Re: Popularity Poll

[RUTHBB@aol.com]

Hi Don, 
 
I'm doing the tally for the SJI Popularity Poll, which should close in a  
couple of weeks. That society gets the results first. 
 
The ballot is sent along with the summer copy of The Review.

Hi  friends, 
I am wondering if anyone out there has gotten a recent bulletin  or ballots 
for the SPopularity Poll.. 
As RVP for Region 4, of course, I  must keep track of the results. Don't 
know where they ballot is? 
Can  anyone clarify. 
Don

Hey Cheryl, 

Thanks for the clarification so Photo Contest  won't be a "pain in the 
neck". 

Have a great day!
