Newsletter-- October, 2018


The Sage Society                               
October   Newsletter

·       Our next Sage Society meeting is on Tuesday, October 9, 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 on Washington, DC – Off the Beaten Path!

·       Since we had to cancel our meeting courtesy of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Florence, our presentation schedule has been slightly adjusted. Carla Marsh will present in November and Carol Lauvray will be rescheduled. 

·       Since our nominating process for new officers was interrupted, we had
 to “monitor and adjust” if we wanted to follow the schedule that is stated in the by-laws.

 Melba Thomas, the Member-at-Large, is head of the Nominating Committee. She secured several volunteers to be on her committee and they are in the process of recruiting a new President, Sec/Treas/Historian, and a Member-at-Large. They will report on the slate of officers at our meeting. 

·       Everyone: Please give Geni Flowers Bouquet, Secretary, names of potential new members at the November meeting. Include a brief biographical paragraph. We will accept nominations (and brief biographies) until Dec. 29. 

We do not meet in December, so please get your nominating information in ASAP.
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 4 openings now. Filling those vacancies will bring us up to our “total” of 21 members.

·       In the September newsletter, I shared the April minutes. (We did not meet in May.  Most of you were at the BHM Tea at Dataw.) 

Please read the April Minutes and send any corrections to Geni. We will approve the minutes before our speaker is presented.
