03 October 2024 - Monthly Club Meeting, Matamoros Cafe and Cantina, I-10 Access Road, San Antonio, TX. Elections for next year's club officers are going to be held at the November 2024 monthly club meeting. It is vitally important the four club officer positions have candidates standing for election.

They must either declare their intent to stand for election, or a club member must nominate them, or anyone else, to be a candidate for election. Current nominees are:

President Cathy Nelson

Vice President Miguel Rosario (will gladly step aside if anyone else declares for this position)

Secretary <no candidate as of 26 Sep 2024>

Treasurer <no candidate as of 26 Sep 2024.

Nominations will be accepted by e-mail addressed to the President at president@samustang.com. Nominees will also be accepted at the 03 October 2024 monthly club meeting, when called for. Now is the time for all good members to consider stepping up and tossing their hat in the ring.
