Thank you to all the outgoing executive members and a warm welcome to those of you who are new to the executive this coming year.

As well.. a big thank you to all the members who volunteered for positions.  In my years with the club, this is the first time I have seen positions with multiple candidates running.  It is nice to see the volunteer spirit alive and well in the club!

I will start some research and try my best to put together some interesting and entertaining speakers and meetings for next year.  Thanks for the opportunity.

[BigDaddy]

Kevin... as an executive body we've already got at least one program lined up for you to finalize... I'm sure the "wow factor" will be good.

Excellent!!!  As Miss Vice President said I will also give Spencer a call as he has a ton of contacts.  I guess I will just have to get some questions answered from the current exec as to how things work, how much money I have to work with, limits to be spent on a speaker etc....local = better of course!!!

So Art, what are you going to do next year?

Sit in the audience and enjoy the show

Does this mean that Chris gets two votes at the exec meetings

[mseguin]

We try to let him talk as little as possible

[darkdep]

Unfortunately for him, I usually have a lot to say  

You know, he brings up an interesting point.  Do "executives" place votes, or do "positions"?

[BigDaddy]

Given the spirit of the wording behind establishing quorum (which is to ensure a certain number of executives are present in order to conduct business), it would be the former, not the latter.  Since we would not count Chris twice to establish quorum, it would only make sense that we would only count his vote once as well.   

[darkdep]

Besides, I usually come up with such crazy arguments sometimes that it's probably better for the planet if I don't ever get more than one vote.

True... otherwise we might see a new BAP award for mermaids

And there is a problem with this?  I am planning an all mermaid meeting for next fall

Whew - and to think I was convinced DD had cloned himself. I feel much better knowing there is only one of him.

So does his wife
