Dear MCOA Members,

RE: Revision To 2010 Slate Of Candidates

We are currently conducting our annual election of MCOA Board members.   As part of this process,  you  have already received the slate of candidates submitted by the MCOA Nominating Committee. 

This is to inform you that the previously nominated candidate for the office of Vice President, Dolly Moore, has requested to be removed from the slate of candidates due to some unexpected circumstances beyond her control.

The MCOA Nominating Committee has submitted Dr. William Newman (who lives in PA)  as the new candidate for the office of Vice President.

If any MCOA member wishes to place themselves in nomination, please refer to the second paragraph in the previous Election of Officers notice; “call for nominations from the floor”, with a deadline of April 1, 2010.

 If you have any questions, please contact the MCOA  Corresponding Secretary, Dolly Moore, at millcreekx@mchsi.com.
