Annual Membership Meeting, Election and Potluck
Elections are coming up! This year, the Board of Directors will implement term limits, as dictated by its new bylaws. Once all the nominees are announced, elections will take place at the May members’ meeting on Thursday, May 10, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Please note this is a time change from the usual meeting time. The three nominees with the most votes will join the Board for a three-year term; the next three for a two-year term, and the next four for a one-year term. In the event of a tie, a coin toss will determine which term is filled by which nominee. After each of their terms is up, each member will be eligible to run again until they have served three consecutive three-year terms.
You can also now vote absentee! If you won’t be at the May meeting, be sure to pick up an absentee ballot from the Museum beforehand and return it to the museum by 3:30 pm on Wednesday, May 9, or else your vote will not be counted! The absentee ballot is also available on the Museum’s website at http://www.plymouthhistory.org/cm/dpl/downloads/content/155/AbsenteBallot2012.pdf.
The May membership meeting is also a potluck dinner. If your last name begins with A-H, please bring a dessert; if it begins with I-R please bring a side dish; and S-Z, please bring a main dish. The Museum will provide beverages. If you have any questions about the election process or absentee voting, please contact Mike Gillett, administrative assistant, 734-455-8940.
