Hello Blues Lovers,
Well, it's almost that time again, voting of officers. Those of us who have been in office for this past term have been very happy with all that happened this year. Blues Fest and Blues Week were a great success. Congrats to the Baton Rouge Blues Foundation for all they did this past year also.
We will have our meeting and voting on Thursday, July 9th at Phil Brady's. The reason for the change from the 1st Thursday to 2nd is Manship Theater is recognizing Louisiana Songwriters, of which our very own Larry Garner is one. So we plan to be at that event to support a great friend and bluesman. The poster is attached and I believe the cover is $25.00. Please try to attend and show some love to Larry.
Here is the ballot as of today:
Brigitte Reulet President
Ken Tuminello Vice-President
Dusty Kling Treasurer
Honey Tuminello Secretary
Beverly Warren Secretary
Jack Moore Board Member at Large
David Couvillion Board Member at Large
Kricket Perrilloux Board Member at Large
As you can see, we have 2 people running for Secretary, so there will be a vote on that position. If someone puts their name in for any other office, we will have those voted on as well.
We also have 3 people running for Board Member at Large, 2 current and one new. Let me explain the Board Member at Large for those who are unfamiliar with this position. This person offers information, support and votes on everything brought before the board. We have 3 Board Members at Large on the board, 2 voted into office and one appointed by the board. Which means that the 2 with the most votes hold those offices and the 3rd will be appointed by the board.
Please don't forget that you must be a paid in full member to run for office, vote and you must be at the meeting to vote. No proxy votes or email votes will be honored.
I hope we have a good turn out for both the Louisiana Songwriters event on July 2nd and our meeting and voting on July 9th. come out and show your love for the Blues in Baton Rouge!!
Keep Dancin',
Brigitte Reulet
