Next week, ballots will be mailed to all 2014 members of the Freedom to Read Foundation. Per election guidelines, each candidate for FTRF trustee has written a short "Statement of Qualification and Concern" to help guide the voting process. To help you get a fresh start on deciding who you'll be voting for - and as a reminder to those who have yet to renew your FTRF membership for 2014 (the deadline is Monday, March 31) - we have posted the candidates' statements online. Voters will be able to select up to 5 candidates for election. Enjoy! And vote!
