[Businessmtg] Fwd: Service Positions

[Steve Rankin]

Hi Sandie,

My records show that the Newcomer Committee began working on this project on
April 18, 2017. That's just 4 days short of 6 months; something I don't
think we need to quibble about. By the time Kristen would be elected, she'd
have the full 6 months on the Newcomer Committee. 

Hugs,
Steve

Based on your reply then Kristen does not qualify this Business Meeting to
allow her name to stand as the Newcomer Committee is not quite 5 months.
