My name's Jonathan and I approve this message. Wow, Lego. I could have sent you a picture of my butt, if you asked.

The Starfest stories I've heard... And just for you: And I nominate Sarnia for WOTR representative, Grimby for web mistress, and zeraduel for treasurer (assuming he pops up around here at some point!)

Shall we have nominations from now through the end of the month? That gives us 24 days to nominate...plenty of time to say "Not it!" Then we can vote from December 1st through (and including for those who hadn't voted until that date) the meeting on December 15th, with the new officers announced at the meeting. Sound like a plan? Let the attack ads on attack ads start!
I nominate Darth Hair for MAL, cos everyone loves him. I nominate Sith Chick for Treasurer cos she be good with the numbers. I want to nominate Zoo for something just so she can scream "NOT [TOS violation] IT!" Oh, and not it.
I nominate Sith Chick for CR, Zoo for Co CR, DH for MAL, Melody sorry don't know how to spell your screen name for Treasurer, JT for Secretary because he looks good in a skirt and Becca for WOTR Liasan.
I have 2, possibly 3 events in the first 6 months of 2013 which I am responsible for, and then another 1-2 in the Fall. Also, I'm pulling the trigger and going back to school. My time is already booked, so all I have to say is.... NOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ergo, we need to book her some time in the loony bin right around a year from now. I second Grimby for Webspinner. I'm trying to think of people without babies or massive health issues for CR and CoCR -- although didn't we blend CoCR and MAL?
Nominations: CR - Sith__Chick Co-CR/MAL - Darth Hair Treasurer - nnaydolem, zeraduel, Sith__Chick Secretarian - DieWompRatDie Webmaster - Grimby WOTR Liaison - Sarnia As much as it must be tradition for people to yell "Not it," please wait until somebody nominates you for something and then you may decline, if you wish.
I thought WOTR Liason was an appointed position, not a voted one? Did that change? I am still happy to do it=)
Uhmm, I say no to CR and a possible no to Co-CR. My time doing other things (sewing) just doesn't make me available for computer time, my work is getting busier and busier by the hour.
The machine demands new blood. I nominate Dan & Michael (hamburger helper Michael, not Michael Michael) for CR & Co-CR)
Not it! I think you're stuck with it for another 5 year term. I did enjoy the smear campaign video and await a good retort from J.T. Although now I know why he went through so many foster kids.
Thanks so much for the nomination. I don't really like note taking. So I'd be a grumpy secretarian. I decline.
