VBCU 2008 Executive Board
Dear Circle Sisters:
For the last month I have been making phone calls to all of the circle presidents to see if anyone would be interested in filling any of the officer positions for the 2009 & 2010 Virginia Beach City Union Executive Board. We will need a whole new slate of officers consisting of president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Currently, we have filled the position of the secretary and continue to seek volunteers to serve in the capacities of president, vice president, and treasurer. It is mid-October and the Nominating Committee is concerned about getting nominees for this board. We are required by our bylaws to present the slate of nominees at the November VBCU meeting (held Nov. 5th). The Virginia Beach City Union has to have an executive board. If you feel you would be able to volunteer for the 2009 & 2010 VBCU Executive Board, please give me a call as soon as possible. Babs Szycher, VBCU President, and Brenda Knapp, VBCU Treasurer, have worked very hard to organize everything so that it would be much easier for the new president and treasurer to take over. Below are the duties of the officers (it might be much easier to read if you print out this email). Please consider a two year commitment for being an officer on the VBCU 2009 & 2010 Executive Board. Thank you for lending a hand!
Sincerely,
Michelle Riggins
