Although paper copies of the Bayou Banner will no longer be mailed bimonthly to members, club bylaws require ballots to be mailed in December. Therefore, a brief paper version of the December-January issue of the Bayou Banner will be mailed to members.

That issue will have ballots for election of members of the Executive Committee of the Houston Regional Group of the Sierra Club. Candidates can be suggested by any member of the club. Until a Nominating Committee Chair has been established, you can submit suggestions for candidates and petitions to Art Browning (art.browning@gmail.com, phone 281-728-6327) or George Batten (bayoubanner@gmail.com). Petitions for candidacy must be received by November 1, 201 4 for publishing in the Bayou Banner December issue.
