{Chrysler 300} Time to step down

You’ve probably seen the club election announcement on-line or in the last Newsflite. We’re electing officers and board members this year. Nominations were due February 14 ^th. I was nominated along with John Begian for the office of president. Since the nomination, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking it over. Before the ballots could be sent out, I decided it is time for a change. I've been a familiar face but there's a need for someone with enthusiasm and new ideas. In short, I've decided to decline my nomination. With nominations closed and John running unopposed, he will become president at the fall meet. I can’t think of a better person for the job.

Over the years I’ve enjoyed your letters, talking on the phone and by email. Seeing everyone at meets is great. Thanks for tolerating me at the business meetings and banquets! You folks are the glue that holds the club together. I can’t say enough about the officers, board and committee members of this club. We come from different backgrounds and viewpoints, but everyone has a common thought, do what’s right for the club. They work hard and don’t get enough recognition. Please tell them you appreciate their work.

Andrea and I aren’t going anywhere. We’ll be making the meets and look forward to seeing everyone. Here’s hoping we will all be vaccinated, healthy and happy in Auburn Hills.
