to share, as there is a change to the slate – specifically, the President
position -- for the upcoming annual election of WECA officers to be held at our
general membership meeting this Thursday, May 19th at 7pm. Please
see the note immediately below from current WECA President Noreen Bryan with
additional detail. The full agenda for the meeting is also provided below. We

Message from current WECA President Noreen Bryan
I am writing to you to
announce a change in the Slate of Officers for the West End Citizen's
Association (WECA) for the next year.
There is a new nominee for the office of President. All other nominees remain unchanged. This
past week Jacques Gelin, who had been unanimously approved in April by the WECA
Executive Board to be its nominee for President, advised me that his
commitments to his family preclude him from serving as President next year. An emergency meeting of the WECA Executive
Board was held on Wednesday, May 11, 2016.
At the meeting, the Board expressed its deep appreciation of Jacques and
his long service to our West End neighborhood.
Jacques will continue as a Block Captain and member of the Board working
on issues of preserve the neighborhood and Rockville. Before the meeting, the WECA nominating
committee met with former Mayor Larry Giammo who indicated that he would be
willing to serve as President of WECA, if nominated. The Board was very pleased with this report
and unanimously approved Larry Giammo as
its nominee for President. Please
note that this information is a revision to the Slate of Officers shown on the
cover of the newsletter, which was published before this change.
Therefore, the proposed
slate reflecting this new change for the position of President is:
President – Larry Giammo
Vice President – Andrew
Sellman
Treasurer – Dennis Cain
Recording Secretary – Jen
Timmick
Corresponding Secretary –
Jane Pontius
I truly hope to see you
at the WECA General Meeting and Election on Thursday, May 19th.
