to Mike LaChance Commodore 320IA and All C320 Owners

with direct regard to volunteering to serve as an officer for this great 
owners association:

I am active on the 'List' and am genuinely willing consider to to serve as 
an officer.
However, I live in Australia and I feel limited as to how I could accomplish 
a roll as an officer in this great Association.

Bruce Stanley
C320  #1084 Fantastic Lady / Sydney Australia
