Hi. I am currently President of the MFMC Board and I am sorry, but the answer would be no. The problem is this, if we made an exception for you for this rule, then others could ask for exceptions to other rules. The only thing we can do is put it on another ballot in the fall and hope that more people in the community vote to approve the change. I was hoping this would have passed and I am just as disappointed as you.
Mike M
