<p>Marcia Colburn<br />
Membership Director / Secretary</p>
<p><strong>NOMINATIONS:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Steve Colburn for President</strong> &#8211; Steve and his wife Marcia helped start the Music City Phins in 2003. Long time Parrotheads, Steve and Marcia worked with a few other folks to get the club going in Nashville. Steve has served in various Board positions over the past years including President. As Kathleen has decided to step down, Steve is ready to take on the challenge and try to keep the enthusiasm and momentum going another year. It looks to be exciting with Margaritaville opening soon and the club celebrating 8 years in Music City. Steve wants to get more members involved in committees to bring some new ideas to a great organization. </p>
<p><strong>Marcia Colburn for Membership Director/Secretary</strong> &#8211; Marcia and her husband Steve helped get the club started back in 2003. Marcia has served in various positions on the Board including Treasurer, Secretary, and Membership Director. She is so proud to see the club with over 160 members and hopes to find ways to renew those memberships in 2011. </p>
<p><strong>Kathleen Wallish for VP/Social Director</strong> &#8211; Kat has done a great job running the club for the past two years. While she needs a break from the President role, she is anxious to stay involved in the VP position. Kat has lots of friends and contacts in the music industry including Trop Rockers! She will continue to keep the music playing for the club as VP. </p>
<p><strong>Jamie Bonkowski for Charities Director</strong> &#8211; Hello Music City Phins &#8211; I would like to be the Charities Director for our organization.  Here is just a little about me. I am an educator for OmniVisions -TASK School in Lebanon, TN. This is a a residential treatment facility for children that have been court ordered to undergo treatment and are not able to attend a regular public school due to their offences. Being an educator for many years I understand the importance of charitable organizations and what a benefit they provide to the community.  I would like to work with the Music City Phins members to foster community involvement. With the help of our members we can continue to develop in our charitable contributions to the community. Thank you all for your consideration for Charities Director.</p>
<p><strong>Mike Pugh for Web Master</strong> &#8211; Mike has been the constant in the club since day 1. He keeps us all informed with a great web site. Let&#8217;s keep him doing what he does best!</p>
