Ben 4 Vice (Why vote for me)

Hi Gents

You get my e-mails every so often and I even have a website to support my campaign to become Vice-Chairman, but many of you probably wonder why you must vote for me.

Round Table 25 is entering a phase where many Tablers with lots of experience and lots of membership years behind them are becoming 41′ers in the next two years.

In order for RT 25 to stay the leading Table that it is, it is important that the vice-chairman elect is someone with the necessary experience, both locally and internationally (scroll down for my complete CV), who holds RT 25 close to his heart – and I am that person. It is also time for me to give something more back to this Table that I treasure so much.

Everybody might not like me (or the way I do things), but luckily Round Table is not a popularity contest. Although someone might not like me or my ways, that does not deter him from voting for me, because in the end, it is not about Ben Burger, but about what is best for Round Table 25. And this year the best for the Round Table 25, is to vote Ben 4 Vice.

I have huge respect for my fellow candidate and wish him good luck, but I trust that the members of Round Table 25 will vote a vote of significance and vote Ben 4 Vice.

Vyf vinnige feite oor Tafelronde

1. Hoewel die laaste Tafel in VeTSA Augrabies 273 is, is daar net 187 Tafels in VeTSA.

2. Die jongste Tafel in die Vrystaat is Goldfields 204. 3. Wanneer ‘n Tafel toemaak, behou hy sy nommer en ‘n nuwe Tafel wat ingehuldig word kan nie die nommer van ‘n Tafel wat toegemaak het, vat nie.

4. Al die areas se nommers het verander met die samesmelting van Oos-Rand, Wes-Rand en Gauteng-Sentraal verlede jaar na een Area: Gauteng.

5. Die Vrystaat se nommer is nou 5, nie meer 7 nie.

Ben 4 Vice

HI Guys

This blog is best viewed if you use Mozilla Firefox. You can download it at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html. It works much better than Internet Explorer. If you use Explorer, all the links will be at the bottom, instead of on the right.

I will use this blog as part of my campaign to ask you guys to please vote for me as the new Vice-Chairman of Bloemfontein RT25. I will update it freqeuntly and will let you know everytime that it is updated. Also please visit the rest of benburgeronline.com to see our pictures and to have a good laugh.

First off: the copy of an article that appeared in The Daily Tabler and below that my Table CV. Also visit the links on the right (if you use Firefox) or at the bottom (if you use IE).

Ben Burger, an expereinced member of Round Table 25 in Bloemfontein, has decided to make himself available for the position of Vice-Chairman of the Table for 2007.

“It is now time for me. I have served in this wonderful organization since 2001 and it is now time that I serve the Table even further by standing for the position of Vice-Chairman,” Burger said in an interview with The Daily Tabler.

Burger’s CV looks like that of a man who knows what he is talking about. He definitely does not lack the experience as he has travelled quite extensively in his Table career so far, both nationally and internationally.

He has also held a variety of portfolios in his Table and Area, ranging from Area Secretary to Melodrama Convenor. His CV is available on www.benburgeronline.com

“Round Table has given me experiences and opportunities like you cannot imagine. And for that I am very thankful. Had it not been for Table, I probably would not have met my lovely wife and we would have never had the opportunity to go overseas,” Burger says.

He continues: “Round Table 25 are losing quite a few members as 41′ers in the next two years, and it is important that someone with the necessary experience guide the Table through these possible difficult years.

“It is very important to understand that no-one is bigger than the organization and therefore it is not about me becoming Vice-Chairman just for the hell of it, it is about me becoming Vice-Chairman because it will be the best for Round Table 25.”

HOOGTEPUNTE

In die eerste plek is beslis die feit dat ek toegelaat is tot hierdie wonderlike organisasie en dat ek iets in die gemeenskap kan beteken. Die twee ARTCA-konferensies en die drie Europese toere is beslis ook hoog op my lysie, en ek is baie dankbaar want sonder Tafelronde sou ek nie hierdie geleenthede gehad het nie. Ek is in 2002 genooi om die openingspreker te wees by die Noord-Kaap-area se konferensie in De Aar. Beslis een van my hoogtepunte. Nog ‘n hoogtepunt is die portefeuljes wat ek op Tafel en Areavlak beklee het. Die ondervinding wat ek hierdeur opgedoen het, verryk my kennis en begrip van Tafelronde. En natuurlik is die kameraadskap en vriendskap altyd ‘n hoogtepunt.
