Yeah, Fatos and Michael have moved south. Oklahoma is Mike’s home state; his mother still lives there. And so as Robert’s Rule of order states (I’ve never read the book)… When the President’s chair is vacated, the next Chair in line takes over the duties which are normally carried out by the President. And you know, elections will be coming along soon, in October during state convention, at our annual meeting. And so, there may be other ways of handling this situation, I am open for discussion! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>What I think I’ll be doing is have a division Board meeting before our next monthly phone meeting.
