The Election Results Are In!
Congratulations are in order for the newly-elected Officers of Alfa Owners of New England! Our new President, Treasurer, and Board of Directors will assume their official duties as of July 1.
Running unopposed and
elected President is Tom Lesko, Hingham, MA - 781-749-9132 - tmlesko@mediaone.net. Tom’s been an Alfa owner
since 1970 when he bought his one and only Alfa, his beloved ’65 Giulia Spider
Veloce. He has been an AONE member for over 10 years and a Director for most of that time.
Over the years, he has held several positions, including Velocissima Editor, and
has organized many club events. In addition, Tom holds the distinction of being the only
Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club Chapter President in the country without an Alfa on the road.
(His Giulia is undergoing a multi-year restoration, but he promises to have it drivable
this year!)
Dave Pratt, Dedham, MA - 781-320-8208 - dave@dvpratt.com, also unopposed, was elected as our club’s Treasurer, taking over Bruce Murray’s capably run duties. Tom Lesko’s first official act will be to appoint Dave as Editor of Velocissima to free up his time for presidential duties. Dave’s been working on the newsletter for the past few issues anyway. As Treasurer, Editor, and Webmaster, Dave’s role can probably more accurately be described as club Scribe.
The results of the races for the eight Director positions, expressed as a percentage of members voting, is shown below:
| Jonathan Kirshtein | 90% |

Bill Anderson, South Berwick, ME -
207-748-1709 - bill@mozart.sr.unh.eduTo the members who threw their hats into the ring but weren’t elected, we offer our heart-felt thanks - but it doesn’t stop there! There’s no reason that you can’t still pitch in! The fact that you stepped up to the plate indicates your willingness to participate, so contact President Tom or any one of the Directors and let him know that you want to help! There are lots of things that can be done, so choose something that interests you and do it!
And that goes for everybody! Our new Directors have taken on the responsibility - both collectively and personally - for organizing lots of great Alfa events over the coming months and years. But they can’t do it alone! Any assistance that you could offer will help to further the cause! Just contact any of the Directors, whose phone numbers and email addresses are listed on this page, and let them know how you’d like to help.
Our club is coming alive again - you can feel it in the air! Join in the fun by participating in events and, better yet, helping to make them happen!
