Stuart Heath called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm.

Special guests: Alvesta Robertson, Debbie Gray, Susan Boyd, Peg Marty, Marilyn Harris, Geri Connors and Nimmie’s husband, Don Huber were acknowledged.
The minutes of the April 10th meeting were approved.  

Carolyn Witkofsky’s resignation was noted and it was mentioned that Donna Armer is traveling and will miss the November meeting.

There was a discussion regarding the blogspot  https://thesagesociety.blogspot.com/ .  It was suggested that the membership list be posted there but was decided that since this is a public site, it may not be the best place for it. A current membership list will be sent out to all members in January.
There was a report from the nominating committee, Jerry Stocks, Melba Thomas and Barbara Hathaway. The new board elect is Nimmie Huber, Member-at-large, Geni Flowers will continue to serve as Secretary/Treasurer/Historian and Martha Weeks has graciously agreed to serve as President. These are 2 year terms. Thanks to the nominating committee for their hard work!

Reminder that bios for perspective members are due to Geni by December 26th. We will vote on new members in January.

Washington DC – Off the Beaten Path was explored through the eyes of Nimmie Huber in a wonderful presentation complete with beautiful slides and a Metrorail Pocket Guide for all attendees. I believe we all left with a list of unique places to visit on our next trip to DC. A brief question and answer period followed the presentation.

The meeting adjourned at 4:45.
