JALT OGM Voting

[Malcolm Prentice]

Dear Yokohama JALT members,

Just a quick request for those of you who have not yet submitted absentee ballots for the JALT National OGM this weekend. 

We are still short a few for quorum, and without your approval, decisions can't be made on motions such as the upcoming confirmation of the membership discount for seniors.

You should have received a personalised email from "vo...@jalt.org" which contains a link that fills in your details for you.

If you cannot find it (maybe it's in your spam box) then you can visit this page and fill in your name/number/chapter manually: http://jalt.org/ogm-ballot-2014-01 

Thanks for your help, and we look forward to seeing you at the next Yokohama meeting, which is......

In addition, attendees will have a chance to try self-transcription and participate in a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of using self-transcription in their own teaching context. As cell phones will be used during the workshop, please ensure that your phone has recently been charged before you attend.
