September Newsletter
· Our
next Sage Society meeting is on Tuesday,
September 12 at 4:00 in Room 124 of the
Sandstone Building (the OLLI Room) at USCB.
Come early to socialize!
· Martha
Weeks will give her presentation on Bondage.
*** I am reading Martha’s book, Tidewater Rip, and judging by her
fabulous writing style, this should be a wonderful paper! Interesting topic!
· Katherine Brown
– Member -at-Large:
1. You
will need to call for volunteers for the Nominating Committee at this meeting.
(Member-at Large plus 2-4 others – odd number)
2. Your
committee will meet later and determine the slate.
3. You
will present the slate of officers to the membership at the October meeting.
4. After the slate is presented, I will send the
slate out (by email) to the membership and ask if there are any objections. *** If there are no objections, the slate
will meet with the outgoing president (Stuart) in November to formulate plans
for the next year. The slate will be
officially voted on and installed at the January Annual Meeting and the new
President takes over then.
5. Please
be prepared to volunteer to be on the Nominating Committee. Thank you!
6. Please
be prepared to serve as an officer if asked. The duties are “minimal”
and the responsibilities are spelled out on a monthly calendar. EASY! The club is designed
to be “very low key!”
· Everyone:
Please give Geni Flowers Bouquet, Secretary, names of potential new members at
the October, November, and December meetings. Include a brief biographical
paragraph.
1. I
will share these paragraphs before the January meeting.
2. You
are encouraged to invite your potential new members to one or two meetings.
3. Let
the Secretary and President know who you will bring as a guest. Geni will
prepare a name tag for them.
4. 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.
5. We
have three openings now. Filling those vacancies will bring us up to our
“total” of 21 members.
· I
am attaching the May minutes. Please read and send any corrections to Geni. We
will approve the minutes before our speaker is presented.
· I
hope that everyone had a grand summer. I have missed seeing you.
