The Governor was supposed to start a thread prior to the vote starting to facilitate discussion, but since that hasn't happened yet and the vote is starting soon, I am going to do it.
We are voting on what our regional symbol will be for: beverage, bird, gem, meal and tree. We have several options that will be on the ballot based on suggestions from delegates, but write-ins are welcome and encouraged!! If anyone has ideas for what would be a good symbol for these categories, please feel free to throw it out in this thread and help it gain some traction!!
