[Dprglist] MEMBERS PLEASE VOTE ONLINE so there is no question we will have a quorum at Saturday meeting

[Ron Grant]

Thanks to all the members who have voted so far. 

We need a few more. So even if you are planning to attend tomorrows meeting, please vote so we don't have to sweat at the meeting not having enough votes. Also, specify t-shirt size. See Doug's email below with the email address

election at dprg.org  

If it makes it easier and you want to vote for the panel, just say so with t-shirt size and pocket preference.

If you are not able to make Feb/March/Apr meetings and want the shirt sent to you include your address.



You will get a confirmation email from me after you vote.



Thanks,
Ron Grant

Subject: [Dprglist] Reminder: DPRG Elections End this Saturday - IMPORTANT READ TO END



Once again it is time to hold elections for DPRG club officers. The election will occur at the DPRG monthly meeting on January 13th, 2018. It is very important that members vote.  The by-laws require that a specific percentage of members vote to make the election official. 
 
The present officers have proposed the slate of candidates listed below for the 2018 election. The slate is composed of members who have indicated interest at recent club events. Any member can come forward and be added to the list of people considered for the various officer’s positions. If you want to explore holding office, an overview of officer duties can be found at officer duties. You can also get additional information by talking to an existing officer at any monthly meeting or RBNO. If you want to throw your hat into the ring, please let me know quickly at secretary at dprg.org so you can be added to the ballot.
 
Proposed Slate of Officers for 2018
 
President:                 Ray Casler
Vice-President:         Carl Ott
Treasurer:                 Steve Edwards
Secretary:                 Doug Paradis
Librarian:                  John Kuhlenschmidt
 
 
How to Vote
 
All members in good standing can vote. The list of members is at member list . If you are not on the list and you think you should be, the problem is most likely that you need to renew your membership. Contact secretary at dprg.org if you need help renewing your membership. 
 
Members can vote by emailing their vote to election at dprg.org before the January 13th meeting. The email should be a forwarded copy of this email with the text "I vote for the proposed officer slate", or "I vote for the following people for office", or similar text that allows our volunteer election vote counter, Ron Grant, to determine your intentions.
 
Members can also vote in person or proxy at the January 13th DPRG meeting. If voting by proxy, you should signal your intention to vote by proxy by sending an email to the person that you are giving control of your vote and the election at dprg.org. The person holding the proxy must then vote.
 
Tee-Shirt Giveaway
 
This year as an encouragement to vote and to provide members a chance to obtain a club tee-shirt, a free club tee-shirt will be given to all members who vote. This is a onetime event and will not be repeated in the future. The reason for the giveaway is to correct the problem that club tee-shirts have not been available to members in over 3 years. 
 
The shirts that will be given away will be similar to the 2008 Ron Grant design seen at https://www.dprg.org/tee-shirts-of-the-past-and-present/. Members can select either a pocketed or non-pocketed version of the shirt.
 
Members who cannot attend regular club meetings (i.e., live outside of Dallas area, have health issues, special cases) will have the shirt mailed to them at no cost by DPRG.
 
The conditions for participation in the tee-shirt distribution are:
1. Must be a member in good standing of DPRG on January 13th, 2018.
2. Must vote in the 2018 DPRG officer election.
3. Must provide DPRG with a tee-shirt size and indication of whether a pocket or a no pocket version of the shirt is desired.
4. Must provide a mailing address if qualified to have the shirt mailed.


After the election, the tee-shirts will be ordered and made available at the February monthly meeting (or mailed).
