If you haven't taken a moment to vote in the poll regarding the AYA convention date restrictions, please take a moment to do so. You can find the poll here: http://ayaforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=185 Remember, to vote you need to be logged into the ayaforum.org site (not just the aya.org site). For more details, see below. To view the current results of the poll, you do not need to be logged in. Please contact me if you have any problems with the poll. If you are an AYA regional director and haven't replied to me already, please let me know that you were able to forward the message below to the members of your groups. While I'm sure many members are on one of the two open forum mailing lists, I do want to ensure that as many AYA members as possible get the chance to vote in the poll. If you need assistance, contact me directly and I'll forward on the information I have available. Thanks again for your participation! -Mike ------ Michael Boyd '76 AA5A On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 7:36 AM, Mike Boyd wrote: > Subject: AYA Annual Membership Meeting and Convention Dates > > Hello AYA Members, > > Recently the subject of expanding or removing the restriction on the > dates in which the membership meeting and annual convention can be > held has received a lot of discussion on the Grumman Gang mailing > list.
