Re: [AGA-mcm] contest chai job description -elections

[Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com>]

Yes, we would need to amend the bylaws before we coul
hold elections. I guess I am just trying to see how
others feel about it before making any type of formal
motion to the board.

King eh? Hmmmm Erik described the position to me as
something quite different from that of a King but I
like the idea. It reminds me of when I tell people
that I am the king of my household and I do really
believe it. The unfortunate part is I appear to be the
only one ;-). 

Regards,

Larry 
King of One
