Per the OBC Rules of Conduct (http://www.oldbaseball.com/obcroc.html), every six months a poll is taken, in whichall (including inactive) members must state their desire to remain on the membership rolls. Please reply with a simple yes or no. Any member that doesn't respond to this membership poll, again per the Rules of Conduct, will be removed from the rolls. I will conduct the poll for one month, with several reminders. I pledge todo my part to make sure you have full opportunity to remain in OBC. Afterone month all non-responding names will be forwarded to the AC for removalconsideration. Please don't let your name be one of them! ================= To: Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 21:39:37 -0000 From: "geno.wagner" Subject: Election Commissioner is... OBCers -- Grant Rainsley is going to be this year's Commissioner, so he'll be soliciting nominations starting on Feb 1st. If for whatever reason you are not subscribed to Ramblings and want to vote, please contact Grant directly as he will be using that server to run the election. Please take a few moments to think about nominations. We need seven members and a facilitator, however there is no limit to how many you can nominate and can nominate the same person for both roles if you want. With that being said, please ask the person first to be sure they want to serve before nominating them.... From here, I hand it over to Grant! ================= To: Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 05:56:27 -0000 From: "geno.wagner" Subject: OBC January Report OBCers -- Here's the OBCAC business for January: 1) Motion to accept Joe Greco for membership. Passed 7-0 2) Motion to bring back annual dues in the amount of $10. Defeated 5-2 3) Motion to request all members to check their lists and verify the date or add a date if needed. Passed 6-1 4) Joel Glickman moved to the Inactive List No vote required It's good to see Joe back in the fold again! I've had the pleasure of throwing cardboard around in his basement after a Ft. Washington show, so I'm glad he's back! I still remember the 1960 Maris AS he gave me to finish my set... The third measure is a request to the membership, so here it is: Please update your wantlists at regular intervals! Even if it hasn't changed, you can change the date just by resubmitting it if you have an OBC-linked wantlist. Even easier, just put a date at the top of your list. There are some wantlists that are over two years old and nobody is sure if they are even valid anymore. When looking for someone to send a random card to, many of us hesitate to send one to a person who's list is so out of date. SO do us all a favor and make the sure your wantlist is current!! Lastly, the OBCAC election is just around the corner - be a part of it, either recommending or running, but most certainly by voting. Your OBCAC is: Ken Morganti, Joshua Levine, Brian Lindholme, Bob Donaldson, Jim Hatch, Doug Smith, and Mike Wierzbicki Take Care, ================= Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 05:08:40 -0800 (PST) To: "geno.wagner" , From: Michael Wierzbicki Subject: Re: John Ball I was saddened to receive the news that John Ball died. Could the AC approve sending a wreath to the funeral or, if that has already taken place, to his family?
