I am very sorry that after the elections of new officers were concluded, no one, not former team members of the executive committee, nor new members of the executive committee, nor any of the voters present (me included) thought about thanknig the two true gentlemen who have dedicated their time and energy to the division for the past year, Andrey and August.
In the preoccupation of squeezing the democratic process before the start of the tournament, as soon as the elections were concluded, everyone disappeared quickly from the 'scene of the crime.' I apologized to both the following day.
I hope others will join in expressing sincere gratitude to Andrey and August for their contributions to the Division. Just compare where we are now, and where we were one year ago. We have a long way to go, but without the work of these two gentlemen, we would still be in the darken ages of incompetence and apathy.
The passage of Proposition 15. -- which I suspect few bothered to read and understand -- gives the first clear sign that those ugly times are over.
Thank you Andrey! Thank you August! I really appreciate your contributions and efforts.
Giorgio Bassa

Many thanks to Andrey and August. I think we would be wrong to not tap them as sources for leadership, guidance and opinion throught the year as well.

You know, I don't think I gave the matter a second thought, something I now feel ashamed about. I like both men, (although I bet Andre doesn't think so) and they did do a fine job. I wouldn't have had a problem at all with them both continuing in office. Gentlemen you both have my sincere thanks, and I will tell you so the next time we see each other.

I'm with the Captain, Giorgio's post made me feel ashamed of myself.

Andrey and August deserve more thanks than is being suggested. Don't forget that their terms of office don't end until July 31st, and you can expect them to continue to dedicate their time and energy in official capacities until then.
