The Annual Meeting on August 19, 2012 and the elections cannot be conducted without your presence. A quorum of 5% of the members in good standing must be present before the Annual Meeting or elections can take place.

Petitions for the office of Trustee have been received by the Elections Chairman and the candidates below will appear on the ballot. As required by the By-Laws, these petitions were all received by July 31, 2012.

The names of the candidates, and the sections they will represent if elected, are as follows:
Section 2

The By-Laws permit members in good standing to be elected as Trustees even though their names are not on the ballot by having members write their names either on an Absentee Ballot or during the election at the Annual Meeting. If you wish to serve as a Trustee (you must reside in one of the four sections electing Trustees) on the Voting Board, you may be elected through the write-in process. Trustee candidates must be members in good standing for each of the three (3) years immediately preceding the election on August 19, 2012.

Absentee Ballots are available at the Club Office beginning Saturday, August 4, 2012. The Absentee Ballot must be received at the Club Office, either by mail or in person, with your validated 2012 Membership Card enclosed in the envelope provided no later than Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 4:00 pm.

Elections will be held August 19th at the Annual Meeting. Make sure that you attend this meeting and that you have your laminated-validated 2012 Membership Card with you. If you have any questions, please leave a message for me at the Club office at 973-764-4366.
