This is just for your information, with no recommendations from me, one
way or the other.

Be sure & note that the place & program was provided by Mike St. Clair
(a candidate for RAL) but he has turned it all over to 3 volunteers who
are not candidates in this election.
Wally Garchow (CC in OH among others),
Alice Gayley (CC in PA) &
Donna Allen (CCin TN, TX, & VA).

Dear USGW Member,

It is that time of year again! Elections are coming, and this year, I
would like to give every member the opportunity to really get to
know the candidates in all categories.

Sometimes it is really hard to vote in these elections when we are not
given the tools to know the people running and all of the
issues on the ballot. This year, we would like to change that. An
invitation has been sent to all candidates to join an open
Candidate forum. This is where you, as a voting member of the USGW can
come and ask the candidates questions in order to get
their views on all topics, and so that you can get to know them better.

Thanks to Mike St.Clair who provided the space and the software, we have
three volunteer members, who are not candidates, who
will be administering the forum for you. Wally Garchow (CC for Darke &
Preble Co's in OH among others), Alice Gayley (CC for
Clearfield, Armstrong & Jefferson Co's in PA) and Donna Allen (CC for
Giles Co., TN, Culpeper, Richomond & Rappahnnock Co.,
VA, McIntosh Co., GA, Moore, Klegerg, Jim Hogg Co's, TX, Co-Coordinator
Texas Postcards Project, and Co-Coordinator "Getting
Started in Genealogy" a Tennessee Special Project).....Thank you a
million times over for caring about your project and your fellow
members!

The forum is now open for you to register to participate! Please
consider joining us at
http://election.temp-site.us/profile.php?mode=register. You will be
able to ask questions of all candidates in all regions, or you
may just observe the Q & A of the candidates by other members. Either
way it is a tool designed to help you at Election time! We
will also be discussing the proposed Bylaw change in this forum. If you
didn't know, the work that the BRC did will not make it to
this ballot. So there is one change being proposed, it was sponsored by
5 states. Please come in and take a look at both the
good and the bad of the proposed change.

I hope to see you there. Your voice and vote matters so much in how
this project is run. Remember, this is your project. Please
come out and vote.

Sincerely,
Paulette Carpenter
