Thanks Gordon, I got my E-ballot today.

In view of the historical data wouldn't it be more efficient to elect Trustees for life and then only hold special elections when a Trustee chooses/volunteers to step down?

[Emil Wojcik]

Very funny, Cliff.

[Vic Skirmants]

Give it a rest, Cliff. I voted at 7:10 AM; wrote in your name.

[Dave Erickson]

Are candidates statements posted on-line?

[Wes Bender]

Dave, go here: https://porsche356registry.org/article/321?

[C J Murray]

What changes/improvements are proposed by the candidates? The statements are fairly brief.

[Greg Stout]

I'm just thankful there are folks WILLING, to step up and do this.....

Gordon,
Good idea to make info available easily; please link the candidates statements on the voting page.
If you want participation, make it easy.

[Gordon Maltby]

Ron,

It's not possible to link statements to the voting page. If people are too lazy to click over to the front page here, or read their magazine, what can I say? Well, in fact, I can say plenty but I won't.

Maybe Gordon's relatives are visiting for Thanksgiving?

[Wes Bender]

This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for everything that Gordon has done and is doing for the Registry.

Happy Early Thanksgiving to everyone.

Cheers,
Wes

Maybe Gordon's relatives are visiting for Thanksgiving?

It is that obvious? I fact it's just my mother-in-law, but she's OK.

And back to something else you mentioned, Cliff: expanded statements from trustee candidates. We have always encouraged members to contact candidates if they have questions or want to know more about their positions. Both email and phone numbers are at the end of each statement. As far as I know, few members take advantage of this, but it's always there if you really want to know how someone thinks about an issue.

FYI, we have just passed 1000 voters online, a new high and a good thing for the club.

Hi Gordon,
Happy Thanksgiving!

Asking the Trustees directly about Term Limits, Competitive Bidding of Major Purchases, and Travel and Entertainment Expense Detail reporting has only gotten me yelled at. Well, maybe just a raised voice but it wasn't pleasant. No, it wasn't who you think it was. Posting the same questions on the Talk forum only elicits attacks from members that incorrectly hear an attack of their friends rather than a simple question that may deserve some conversation amongst the members. It's too bad that there can't be a mature discussion of the pros and cons of policy without resorting to personal issues.

Everybody, enjoy your day!
