After the "Moment of Silence," we jumped right into the nomination's process. First round of nominations:

• President: Jaime
• Vice President: Barry
• Secretary: Ken
• Chief Legislative Officer: Mike E
• Referee: Laszlo
• Treasurer: Simo
• Sgt-at-Arms: Eddie

Late breaking news: After sleeping on it, our current Referee, Laszlo, has indicated his decision to step down as Referee. He has indicated he does not wish to hold office next year, so we will need a new Referee. Nominations will be re-opened next week at our regularly scheduled meeting (December 9) followed by the elections. This is an IMPORTANT meeting, so if you haven't made any other meetings this year, this is the one!

Reminder: The Christmas/Holiday Party is Friday Night, December 18. Chris is still waiting on your top three picks for the buffet entrees so we can submit our final decision to the Irish Cottage. Cost of the party will be $20.00 per Full Member, with the club kicking in $24 per member and first invited guest. All others will have to pay the full $44.00.

As in year's past, we will have an Anonymous Grab Bag. Please don't spend over $20.00 on your gift. Men should bring in gifts for men, women should bring in gifts for women (and please CLEARLY label which is which). Bring a gift, and get a gift.

Thanks and see everyone on the 9th!!
