Oh yes they will, I got it.
You are doing just fine.
Even the dumb lady understood that smile.

> Hi again, fellow Montana Federationists.



> El Presidente here again.  I thought my brain was engaged, but apparently it
> wasn't, when I sent out the previous message.  I need to make some
> clarifications.  The message I sent out previously had a few alternative
> facts in it, shall we say.  Call it a Trumpism, where the mouth speaks or the
> fingers tweet and the brain is not altogether engaged.  So, let me start over
> and hope I get it right this time.  Disregard everything I said previously.
> Well, maybe not ev-ery-thing, just everything in the previous one or two
> messages.



> Ok, so here we go again.  Third or fourth time's a charm?



> The following Montana affiliate officers and board members were elected in
> 2016 for two year terms.  They will be up for re-election at the convention
> in 2018, and if they are re-elected, they will begin their new terms after
> the 2018 convention.

> Joy Breslauer, President

> Sheila Leigland, First vice President

> Donna Harris, Second Vice President

> Rik James, Secretary

> Ted Robbins, Treasurer

> Jeff Haworth, board member at large

>  Jim Aldrich, board member at large



> The following two board member positions are up for election for two year
> terms at the 2017 convention in Bozeman.  If re-elected, they will begin
> their new terms after the 2017 convention and serve till after convention,
> 2019.

> Linda Hurlock, board member at large

> Stacie Huff, board member at large



> Ok, now here's the part where you have to listen up and I have to tell the
> truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Hannah.



> If either one of the board members up for election in 2017 does not wish to
> have their names submitted for nomination to the Board for the next two year
> term, please let the nominating committee know at the convention.  If anyone
> else wants to run for the board, please let the nominating committee know at
> the convention.   The nominating committee for this convention consists of
> the three chapter Presidents, Rik James, Sheila Leigland, and Jeff Haworth.
> They will have a closed meeting at which they will choose a chairperson and
> vote to submit a slate of names for nomination to the board.  During the
> election, the President will ask for any other nominations from the floor.
> If you wish to be nominated for a board position, let someone know so they
> can place your name in nomination if the nominating committee hasn't already
> done so.  It is not considered in good form to nominate yourself.  If you
> wish to nominate someone for a board position, please check with them first
> to make sure they will accept if elected.  Once your name has been nominated,
> we will ask for a short speech about why you think you should be elected, and
> then we will take a vote, until the person with a majority of the votes is
> elected to each position.



> I hope I got it right this time.



> The only thing I ask is that the nominating committee members remember that
> what goes on at their meeting behind closed doors is kept strictly
> confidential, and may not be discussed with anyone at any time for any reason
> before the vote is taken at the convention.



> Clear as mud?

> expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
> between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
> blindness is not what holds you back.
