[Nfbv-historic-fredericksburg] Chapter Meeting Saturday January 20 at 10 a.m. at the Library on Caroline Street

[Michael Kasey]

Hello Everyone,

 

I plan to attend the Fredericksburg Area Chapter NFB of Virginia meeting
tomorrow.  I encourage you all to be there!

If the Chapter votes to conduct our future meetings on Thursday evenings as
in the past,

I would accept a Nomination and Election as President again.

Looking forward to preserving our Historic traditions and being with each of
you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Michael

If you care about our historic Fredericksburg chapter and want a voice in
its future, your attendance at Saturday's meeting is urgent.  Last month, as
a result of a chapter mandate delivered at the December 30 meeting, I sent
out an email asking each person to vote whether to meet Thursday or
Saturday.  As previously stated, as has always been the case when this issue
came to a vote, the results were extremely close.  This time, however,
something unacceptable occurred.  Very bad feeling resulted.  That is no way
for Historic Fredericksburg historic chapter to begin 2018.

 

Saturday, we are going to vote again, openly and in person.  Regardless of
the outcome, even if it reverses the very close email vote, we will honor
Saturday's upcoming in person results-on one critical condition.  We must
have a quorum of 10.  That is what our Constitution requires for us to
conduct business which needs us to vote.

 

This vote will be our first order of business because the way it turns out
might make a difference in the elections for officers.  I have been
nominated for  president.   However, if the chapter votes to change its
meeting time to Thursdays, I must and will decline the nomination for health
reasons.  Physically, at this time, there is no way I can participate in or
conduct evening meetings.  

 

If the chapter votes to have evening meetings, please know I am not, as my
mother would have said, picking up my marbles and going home because I
didn't get my way.  When I became chapter president three years ago, despite
his brand new leadership responsibilities at the state level, Michael Kasey
spent unbelievable amounts of time on the phone in a genuine effort to
support the chapter as well as me through the transition.  I cannot even
begin to repay his kindness in this respect, but I will do everything
possible to pass it along to the next person. If the meetings remain on
Saturdays, I will run for election and be honored to continue if that is
what the chapter wishes.
