PDGA affiliate club membership stuff?



If there is time...For those that have PDGA ballots, I'd like you to bring them to the meeting and let me talk about the constitution changes and the yes/no vote. Not very long, it'd only take a couple of minutes. BTW, if for some reason you are not renewing your membership you can still vote. Last year about 500 PDGA members voted, so YOUR vote does count. In fact, I probably only need about 14 write-in votes to be elected state coordinator. I use that figure just to illustrate how much of a difference you can make by voting in the PDGA elections.
