The Sage Society
April
Newsletter
· Our
next Sage Society meeting is on Tuesday,
April 11 at 4:00 in Room 124 of the
Sandstone Building (the OLLI Room) at USCB.
Come early to socialize!
· At
this meeting, we will hear about the OLLI program from Andrea and then Geni
will take us on a walking tour of select parts of the USCB Campus. (Wear
comfortable walking shoes.) ***Geni’s
tour will prepare us for her paper in May on “The History of Beaufort
College.”
· Rebecca
Davenport, please give Geni a paragraph synopsis of your presentation about
Sideshows. She will add the synopsis to
the archives and send a copy to Larry to include in the Blog. (If you have
already done this---thanks! Thanks!)
· Everyone:
Please turn in a synopsis of your paper to Geni (Secretary/ Historian) when
you present your paper. This routine will ensure that all presentations are
archived so that in the future we can look back and see “if and when” a topic
has been addressed.
· I
am including a list of the topics that have been presented and those that are
scheduled so far. You can go: THESAGESOCIETY.BLOGSPOT.COM to see
what has been posted about each presentation. ***I will probably update the listing and
include in each newsletter. (There will
always be changes.)

· Guests
are welcome. We ask that you invite the same guest only twice in the
presentation year (February-December). Please notify the President and secretary
so that we can welcome your guests.
· You
can nominate someone for membership at any time. Turn any nominations in to the
secretary, Geni Flowers. We will solicit brief biographies of potential new
members in November. All potential new members will be put on a waiting list
and voted on at the annual meeting in January. The top “vote getters” will fill
the open spots. The others will remain on the waiting list.
We have three openings now. Filling
those vacancies will bring us up to our “total” of 21 members.
