Each person will be pulled aside so they vote can be made. keep in mind that this is only if there are more than one person running for the second vice position or the secretary position. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If you plan on nominating someone from the floor, make sure that you ask that person if they wish to even hold the position. and if you’re planning on running for that position make sure you have somebody nominate you from the floor.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to give me a call at 815-501-1153. and, be rest assured I will re-post this information after the first of the year.
