September   Newsletter

·       Our next Sage Society meeting is on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, at 4:00 in Room 124 of the Sandstone Building (the OLLI Room) at USCB.  Come early to socialize!  
·       Nimmie Huber will give her presentation: Washington, DC – Off the Beaten Path
·       Melba ThomasMember -at-Large:
 
1.    At the meeting you will call for two volunteers to join you on the Nominating Committee.
2.    Your committee will meet and determine the slate.
3.    The officers are: President, Secretary/Treasurer/Historian, and Member-at-Large. Officers serve two-year terms.
4.    You will present the slate of officers to the membership at the October meeting.
5.     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 their counterpart to train and get notebooks before the January meeting.  The slate will be officially voted on and installed at the January Annual Meeting and the new President takes over then.
6.    Members: Please be prepared to volunteer to be on the Nominating Committee. Thank you!
7.    Members: 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 the nominations and bios with the membership before the January meeting.
2.    You are encouraged to invite  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.

·       Reminder of topics to come:

October: Carla Marsh    TBD
November: Carol Lauvray       Reconstruction in Beaufort
February:  Jen Moneagle   TBD
March: Grace Cordial    TBD
April : Sandi Atkins    TBD

·       I am attaching the April 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.
