The
Sage Society
October 2017 Newsletter
· Our
next Sage Society meeting is on Tuesday,
October 10 at 4:00 in Room 124 of the
Sandstone Building (the OLLI Room) at USCB.
Come early to socialize!
· Julie
Schmidt will give her presentation on Frank Lloyd Wright.
·
· Since
we had to cancel our meeting courtesy of the predicted Hurricane/Tropical
Storm, Martha Weeks will hold her paper on Bondage and give it if we need a
“fill-in” for one of our meetings. This plan will keep us on schedule.
· Since
our nominating process for new officers was interrupted, the current officers
have been thinking.
1. Sage
is still in the “development stage.”
2. It has been suggested that we change the
by-laws and elect our officers to serve a two-year term.
a. The
responsibilities for each office is minimal.
b. Serving two-years will ensure consistency.
c. The
current officers are willing to stay on for a second term of office.
3. The
first item of business when we have our Annual Meeting in January can be to
change the By-Law that states the term of office. We can change the term of
office from one year to two years.
4. If
there are objections to this plan, please let one of the officers know.
·
Everyone:
Please give Geni Flowers Bouquet, Secretary, names of potential new members at
the 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.
· In
the September newsletter, I shared 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.
