 Hi, all,

I'd like to urge those of you on the sidelines to run, please.  

All levels of office can delegate aspects of their tasks as desired, so 
the load can be spread around.

This group can have substantial impact with a small amount of oversight. 
And we all benefit.

So one last plea from me. Please consider running. Self-nominations are 
encouraged.

Joe
