This tear we have an outstanding group of candidates I know them all and there are good reasons for each to be deserving our support. This year District 47 can't loose.

In the past there have been complaints of certain election irregularities. This year

I hope there wil l be none. As credentials chairman, I wil l make every effort to see that each elector is properly qualified to cast any ballot that he might request.

Anyone not personally known to a member of the Credentials Committee on duty wil l be asked for positive identification and it is expected that a drivers license be available It is recommended that delegates also carry their current TM membership card with their Club number.

A President or Educational Vice Pres. may request both club ballots or either of them may sign a proxy which can be used by any active member of their club to obtain that club's ballots A club must have an active member present in order to vote on District business, including the election of officers

Upon registering at the convention, each TMwil l be asked to sign the registration form indicating the club he wil l represent and the office he holds, if any If a TM is a member of more than one club, he may only represent one of them at the business meeting In addition, a registration fee must be paid in order for the club to be represented

An active member of the District Executive Committee, which includes current Area Governors, is entitled to a vote. These votes may not be cast by proxy. However, an Area Gov. may be represented at the business session by proxy and may receive mileage reimbursement for representing his Area, but he cannot vote. If an Executive Committee member also represents his club, he may cast a total of three votes.

Each member wil l be asked to sign a ballot request form, as in past years, attesting to his membership and indicating that he is entitled to his club ballots. Al l signatures on proxies wil l be verified either before or after the election. Any irregularities wil l be brought to the attention of the District Exec. Comm. and to the club involved.

The elections wil l be conducted in accordance with the District By - Laws and every effort wil l be exercised to see that everyone is treated fairly Your cooperation with the Credentials Committee will be apreciated Charlie Jones, DTM Chm'n. Credentials Comm.

BURGAY (continued from page g)

Following this, there wil l be an open discussion. Everyone attending wil l be invited to tell us about something done in his club that other clubs could use. (We all have some good ideas, let's communicate them)

Th is open dicussion should be very productive, so bring a pencil and paper TAKE NOTES Then, after a coffee break,we wil l have an IDEA FAIR District Chairmen, wil l tell you how to use their specialty to make your club better. Each wil l have free literature for you and plenty of good advice They wil l show you what to do , how to get started and how to follow through

The only way to loose is by not being there SO.. BE THERE! I will Wil l you ?
