Dear Dr. Ross,
This is to announce my candidacy to you for our upcoming election.
Once again.
I hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of
Coordinator of Northern California CHADD in 2005.
This letter to you is public. You'll find it on my website:
www.chaddnorcal.com
which is also my candidate's statement: all of 17 letters and 2 periods
(please note that ".com" on the end for the correct spelling).
By the way, candidate's website addresses are published in all elections.
And for good reason.
I will look forward to seeing it published to our membership this year.
In fact, you could publish it in that 'Attention' Magazine of yours to
make sure this time. Including this letter to you if you
wish.
Anyway, I have a slight problem. I need to know if I'll be
required to step down next year. Could you kindly tell me what the
"election team not running for office" has told you as to who
won our last two elections? Because if I've won them both, your
Bylaws will require me to step down next year. Maybe Cathi Brown
could help you. She's a Notary Public and was the only voting
member not running for office who attended our election July 12, 2003.
Could you kindly tell me what she's told CHADD as to who won it?
By the way, I had Jury Duty last October. And just realised it a
few weeks later. A Notary Public is an "Officer of the
Court". And after that election she had instructed me to
publish what I had witnessed.
Also, could you please tell me who the "election team not running
for office" was at our last 2004 election held in Berkeley?
Cathi told me she'd be attending. When I suggested they wait for
her, Mike Hinckley told us all that she had cancelled out.
And there's another item you might be able to enlighten me on.
I've been curious as to what had happened to CHADD's Library here.
So I asked at the end of a meeting here a year or so ago. And
heard from one of your officers quite forthrightly "It's in my
garage!". Mike Hinckley remained silent. I understand
CHADD's Risograph printer is also there. But I've never seen
either of them.
Would you kindly provide me with authentic proof of CHADD's ownership of
"the Risograph" Mike Hinckley mentioned to me once while at
her house. Something like a copy of the "bill of sale"
(or similar document) showing the Risograph's price at its date of
purchase and to whom it was sold. I gather it was used to print up
the ballots for our 2003 election. Which required the purchase of
some ink for it at the time. Sadly, I missed Lew that day who had
apparently left earlier into rush hour traffic for that long trip back
to San Francisco.
You see, if I am elected, I will need to know these things. For I
will have custody over CHADD's property here. And I wish to know
if my custody of it will be legal and proper. Then again, I may
already be elected in which case I will dearly need to know all this and
soon!
Sincerely,
Geoffrey Mangers
p.s: do you know how to contact Lisa Alexander who used to head our
group here? Before Lew took over in '99. Would you tell her
I very much enjoyed her brief leadership of our group when I first
joined. Before she left.
p.p.s: I'm curious, could you tell me when you became CHADD's CEO?
p.p.p.s: enclosed please find my membership renewal check for $45.
