September 2021 Newsletter

 

Dear Sage Society Members,

We have had a two-month hiatus and I hope you are as eager as I am to return to our monthly meetings at the Pat Conroy Literary Center. 

Our kick-off meeting is Tuesday, September 14 at 4pm where Mary Ann Mikell will have the program, The History of the Spanish Moss Trail.

Jerry Stocks will have our October 12^th program on Mosaics. Details to follow.

On November 9 Rebecca Davenport will present to us.

With a heavy heart Geni Flowers has asked to resign for a number of reasons including a working hours conflict and some health issues which need her focused attention.  Not only was Geni a Charter Member she has served faithfully for two terms as our Secretary since 2021.   We have accepted her resignation with the strong caveat that she will return someday if it is possible.

Sandi Atkins has graciously agreed to step in and filled Geni’s unexpired term. Thank you Sandi.

And we have lost another Charter Member, Carol Louvray, who is moving to Greenville, SC, but hope she might visit us for a meeting during the year.

Please remember to let me know if you should want to invite a guest.  Most likely there will be room, but space is a bit limited so knowing ahead is very helpful. 

 

Ruth Anne Lawson - The Manhattan Project

On 6/8/2021 Ruth Anne Lawson presented to Sage on The Manhattan Project, available here in its entirety.

 

She closed with a story about the role Japanese origami played in the life of Sadako Sasaki, a Hiroshima survivor who succumbed to cancer from the event a decade later.  Click here to read this story, and print instructions for creating Origami cranes.

June 2021 Newsletter

 

 

 

Dear Sage Society Members,

We had a big turnout for our first meeting since the COVID shutdown last March 2020 and I am happy to report SAGE IS BACK. Enthusiastic thanks and gratitude for our well-informed tour guides, Gina Baker and Donna Armer who gave us the grand tour of the Pat Conroy Literary Center, our new home.

Coming quickly on the heels of this newsletter, we meet June 8^h, our regular time, 4pm, to hear a program by Ruth Anne Lawson on The Manhattan Project.

Then we will take a summer hiatus and re-convene on September 14, again at 4pm, when Mary Ann Mikell will have the program, The History of the Spanish Moss Trail.

Jerry Stocks will have our October 12^th program on Mosaics.

On November 9 Rebecca Davenport will present to us.

A bit of business:  One of our charter members, Carol Louvray, is leaving us and moving to Greenville, SC.  In fact, June 8 is her last meeting. You will be sorely missed in this community, Carol.  Note that there is no meeting in December and our Annual Meeting (with no program) is set for January 11th.
