Coming from someone who is running to be the leader and president of this club, I completely fail to see why side banter like this ( that gets send out to everyone ) is in any way constructive or a necessary addition to ongoing conversation and debate.  In my opinion this is nothing but subtle cheap shots and making a joke of the very serious issue that is facing our club.

Jay, I sincerely look forward to your positive opinions and suggestions tonight at the board meeting as a person of interest in the position of president.  Seeing as how I have not seen you in attendance at a few of the past board meetings, I am sure now that you have a new found interest in leading this club you will want to get an early start at being proactive by, if nothing else, showing your willingness to better the club by being in attendance this evening. 

I believe it is a safe assumption that discussion will continue to take place at tonight's meeting before the general meeting this friday.   This will be a great time to get a sneak peak of you are all about and why you feel you are the one to lead this club through 2014.
