the Chapter, but to discourage a flood of unsolicited email to our
Members, and to avoid negative or selective distributions that
may be viewed as divisive.

campaigns. If candidates hold social events, the entire Chapter must be
invited to attend.
Note: Campaign strategy meetings are not considered social events with
regard to guest list requirements.

All campaigning must end by midnight, April 18, 2011.
