obnoxious ArtsQuest dude out in the parking lot would at least try...   

[jefg99]

Brian, now it all makes sense. When I tallied the ballots last night, I couldn't understand why someone cast a write-in vote for "the obnoxious ArtsQuest dude out in the parking lot". Did you call that one in?

[Brian Keifer]

So much for that whole "secret ballot" thing... =)

Thanks to all for helping to build the club with me .  We have grown from about six of us who put in $10 each (at the Bethlehem Library) to get this thing started!!!  I'll still be around for the club (to help when needed), but not in a leadership role at this time.  Too much on my personal plate.

I think he wanted the job, that's why he chased Brian away....Actually, he was working for Steve Jobs who only came in a close 2nd to you Brian.
