[Ofsrdc] Federation Presidential Appointment and the May State Meeting

[PumaTimid at aol.com]

Dear Marilyn,
I have received two emails in the last couple of months that I have cut and  
pasted at the end of this email. Due to the content of such that I have put in 
 bold, italics, and underlined, I have the following thoughts and ask for  
the following motion.
After the January state meeting and the subsequent emails and letters that  
have followed, I feel it necessary to ask that the following motion be added to 
 the May agenda. This motion should come just after the voting of the  
acceptance or refusal of Jim Roger's resignation. 
 
I move that Marilyn Schmit move up to assume the remainder, less than  half, 
of the current term of presidency as the federation president, and  then start 
her own term of presidency as of the Sept 2007 meeting. 
 
Discussion: As this was the way it was presented to the delegates at the  
January meeting and then voted and passed that this is what we, as the delegates  
agreed should take place for the succession of vice-presidents to move up and 
 fill vacant positions above them, I feel that this is appropriate according 
to  that vote and the reference in our constitution to follow the Robert's  
Rules of Order.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
Ilana Widders, EEAC State Delegate

As the presiding chairman (per the  Federation by-laws) of the Oregon 
Federation, 
it is with pleasure that I announce the appointment of  Larry Reetz (Carol) 
to fill the remaining term of the vacant position of  President of the Oregon 
Federation of Square and Round Dance  Clubs. 

Larry was Federation president in 2000-2001 and has held  offices from area 
delegate to parliamentarian and the offices that lead to the  presidency.  He 
worked on the Portland convention in 2005 and is a trusted  member of the 
Emerald Empire Area Council.  Larry and Carol  are Christians and thought long and 
hard about their decision to take on the  partial term of President.  They 
prayed and consulted  friends they trusted.  I am grateful for their service and  
will support them in any way that I can.  I am hoping that  you will also.   
His appointment will be voted on at the May Federation  meeting in Central 
Oregon to be held in Bend.  The vote will take  place as soon as the meeting is 
called to order and once approved, Larry will  handle the rest of the May and 
July meetings and the meeting in September  through old business.  At this 
time, Larry is undecided if  he will take on the past president position, but 
there is still time for him  to ponder that decision.  
If there are questions, please ask and I, or Tim Roberts,  Federation 
Parliamentarian, will be glad to answer them to the best of our  abilities. 
Thank you,
Marilyn (Ron)  Schmit
1st Vice President
Oregon  Federation_______________________________________________

There has been a certain amount of  confusion over the date of the May
state meeting in Bend.  The Central  Oregon Council should be sending out
further information, but as of this  time, here is what I know.

The meeting will be the weekend of May 19 and  20.  The meetings on
Saturday May 19 will be at the Pine Forest Grange,  just at the north
end of Bend.  The state meeting on Sunday May 20 will  be at the Eastern
Star Grange, to the east of town.  Following the  meeting, there will
be a benefit dance for the Federation's youth scholarship  fund at the 
Pine Forest Grange.

Proposed agenda items  should be sent to Marilyn Schmit at  
marilynron at msn.com.
