James,

In my tenure as President, I advised against the CCA board publically endorsing any candidate as I felt it was up to the membership to decide on their own.

This type of behavior does nothing but polarize our Club. The last time the CCA BOD did this action was when the BOD wanted to remove Sheldon Smith.

I learned that lesson not to interfere in our elections. Furthermore, I have not sought the endorsement of the SNCCC BoD which I am President of because I

hope the membership will understand what I am all about and make their own decisions.

I have and will with all my campaign statements show what I stand for and believe is the right course of action to improve our Club. I have stated many areas

that need improvement for our great Club.

I urge all Club members to read all the campaign statements that have come out as well as new ones to decide on their own which candidate is best suited for the

position and not be swayed by anyone else.

This is not a popularity contest.
