Subject: GFWC Florida Recording Secretary Vacancy

Date: September 10 2012

Dear Fellow GFWC Florida members,

I regret to inform you that we have received the resignation of GFWC Florida Recording Secretary Michele Abramo to be effective immediately. Although the GFWC Executive Commitee must vote to accept this resignation, practically speaking, we need to take action to fill this position at Fall Board.

The bylaws (Article VI Officers, Section 4 B Vacancies) specify that a vacancy in the recording secretary position be filled by a majority vote of the Executive Committee (EC) at a called meeting of the EC within 30 days of the receipt of the vacancy. Since the Executive Committee is already scheduled to meet before the Fall Board on Thursday, September 27, this matter will be taken up at that time. The EC choice will then be ratified by the Board of Directors at the Fall Board of Directors meeting on Friday, September 28.

We are encouraging any member who is interested in performing this position to please contact any member of the Executive Committee on or before September 25. Members who are interested in this position must fulfill the following criteria (See Article VI, Officers, Section 2 Eligibility D. )

1. be a member in good standing of an GFWC Florida woman's club.
2. have served a full term as president of a per capita dues paying GFWC Florida club.
3. have served a minimum of two terms on the GFWC Florida board of directors.

If you have any questions about this matter, feel free to contact President Pat Zazzarino at pizazz4@juno.com or on 904-249-4232.

Pat Zazzarino
GFWC Florida President
