MONTH OF DUES FOR 5 LUCKY FAMILIES
Dear Members:
On
November 26th, the 2008 TMEC Board of Directors communicated to you its intention to nominate candidates for the
2009 Board of Directors election process. We’re pleased to announce that
the initial nomination process is complete. Just
below, you will find two additional methods by which a voting member may be nominated as a candidate for the Board of Directors.
1. Three voting members, currently representing approximately 2% of the voting membership, may nominate
candidates for directorship by filing a petition with an Officer of the Club by midnight, January 12, 2009. The petition must
be signed by each of the three petitioners. Thereafter, the Secretary will add
the names of those candidates to the ballot.
2. Any voting member present at the meeting described below, in person or by proxy, may place candidates
in nomination.
Please consider this to be official notification that an annual meeting of membership
will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2009. The meeting will be held in the Multi-Purpose
Room of the Community Recreation Center located at 30875 Rancho Vista Road, Temecula, CA (951-694-6410). The meeting will begin promptly at 7:00 PM.
Members
eligible to vote are adult parents or adult legal guardians living with swimmers who participate in amateur competitive swimming
activity conducted by TMEC. Regardless of how many swimmers reside in a household,
only a total of four individual votes may be cast per household, each of which must be cast for a different candidate. Please remember that you will cast your votes for individuals only, not necessarily
the positions that they will eventually hold. The positions that will be filled
as a result of your vote are the Dues Director, Registration Director, Public Relations Director, and the Apparel Director. This election does not include the President, Vice President, Secretary, and
Treasurer. Individuals to fill those positions are eventually selected by the
four new Directors that you’ll have already voted into office.
The
current, alphabetized ballot of candidates is presented in red
just below.

If
you are unable to attend the meeting:
Along
with the full name of the voting member and the name(s) of the minor swimmer(s) residing with that voting member, please cast
your vote(s) in an e-mail to Claire Holcomb at claireholcomb@verizon.net. The deadline for e-mail voting is midnight, Tuesday, January 20, 2009…..five
days following the membership meeting at the CRC. This delay will provide ample
time to make you aware of any additional candidates that were nominated by either of the procedures described in #1 and #2
above, and for you to respond with your vote. Whether or not there are
additional candidates, a notification will be posted on the TMEC website and an e-mail sent to each member family.
If
you are able to attend the meeting, the agenda will consist of the following items:
1. A voting member election of the 2009 Board of Directors.
2. A report by the Treasurer regarding the overall financial condition of TMEC. This presentation is informational only and no specific action is required on the part of the voting membership.
3. A discussion entitled “What’s after JO’s”
-- Families of swimmers, ranging from Stroke School thru Senior Development,
will receive a heads-up regarding what may lie in their swimmer’s future. Often
times, families think no further ahead than the vaunted JO’s. There is
much, much more and we’re anxious to describe that progression.
Thank
you in advance for your willingness to assist in this important process.
TMEC
Board of Directors
