Elections for club officers are held every two years. Our next elections will be in 2009. For more information, see Article 4 of the club constitution.

The nominations for the 2007 - 2009 Officers and Board of Directors of the CCGTCC have been submitted and tallied. 56 nomination forms were received. There were several individual nominations, but the CCGTCC By-Laws require a nomination and second for any position in order for it to be valid.

The following members received a nomination and second from current CCGTCC members, but respectfully declined the nomination:

• Brian Cashman - President
• Ralph Myers - Vice President
• Ralph Myers - Membership Officer
• Mike Quinlivan - Treasurer
• Chuck Smorse - Vice President

The following members received a nomination and second from current CCGTCC members and accepted the nomination:

• Joe Pavlik - President
• Wayne Thompson - President
• Jay Sands - Vice President (Unopposed)
• Jim Follis - Secretary
• Belinda Hixon - Secretary
• Doug Smith - Treasurer (Unopposed)
• Sunday Silverman - Membership Officer (Unopposed)

Therefore, ballots for the Office of President and the Office of Secretary will be included in the Winter 2007 magazine for all current CCGTCC members. The magazine will be mailed in February, 2007. Ballots will be mailed separately to all CCGTCC Associate Members at that time.

The ballots will also contain the proposed Constitutional Amendments. These amendments are included in the Fall 2006 magazine for members’ review. The magazine will be mailed in November 2006. Constitutional Amendments require a 2/3 majority of voters to pass.

The results of the CCGTCC Election will be published after the May 1, 2007 deadline. At the CCGTCC annual business meeting in August 2007, we, the Election Co-Chairmen, will report the results of the election which will then be certified, at the meeting, by a vote of the current Officers and Board of Directors.

Respectfully Submitted,

BRUCE & MARY ANN MASSEY
CCGTCC Election Co-Chairmen
