Dear Santa Barbara ARRL member,
Hello! My name is Ned Stearns, AA7A, and I am running for the office of Vice Director for the ARRL Southwestern Division. I have known many of for years as a result of being active in several clubs in the Phoenix area, or from contacts at Tuthill hamfest, ARRL Divsion conventions or from contacts on the air. I would like to ask you to vote for me for Vice Director in the upcoming elections. And I would also like to ask your help by forwarding this email to any of your friends who may not know me and are interested in making an informed choice in the upcoming election.
If you have some time, please read the "AA7A for Vice Director" web page which contains relevant background information about me and my qualifications for the position. Please point your web browser here:

The ARRL members of the Southwestern Division are rather fortunate to have a choice between two very qualified candidates for the office of Vice Director. It is important that everyone who has an interest in choosing their League representation vote in this election.
Ballots should start arriving around 1 October. Please remember to vote. And, please remind others to vote.
And, finally, please vote for AA7A for Vice Director.
Thank you for your consideration,
Ned AA7A
p.s. I beg your forgiveness if you receive multiple copies of this email. At least it's ham radio-related email and I am not asking for any money.
