Greetings TSOM Members,
   
  Fall is (finally!) in the air and another tango filled year is   drawing to a close.    
  That means it's time to begin   the process of TSOM Board Member elections.  
  The openings for 2018 are   President, Vice President and 3 to 5 Members at Large.  
  The Board Members with   expiring terms include: Gregory Bringman, Scott Chase, 
  Terri Davis, Suzanne Doyle, Paul Lohman, and Ray Shudy.  Scott Chase has already   
  agreed to re-run, and we are hopeful that one or two additional   current members will 
  also decide to re-run.
   
  The TSOM Nominating Committee chair is Fran Howley, please feel free   to contact 
  her with any questions you might have at franmhowley@gmail.com or 612-869-8971.    
  Fran would also love to hear   from you if you are interested, or know someone who 
  would be interested in participating on the TSOM Board.  Qualifications to be   included
  on the ballot include; Love of Tango, TSOM Membership, and active   participation in 
  the local Tango scene.    Organizational and computer skills are helpful, but not required.  
  The Board meetings are held   once a month in a central Minneapolis location, and 
  Board Members share the responsibility to host TSOM   Milongas.
   
  Please consider giving back to the tango community and to TSOM.    We need creative 
  ideas, enthusiasm, commitment for the 2 year term, and willingness to   help out at events.   
   
  Fran and the Nominating Committee members will be contacting   individuals in the next 
  several weeks to talk about Board openings.  Please take these   calls as a compliment 
  and give our request serious consideration.
   
  Thank you,
  Terry Holten
  TSOM Secretary
