Number of ballots sent (one to each member) . . . . . . . . 1,122


Now I realize that these results do not mean much because it is not a difinitive score result however using a secret point scoring formula I have created results. These results do not create an endorsement I will be making endorsements in early May or late April.

The Well Qualified candidates are Frank Daly, Richard Capelli & Greg Mallon
The Qualified candidates are Michael Farrell, Tom Gannon & Mary Brennan
Not Recomended at this time Scott Shields

Web Sites are on the right hand side if you do not see a candidate on the list then the candidate either does not have a web site or you are not thinking outside the box
