Glenside Leadership Nominations

At our next business meeting, we will likely accept nominations for secretary, treasurer, vice-president, and president.

If you want to run for office, you will need to get your name put up for a nomination.

One way is to have a friend nominate you, and then you can accept or reject the offer.

It is good to vote out the incumbents. I think we all could use a break.

You can bring new ideas and new energy.

You can suggest we hold a CoCoFEST! in Hawaii; Kokomo Island; Kokomo, Indiana; Hurricane, Virginia; or Niagara Falls.

You can suggest that we hold the CoCoFEST! on the same day as “Talk Like a Pirate Day!”

You can let all Motorola 6809 microprocessor assembly language programmers have free admission to the CoCoFEST! for life.

So, I want to encourage you to start planning.

You may want to volunteer to write an article, investigate low-cost venues, plan picnics, do research and such, then go for it. How about a picnic in your back yard? How about a outing? How about a mini-CoCoFEST! How about a TRS-80 MC-10 FEST! at the library in Elgin, IL or West Dundee, IL?

If you have a good reliable internet, smartphone, or regular phone service, then you can attend the meetings remotely. If you do not, then now you have a reason to upgrade your service.

Glenside 2021-22 Elections are Open!

I would like to thank everyone who joined our September virtual meeting and participated in officer nominations. The nomination process seemed to go very smoothly and we quickly ran through the list of nominations. I also appreciate those who were nominated for the various positions and wish each person in a contested race the best as voting opens.

Concerning voting, GCCC conducts polling virtually, using tandylist.com, and each member can log in to https://www.tandylist.com/ and then click on the “Vote” icon at the top to cast your ballot. The polls will stay open until 6:30 PM Central on October 21, 2021, as we prepare for the monthly meeting where we will announce the new slate of officers. We do have some uncontested positions this year, but I am told “Abraham (Ab) Stain” could stage an upset.

  • President
    • Jim Brain (incumbent)
  • Vice President
    • John Mark Mobley (incumbent)
