Hi Randy,
If it is based on last falls meeting then Anne would vote, but if it is
current, then I would be the one voting as clergy for New Creation and Anne
would be voting as retired and the Dean. I think she gets two votes, right?
(Ha- just kidding.)

Voting:
Cristina Beauchemin, clergy
New Creation
cristinab@newcreationchurch-sj.org

These are the lay if you already have their info, great.

Lay Female
Annette Howell

Lay Male
Jay Everson

For clarification purposes, because they are not clear in your first email.
You are ONLY collecting voters information due today.

You will then request nominations, which I see no deadline.

Please let me know if I understand this correctly, and if this helps anyone
else not reading your posts. : )

Pr Cristina
