[board] Secretary Vacancy

[Gary Denison]

Okay!  I will reach out to her, explain the situation and see if she would
still be interested.  I will emphasize that IF we get someone who already
qualified (member one year) then we will have to go in accordance with our
By-Laws and put that person on the ballot.

Thanks,
Gary
