kind

Hi my name is Linda Haas Davenport and I'm the County Archivist and CC
for
the Marion Co AR USGenWeb Project. I was also a member of the Election
Study
Committee and I'd appreciate a scant 2 minutes of your time.
The Election Study Committee spent a very long and hard 7 weeks crafting
the
"rules" for a Standing Election Committee that would operate outside of
the
politics of the USGenWeb Project. This committee will be representing
every
single individual of the project and will not be directed by or under
the
control of the Advisory Board or any individual Advisory Board member,
State
Co-ordinator, special interest group or any group with an ax to grind -
because this is what so many project volunteers said they wanted.
You may or may not know that this committee has 2 spots reserved for
volunteers from the special projects. I'm sending this message to you to
ask
that you consider volunteering for this committee.
For those of you who "hate" the politics of the Project but would still
like
to help out, beyond your own web page(s), or one of those who feel your
voice and/or vote isn't important - here is your chance to make a
difference. I know that this time of year is extremely busy for everyone
-
but the work doesn't begin until after the first of the year. And, time
is
running out to volunteer - I urge you to please, please take the time to
read the goals of the Election Committee at:
http://www.timmweb.pair.com/esc/report.html
And volunteer by sending an e-mail to **Both** Tim Stowell
tstowell(a)chattanooga.net, National Coordinator AND
Holly Timm, Representative at Large hollyft(a)bright.net
by December 22, 2000.
My 2 minutes is up - thank you so much for you time and your
consideration.
Linda
