Well...
I would be interested in knowing whether anyone (that would be you, Edgar) had bothered to ask the nominees if they are interested in being nominated for these positions. I don't want to nominate someone for a position they aren't interested in doing. Some people have busy lives already. I note for the record that Ken has been nominated and hasn't chimed in yet. Has anyone asked him if he's OK with this? I'm OK with it, but it would have been nice to have been given a heads up first.
Assuming these people are OK with being nominated...
My nominees are:
President: Fred Macdonell (sntcruzan)
Vice President: Edgar Ortega/Kenneth MacNeil (EdgarOrtega/Kenthebugguy) shared
Secretary/Archivist: Lony Meyer (BayLee)
Treasurer: Rachel Edler (Arachnocat)

I respectfully excuse myself from the nomination of Co- Vice President. Thanks to everybody who nominated me, I appreciate it very much. I absolutely believe Edgar to be far more qualified for Vice President of SF Bats and I heartily endorse him!
