NUMBER FOURTEEN IS CERTAINLY UNUSUAL!!!!!
I have had a life long ambition to hold public office but I live in an unincorporated area {no local elected offices}, I am an Independent voter, and I never had the money to run for state or county office as an independent. Last Wednesday in our local paper was listed an opening on our local school board. I immediately sent off a letter indicating my interests and listing my qualifications.
I never expected to hear from them as we have no children currently attending school in the district. Friday when we were hiking at Castlewood park my cell rings and it is the superintendent of Bayless wanting to interview me.
Tonight at 5:00 PM I have an interview with the Bayless school board. I wanted to post before the interview while still optimistic. enthuisactic, and in a good frame of mind. I will post the results in the comment section.

Dear Eileen
I am interested in filing for the remaining vacant term of the Bayless School Board. I meet all of the requirements listed in the South County Journal.
I am twenty percent completed on my goal to do seventy new things in my seventieth year. I have no doubt I will accomplish my goal.
