[TheForge] ABANA election postmark deadline extended until Septimber 25

[Rome Hutchings]

All, apologies for the late arrival of your Election Edition of the Anvil's
Ring.  This is due to a missed communication from the Board to the
Editor/Publisher on the format of the election/by-laws.  The cost of
purchasing additional pages versus a special insert was a $2,000.00
savings, so the Board chose the additional pages scheme.  This caused
the Eritor to reformat the page layouts significantly, and thus the delay.

On the bright side of this issue, the Board is extending the postmark
deadline from September 15th until Septebmer 25th.  This will allow
you the time to review the candidate statements and by-laws revision.

Please get your votes in the mail no later than September 25.  This edition
is more than an election for new board officers as there is a complete 
by-laws
revision included.  Give the by-laws revision your consideration for 
approval
and vote for any five of the candidates listed on your ballot.

If you wish to help, please feel free to contact fellow members who may not
have email.

On behalf of your ABANA Board of Directors

Thanks,
