================= Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 15:47:58 EDT To: OBC-announcements@yahoogroups.com From: cardclctor@aol.com Subject: Help Wanted Attention OBC'ers, Back in February, we held our annual election for the seven voting members (and one alternate) of the Advisory Committee. We also had an election for the OBCAC's facilitator, but Geordie Calvert ran unopposed. Now his new job requires a lot more of his time than he had anticipated and he's been forced to step down. The Rules of Conduct state that a new facilitator can be appointed by a vote of the AC. To that end, we are seeking interested candidates. The only qualification for the position is that you have to be an OBC member in good standing for three years. If you're interested in keeping the voting members in line, please contact me or any of the other AC members and let us know. We'll pick our new facilitator from the interested candidates in a couple weeks, so please reply ASAP! The other 'job opening' I have to announce is for the position of (n)ew (m)emeber (g)uy. Peter Iversen has admirably filled this behind the scenes role for as long as I can remember. He also expressed a desire to turn over the reins back in Feb., but that request was sorta forgotten by the AC as a group until now. There's no real qualifications, as the position isn't described in the ROC, but I'd say a general knowledge of how the group works would be ideal. Routine tasks would be contacting prospective members to be sure their applications are filled out completely, checking references and contacting the applicant's sponsors, and setting them up with a mentor once their application is approved. Unlike the facilitator position, the term of service is as long as you want to do it. Again, any interested parties should contact me or the other AC members. Since we've never had to fill the post before, I supposed we'll also take a vote from among those interested next month. So please let us know if you'd like to get involved. Thanks for your help! Ken M Your OBCAC is: Andy Cook, Wayne Delia, Matt Glidden, Ken Morganti Mike Rich, Steve Rittenberg, and Mark Talbot See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ================= Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 14:25:56 -0400 To: obc-announcements@yahoogroups.com From: "Steve Rittenberg" Subject: Please welcome the newest OBCers Please welcome the newest OBCers: Rick Lyons 5130 61st ST NE Marysville, WA 98270 Home Phone 360-659-9780 Web Page URL (none listed) Mike Mroz 57381 River Oaks Drive New Haven, MI 48048 Work Phone 586-596-2776 Home Phone 586-596-2776 E-mail mfmroz@prodigy.net Web Page URL http://www.geocities.com/mfmroz@prodigy.net/wantlist.html Wayne / Joe Isaac: Please go do that voodoo that you do so well (to get them on the directory page, etc.).
