I was talking with a neighbor today who by his admission had voted for other than Barack Obama. This neighbor knows that our politics don't agree, and that his candidate didn't win, but he still has a much more positive outlook today than he did six months ago. When asked why, he said that he was happy he voted, happy that so many other people participated in the election process and voted, and that President elect Obama appears to be gathering together a seasoned, talented, and yet new group of cabinet members. My neighbor feels that the change that our country seems to need has indeed begun.
Now granted, the upcoming DWAA election is a much smaller thing than our national elections, but if this organization is important to you - or has the potential to be important to you - I hope you take the time to read about the candidates and vote. As we have all heard during this past national election, every vote counts. That applies to our much smaller election, too.
When that envelope from DWAA appears in your mailbox, please don't toss it away. Take your time, read about the candidates, make some phone calls or emails to clarify issues or points, and then vote!
Thanks!

I want to emphasize Liz's comment - please use your vote! Do so wisely after researching the candidates (check your October newsletter from the mail or online in the forums at the webbsite). Unfortunately we haven't figured out a way to click & treat you for voting, but we will keep trying.
