As there were fewer than five declared candidates for the 2018-20 term, you will be seated for a three-year term beginning January 1 without an election.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your willingness to serve bridge and the unit in this way. We look forward to serving with you.</div><div><br></div><div>By tradition, the unit board hosts a holiday party as its final meeting of the year, usually around mid-December. Various officials and volunteers are invited, as are incoming board members and their partners/guests. It's a nice way for current and new board members to enjoy social time and express appreciation to others. We hope you and your partner/guest will be able to attend. More info to come in the months ahead as the board plans out this event.</div><div><br></div><div>We will ask David Wright to include in <i>The Sun </i>newsletter an article about the unit board election and the incoming class of board members. Please send a head & shoulders or similar pic that can be included in the article.</div><div><br></div><div>If you would like any info or insights into the board's current activities, please just let us know.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tim</div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
