Committee to privately tabulate seasonal-contest votes after meeting; 11 entries recorded
Summary
The EC recorded 11 entries for its seasonal pumpkin contest and agreed to privately tabulate members' ranked picks after the meeting; prizes under consideration include a gift certificate from Smith's Farm/Chicken Ranch Country Store.
The EC recorded 11 entries in the seasonal pumpkin contest and discussed how to select a winner. The chair said members could either open voting to the community or conduct an internal ranking. Members favored an internal, private tabulation after the meeting, with each member ranking their top three (three points for first, two for second, one for third). The chair volunteered to tabulate the results.
Prize options discussed included a gift certificate from Smith's Farm (operating a Country Chicken Ranch Country Store) and in-kind items brought by committee members. The chair and one member noted that voting links were created for backend testing but were not posted publicly; the chair will retrieve available backend results and finalize the tabulation after the meeting.
Committee members also discussed future publicity to increase participation (posting at Pompey Mall and on Facebook), noting some residents do not use Facebook. The group agreed that practicing the internal voting method this year would help refine procedures for future contests.
