First, I want to thank each of you, for your support, and most importantly, taking the time to write to the Board of Directors, to express your opinion, on what I believed to be an important fundamental issue, of preserving the members right, to vote and elect those individuals, whom they believed would best represent their views and the best interest of Kansas City Barbeque Society.
During the past month we received in excess of 250 e-mails and a petition with over 100 signatures, expressing their desire to maintain the right of the members, to vote for the candidate of their choice without restriction.
After a lengthy debate at the Board Meeting last evening and a procedural vote to stop debate, which was not approved, the author of the motion, the second of the motion, withdrew the motion ending debate and concluding this matter before the Board.
I am please to inform you, that the Board listened to its members. This was a distraction from BBQ and we are pleased that we can put this issue behind us, and move on to the issues of sanctioning the greatest BBQ Competitions in the world.
Thank you again for your support and your time.
Sincerely yours,
Merl Whitebook
