>
>Fellow ARRL members, I am honored that you have allowed me to serve you 
>and Amateur Radio as your Great Lakes Division Director the past three 
>years.  I appreciate your confidence in me and ask you to re-elect me to 
>three more years of progress.
>
>Why vote for me?  I’ve fulfilled every promise I’ve made to you and have 
>proven my leadership.  You don’t need to guess “what” I am.  My work on 
>your behalf includes:
>
>- Through my monthly "Weaver's Words" newsletter, I continually seek your 
>advice on key issues, inform you of the “full story” behind these issues 
>and demonstrate my belief that you are "The Reason ARRL Is."  I kept my 
>word to you.  Incidentally, my votes on the Board have been completely 
>consistent with the wishes expressed to me by the overwhelming majority of you.
>
>- Work by the Board, Staff and local leadership resulted in victories by 
>Division amateurs in nearly each instance our right to install antenna 
>structures was challenged.  I kept my word to you.
>
>- ARRL Staff has begun a unique, detailed project to reach the pool of 
>non-hams that will restore growth to the Amateur Radio Service.  The 
>results of the project will be recruiting new and younger amateurs, and 
>keeping them active in our great Service.  I kept my word to you.
>
>- My motion that established the ARRL Grassroots Legislative Action 
>Program is effectively promoting the needs of Amateur Radio.  I kept my 
>word to you.
>
>The future offers unforeseen challenges.  Key among these challenges is 
>action resulting from FCC’s decision to minimize its involvement in 
>Amateur Radio.  I want to work on the Board to develop strategies that to 
>enable us to achieve the flexibility we need to guide our great Service 
>through coming successful years.
>
>If re-elected, I will renew my commitment to resolving members’ concerns,
