No, we are not talking about Trump's "rigged" election, this is the
election of the 2017 executive for MUGOO.

The election will be held at the November 28th regular MUGOO meeting at
Centrepointe.

The 4 positions on the executive that are elected are as follows:

President (incumbent: Ferriss High)   
Meeting Coordinator (vacant)       
Treasurer (incumbent: Steve Lawrenson)
Secretary (incumbent: Wally Kuzmicz)

Please note that the position of VP is not directly elected. The past
President automatically becomes VP.

Vice President (incumbent: Lynda Matsumoto)     

There are other positions on the executive that are appointed. For a
full list see: http://www.mugoo.com/wiki/index.php/Main/ContactInfo

If you wish to run for one of the 4 positions or nominate someone,
please send the details in an email to exec@mugoo.ca or come to the Nov
meeting and nominate the person from the floor.

Treasurer: Steve Lawrenson
Secretary: Marc Servant

Please note that the position of VP is not directly elected. The past President automatically becomes VP.

Vice President: Ferriss High

The after-meeting meeting at The Royal Oak was well attended and engaging as always.  Marc Servant will be posting the Meeting Summaries and replacing me as Secretary after I assume the Mugoo Presidency in 2017.  Yes, Mrs Clinton, a Secretary can become President.

Thanks to all contributors and participants.
