We're still looking for volunteers to run for office. Please let us know if you're interested in a position and if so, which one! We need everyone to step up and run for an office. It isn't much of an election when everyone runs uncontested!

Want a louder voice? Want to help steer the organization? Want to help make the decisions that shape YOUR community? Volunteering a little time is a great way to do all of this!

Congratulations to all the new officers. You have a great responsibility on your shoulders and a thankless job ahead of you. Don't ever let that get you down. The people who silently appreciate you far exceed the loud minority.

This club, these members and our new leaders are capable of greatness. I've seen it in all of them. I hope you all join me in supporting their efforts.

Well...guess the party is at my house this coming Saturday the 13th! Couldn't have worked better huh!?

Thanks for everyone that voted, I hope I don't let you down! I belong to some different Clubs and all of them talk about doing things and making changes, this one actually has! MACNA last year is a testament to how a small group of dedicated people can make a significant impact in our hobby by sheer determination and the will to succeed.

The previous BOD achieved a lot and also sacrificed a lot of their personal life so that these things could be achieved. Many thanks to all of them for their hardwork and here's hoping that you all stick around to help the Club grow even more!

My goal is to hold the first BOD meeting following the General Club meeting this March. In this meeting we can set goals and objectives for the Club for the coming year and shortly thereafter share them with all of the members via a monthly Newsletter that will cover not only what happens in our General Meetings but also what happens in our BOD meeting, and general status of the Club, more details after the meeting!

On a personal note, I would like to personally thank Phyllis who represents to me all that this Club has and can achieve, and Paul (redfishbluefish) who showed me that someone can keep with their assumed responsibilities even after their personal lives throws them for a crazy ride, hope both of you stick around, you are assets to this community! To all the other BOD members and MODS, you all know how I feel so let's get to work and make this Club great(er)!

Best!

The winners would all be in the polls for the elections. Most were uncontested with the exception of the DAL-Central, I believe.

I suppose that I could look through them all but since they are in the members only section there are some non paying members who cannot find that out. Personally to improve communication wouldn't it make sense to list them. Or are we trying to keep them a state secret? ;D
