Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We are off to a great start.  One week down and one more to go.  So far we
have 4 candidates for 7 board seats.

In the order they announced:

Marcel Taeumel
David T. Lewis
Tim Rowledge
Bert Freudenberg

We could use at least THREE more candidates!  Hello hello? Is this thing
on? I can hear you breathing!

If you are going to run this year, please announce soon!  If you are not
going to run please talk to people you know that you think would make a
good board member and ask them to run!  It's always nice to have more than
7 candidates!

Also if your email has changed please let me know!  We want to get as many
people voting as possible! If you want to vote this year I encourage you to
let me know so I can get you on the voters list.  Be sure to get to know
the candidates and ask them questions!

Thank you for your participation in this year's election!

All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum

Candidates should nominate themselves and start their campaign on the squea=

If you were invited to vote last year you are already on the voter list, no=

      * Get a &quot;known&quot; Squeaker to vouch for you. If a known Squea=

When the voting period starts all voters will receive an email with instruc=
