The roll was called and those present answered with the title of their favorite magazine.

The minutes of the February 14th meeting were approved.

There was a discussion regarding the program for the April 11th meeting. Since the person scheduled to present that day cannot present, several alternative suggestions were made, one being to repeat a previous presentation and another to have a guided tour of the USCB campus with Andrea and Geni acting as hosts. After a vote, it was decided to go with the campus tour. It is suggested that members wear comfortable shoes next meeting as we will be walking a little from building to building.

Rebecca Davenport gave her informative and entertaining presentation on Sideshows. There was a question and answer period immediately following. Information was shared with the members regarding Rebecca’s upcoming shows. A link to that website was sent out via e-mail to the group on 3/15/17.

An announcement was made about Martha’s new book, Tidewater Hit, being released soon.

The meeting adjourned at approximately 5:00.

The next regular meeting of the Sage Society will be held on Tuesday, April 11th  at 4:00 pm in the OLLI classroom (room 124 of the USCB Sandstone building.)
