Can a non-board-member volunteer to assist with the treasurer's job. (I am
not volunteering, just asking). May I volunteer Katie Geddes?

Kevin: If you are saying the that I wasn't being strictly serious, believe
me, I am. I firmly believe that Grex deserves a much better treasurer that
I could be. Although I will admit that I was treasure of my Jr. Class in high
school, and did a darn good job. And honestly, if it came down to it, I would
do my very best if for some reason I did end up as treasurer. But I just
think that Grex deserves better.
And yes, I know that the board members will decide later. And everything that
I've said is purely hypothetical. :)

I find myself vaguely curious as to the opinions on this subject of the
board members who will be remaining.

Why is the Silly Hat ineligible? It has it's own fund, already in the
treasurer's book. I'm sure that if it needed a membership, the funds
could just be transferred from one line to the other in the book.

I second flem's inquiry: Remaining board members, please weigh in as
to whether you intend to volunteer, if necessary, to be the next grex
treasurer.

Well, yeah, that, and any other quanta of knowledge that might be
germane. :)

I don't know if this is the right item to be discussing future
treasurers.
I've been acting treasurer fairly often. I know how to do most
everything involved, and though I'm not as well-organized as our recent
treasurers, I'm not a total organizational disaster area. My problem
that I'm under pretty massive time pressure, and expect to remain so for
a couple years (though with some breaks from time to time). I have a
hard time getting around to getting things done in a timely matter. I
just got around with checking with my bank about an $8000 check that I
deposited 3 months ago and that didn't get credited to my account. I've
been wanting to buy a car for half a year now, but have only found time
to get to one car dealer to test drive cars. The concept of taking on
more work right now just doesn't click. I simply do not see how I could
do a decent job of it.

OK, a question that may lead to a suggestion: Is there a requirement that
the treasurer be the bookkeeper?

I would like to encourage two other people to become Board candidates -
Jeff Kaplan (kaplan) and Jeffery Corey (coyote). I think they'd both be
very good Board members.

John (remmers) is out of town at the moment and has asked I remind folks
that nominations close on Monday, November 15th.

After much thought, I'm going to decline nomination. I'm flattered,
but too much of my life is in chaos right now for me to take on any
additional responsibility.

Re 96-97: OK, Mary, it's Jeffrey not Jeffery, but is it Corey or Carey?

I'm honored to have been nominated, but I'm afraid I don't meet the minimum
age requirement to serve on the board. It looks like I am joining the
exclusive ranks of the Ineligible, along with laotzu, the yak, and the silly
hat. ;)

Your in good company. ;-)
Yeah, I thought you were a senior and, at best, just old enough.
Next time.

To answer an eearlier question, the Silly Hat is ineligible for the same
reason as most of the others on that list: not old enuf. :-)
I will send an e-mail making sure the unresponsive know they have been
nominated.

I was also fooled by coyote's online maturity (and he sure knows a lot more
than I do about music).

As a candidate I would have to say that yes, I would be willing to do
whatever necessary to find another excellent treasurer. I would even be
willing to take on the role, and do my best at it. I do think that
perhaps someone else would do better as treasurer.

Okay, November 15th having passed, no more nominations may be
submitted. The election starts December 1 and runs through
December 15. (Bylaws Article 4d)
At this point we have 7 definite candidates: eeyore, flem,
mdw, mooncat, morpheus, other, tod.
We also have 4 nominees who have neither accepted nor declined:
gibson, kaplan, russ, valerie. They should indicate definite
acceptance by the start of the election to appear on the ballot.
I think it's worth pointing out that none of the 7 candidates,
and only 1 of the 4 nominees-in-limbo, have served on the board
before. Since there are 4 open slots to fill, this means that
there will definitely be new blood on the board come January.
Thanks to scg for maintaining the running list of nominees, and
to lilmo for notifying the nominees.
