Looking back at the past two elections, 48% of the
Membership voted in 1998. In the 1996, the returns
were only 36%. Your help is needed to turn out an even
greater number of voters for this election. Please
talk up the election on your nets, and bring it up at
your Club Meetings. Lets try to get as many ballots
returned as possible.
Your vote can make a difference. Why not mark your
ballot and get it in the mail today. Don't let others
make your decision for you. Returning your Ballot, for
the Great Lakes Division election, will be appreciated
by all of the Candidates taking part in this important
event.
