We held our election of officers for the college Christian Club yesterday. Only one problem: the bylaws call for five officers (the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and member-at-large) and guess how many people turned up? Yep. Five.
Here's how it went. Hope nominated me for president. I opened my mouth to nominate Christine for president, but Christine seconded Hope's nomination and poof, I was elected. Then Christine nominated Hope for VP, I seconded the nomination and we moved on to secretary. Hope asked Christine, last semester's secretary, "Did you have fun being secretary?"
"Yep."
"Great, you're in."
Mary volunteered to remain treasurer, and I called across the room, "Hey Alex, wanna be member-at-large?"
"What's that?"
"Basically you're the tiebreaker." He acquiesced, and then we all were officers.
No wonder Jillian, the administrator, wants to look at our bylaws to see if we really need that many officers.
Oh, and every time I've spoken to Hope since, she's called me "El Presidente." Har har.
