Nominations for 2008

[94Dodge Truggy]

I accept the nomination for President again...Anyone else want it? Don't be afraid :)

Are you still interested enough in the club and want to be the president? I want to make sure that you are still into it and that you are not feeling like you have no options.

[carwash]

I think he's trying to say you don't do enough work and he wants you out of the club Jeff... damn these noobs... hahahah

you skip one meeting to go to the most exciting football game ever, and you are being stripped of your official position... how's that for gratitude!! hahahaah

just kidding, i know what you mean Scott, you just want to make sure he doesn't feel obligated to hold the position. I think Jeff is an interested in the club as anyone, and makes a great president. but i agree, others should run for it if they are interested. sometimes change can be good.

[94Dodge Truggy]

I have known Jeff for a long time now. (over 15 years/ back in the 250 quad days) He is a great speaker and has been very benificial to the club. I just want to make sure that I know where he stands. ;)

[tjjeepjeep]

Maybe it's just me since I'm fairly new and have just recently become more involved with the club itself. However, I find myself wondering what the responsibilities and/or member expectations are of each of the officer positions. Can someone help me to understand?

This is going to require alot of typing. :o Good question!

[JasonCJ7]

I actually was hoping to be nominated for vp or trustee. I have been a member for 4 or 5 years, and want to keep the club "crawlin". I have beenimpressed with the club, what it stands for, and its outreach efforts.

No hard feeling towards anyone else, I think the club has voice and whoever is elected will do their best to continue the clubs forward progress.

[jeepmanjeff]

I am still very interested in the club and still will do the best job I can if elected again. Just saying that this position should not be "locked"into myself. Every paid member should have the opportunity to run for any position. This is a democracy!

I appreciate all the kind words from you all!
