Join us for our May meeting on May 19 at 10:00 at the State Building Auditorium. We will learn more about each of the Presidential candidates through short presentations given by our members. We will also elect a new member to our Executive Board to fill a vacancy (see below) and choose our Volunteer of the Year for the DP/SFV Truman Awards event.

Open Seat on the VGFD E-Board
Because of a vacancy on the VGFD Executive Board we will be conducting an election to fill the open seat at our May meeting. The person elected will fill the seat for the remainder of the term, which expires in September, 2007.

To be eligible to run you must be a member in good standing (i.e. you've paid your dues) for at least 90 days and volunteered for VGFD for at least 30 hours in the last 12 months. Nominations will be taken from the floor; however if you wish to nominate yourself send an email to election@valleygrassrootsfordemocracy.com by May 15. All nominees will be given an opportunity to speak to the group before the election and members who are nominated before May 15 will be able to send a short written statement to the membership. (You don't need to send that statement with your nomination; you will be asked to send it later.)

In order to vote members must have been members for at least 90 days and have paid dues for the current year. If you haven't paid your $10 annual dues yet please do so soon by mailing your check to VGFD, PO Box 573383, Tarzana, CA 91357. You can also pay online with a credit card at http://www.actblue.com/page/vgfddues. (Our treasurer says it's easier for him if you pay online.)
