VOTE – ARRL

Dear ARRL member,

Email messages are being sent to members indicating that the online voting site for the 2023 ARRL Great Lakes Division Election is now open. The message will include instructions to access candidate statements, the ballot, and to vote.

A third party was selected by the ARRL Ethics and Elections Committee to conduct the election: Election Services Co. (ESC) of Melville, New York. This same company conducted ARRL elections in 2022. Some background about the effort to include an option to use electronic ballots can be found in the October 2022 issue of QST magazine, page 63, in the article “Modernizing the ARRL Division Director and Vice Director Elections.”

Please watch your email for the message from Election Services Co.

The email message will include the following header:

From: ARRLElection@mg.ElectionServicesCorp.com

Be sure to check your Inbox, and folders for spam and junk, to make sure you do not miss this message.

Tip: if the link included in your message from Election Services Co. does not work, try copying the web address into your web browser to load the page.

Should you need any assistance with voting, please contact the helpdesk for Election Services Co.:

Telephone 866-720-4357

email ARRLElection@ElectionServicesCorp.com

You will also be receiving a paper ballot in a few weeks, which you can use if you prefer to vote through the mail. Please note that only one vote per member will be counted.

Net Night at the Club Site – This Thursday, September 28th, 6:30 PM

That will be this Thursday – September 28th. Plan on doors opening around 6:00 PM and we’ll close up between 9:30 – 10:00 PM. I’m declaring this PCARS “Mini-Fest” night. If you’ve got a few things you would like to move on to a new home, bring them along and set them up on a table – we’ve got the Radio Room, the “social” room, and Bay 3, so we can accommodate several sellers (Just don’t bring too much). Even if you don’t have stuff to sell, stuff a few dollars $$$ in your pockets and come on over and check it out – you might find just what you were looking for!

I’ll be bringing along all the fixings for root beer floats just in case you need a snack! Hope to see you there.

73,
