I responded to Joe and I'm not a member of any "clique". I have made a number of friends in the and I value their opinions & friendships, including many that I have only "met" on-line on this BB.

The direction of the is important to me as are those that will lead the club. I personally don't like the fact that several offices were filled unopposed as I would like to see more involvement from more members. There are two offices that have "opposing" candidates seeking election. Wayne Thompson has stated his views and stances to all concerned on the club BB, while Joe has not responded to numerous requests for his views / platform. That is what irritates me...he wants to respond in person or via e-mail but not to the "constituancy" as a whole.

Also, Jim Follis is running against Belinda Hixon for Secretary. Jim has been very eloquent in his expression of ideas and has responded to questions raised by members...I think that this is great & I hope that likewise, Ms. Hixon will provide her views and ideas.

Maybe Mr. Pavlik will present his ideas and his stances (and I sincerely hope he does) so that voting members can make an informed choice. Up to this point, he has avoided this and that is what is irritating to me.
