I would like to remind you to take part in the current RAW Board election, and send in your ballot as soon as possible. Although most positions are uncontested, there is one seat that IS being contested by two qualified candidates, and it is important that we get as many responses from RAW members as possible. Ballots must be received by Jan 14, 2008, and mail to Guam will take 7-10 days, possibly longer during the busy holiday season. Why not take a moment now, mark your ballot, and send it in? If you did not receive a ballot, it is most likely due to my not having an updated address for you in the database. It is probably too late for me to snail mail you a new election ballot and have enough time to vote and return it by Jan 14th, but I can email you the ballot, which you can print out, then vote and snail mail it back. Give thanks to all those who have already sent in their votes. Ever Forward Tom "Jah Son" Pearson R.A.W. #33 [2] *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= *=*=*=*=*=*=*= >From: Ambassador David [Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide #5] Subject: Reggae Runnings......
