Meeting Nights

On Monday, July 14th, 2003, QMUG/LA will hold its 6th Star Search meeting where we will put forth the motion of whether we should keep our meetings on the 2nd Monday of each month or move them to the 2nd Tuesday of each month.  Historically, we only counted votes from those physically present.  Because of the nature of this motion, those members who cannot be physically present could not vote, so for the first time in six years we will be allowing absentee voting via e-mail. So what do you think?  QMUG/LA has been meeting on the 2nd Monday of each month for the past nine years.  In this past year, we have been receiving a lot of feedback from members who say they cannot attend our meetings because of other meetings or scheduling conflicts.  Should we maintain our position that no matter what evening we meet, we’ll conflict w/ someone, or should we, after nine years, move our meetings one evening over, or do you not care one way or the other?

Keep our meetings on the 2nd Monday	Move our meetings to the 2nd Tuesday	Do Either
Vote here if: • you cannot meet on the 2nd Tues. • you feel we will conflict for someone no matter what evening we meet.	Vote here if: • you cannot meet on the 2nd Mon. (Gay Men’s Chorus, LAPUG, etc.) • you feel those meetings are more important than ours.	Vote here if: • you cannot decide, don’t care, etc. • you voted for Perot, Nader, etc.
