Email for 2018 nominations went out – see above for deadlines and details. A follow up email will go out around Dec 2nd to start getting votes in.
Calendars for 2018 – We will not be doing calendars for 2018 – we give away too many to make any money on them and the desire is not there from the members. We will look into it for 2019.
