Today was the neighborhood council election. Without knowing what I did, I accepted the position as the Appointed Election Chair of Palms Neighborhood Council a few months ago. I had no idea what an Election Chair, or it’s duties, was back then, but it’s pretty easy and straight forward; make sure all the candidates are behaving and it’s fair play for everyone.
I was also responsible for the volunteers on election day so I picked up food from Simpang Asia to feed everyone.
The results are in!
Not a great turn out. I am actually a little surprised not more people showed up to vote. We need more people involved in the neighborhood council! The problem though, is that no one knows what the neighborhood council is and what it does. Outreach need to do a better job, but it’s not easy… you are either interested and want to be involved or you’re not.
Tired volunteers having a well earned drink after everything is wrapped up! I’ve had a ton of fun doing this, but I’m glad all the hard work is over. It’s time for a breather and enjoy the summer!
