Martha Weeks called the meeting to order at 4:00 pm.
The minutes of the November 12th meeting
were approved.
Annual membership dues of $25.00, in cash, were collected from
each member. [Side note: There are 7 members unpaid at this time. Please be
sure to bring your dues to the February meeting so that we can donate the money
to Born to Read in a timely manner. Thank you!]
There was a discussion regarding charities to be considered as
recipients for Sage dues money. There seems to be some confusion as to what
year’s dues are donated to our designated charity. Born to Read was chosen last
year to receive the 2020 funds. A subcommittee, comprised of Jen Moneagle,
Member-at-Large, Diane Gallagher and Stuart Heath will discuss and vet
organizations to receive this money going forward. Please send any suggestions
for worthy recipients for consideration to them for the 2021
funds.
One new member, Ruth Anne Lawson, was voted in unanimously. Stuart
will be contacting her to let her know that she was accepted, and Martha will
send her a welcome letter.
Martha will be sending out a new roster of members which will
include the dates of membership. This will help as a reminder as to when our
presentations are due to be scheduled. A list was sent around with dates for
people to sign up for presentations.
Reminder that the Museum Tea is on May 19th.
Geni announced that the OLLI room will continue to be our meeting
space for the coming year. Renovations are planned to that room during the
summer but hopefully, that won’t affect us much. If the construction is not
completed by the time we come back in September, we will make other
arrangements at that time.
Peggy Pickett with be presenting on February 11th.
A card went around to send to Jerry – we wish her speedy healing!
Jen thanked everyone for the card we sent her.
The meeting adjourned 4:35.
The next regular meeting of the Sage Society will be held on
Tuesday, February 11th at 4:00 pm in the OLLI classroom (room 124 of the USCB
Sandstone building.)
