<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">Section Elections:</b> Soon we will be having electronic elections. The interest and enthusiasm in the section has increased so much that we can have competitive elections for the two open council representative seats.
I hope that when you receive the message about electronic voting you will decide to cast your ballot and in this way help shape the future of the section. Thank you to all of the people who have volunteered to be candidates.</span></p>
