This year the ballot is espe Mildred Howard: Circulation cially important. Not only are there many worthy candidates for Director on the ballot, but you will TECHNICAL EDITORS: be asked to approve or disapprove several amend ments to the Constitution. James Adams Wes Door Robert F. Bishop Henry B. Fried Our Constitution has served us well for many years, but, like most other James H. Broughton Ewell D. Hartman Constitutions, some areas of confusion have developed and some glitches Fred S. Burckhardt Robert A. Nelson here and there have caused some of us to propose some housekeeping changes. Edgar "Nick" Cleves Archie B. Perkins Also, and most important, are the amendments establishing the Perpetuation Steven G. Conover Marshall F. Richmond Fund Committee. I will not dwell on the details of this and the other pro Joe Crooks Marvin E. Whitney posals submitted for your approval; they will be well explained on the ballot material. I do want to say this: AWi is operated for the benefit of the mem AW/ OFFICERS: bers by a small group of dedicated people who have the interests of the mem bers at heart, but we do require the guidance of all of the membership from Robert F. Bishop, CEWS: President time to time in order to best serve those members. Alice B. Carpenter, CMW, CEWS: 1st V. President Wes Door, CMW: Secretary This guidance can take many forms. Letters, personal contact, polls and Marvin E. Whitney, CMW, CMC, FAWI: Treasurer surveys are all important But the annual elections are most important, be cause at this time you have the opportunity to choose your future leaders AWi DIRECTORS: and indicate your approval or disapproval on special issues. James Adams, CMW Less than 35% of our members have returned ballots over the last five years. James H. Broughton, CEWS This participation is far too low to indicate the true opinions of the member Buddy Carpenter, CMC, CEWS ship. On some issues, every member that fails to vote casts a "no" vote. So Henry Frystak, CMW I ask you: Take the ten minutes or so to study the ballot, choose the can Ewell D. Hartman, CMW didates you feel best represent your interests, and vote your approval or dis Donald R. Loke approval on the other issues. Follow the instructions carefully. The last bal Ben Matz, CMW lot, which returned the number of Directors to 15, resulted in several hun Robert A. Nelson, CMW, CEWS, FAWI dred invalid ballots because they were sent to the AWi office instead of the Marshall F. Richmond, CMW election accountant. Thomas H. White: Affiliate Chapter Director Spend the twenty-five cents for the stamp. Members have very few duties, Dwight Tubb: Research and Education but this is one of them. DO IT!
