Fwd: NSRCA Voting Process

[Ed Hartley]

We have voting on line in place with our KCRC club in Knoxville. It is 
required by the bylaws. That said we only get about forty percent of the 
membership voting.

The best way to do this is as the Senior Pattern Association does it. We 
send a self addressed envelope along with the ballot and dues renewal form. 
It's interesting, NSRCA may get fifteen or twenty percent of the vote 
returned. SPA gets around seventy five percent of the members voting and in 
ninety-five percent the renewal is returned with the vote. Our 
secretary/Treasurer and a couple of others validate the votes. (BTW, we 
trust them!) After all this is fun sport and hanging chads etc. don't matter 
to much!

I personally feel that anyone that doesn't trust Maureen Dunphy has some 
serious issues!

VOTE,
Ed Hartley
