We had a good meeting, and Macy Brown will be writing up the notes and they will be posted on the website.

Highlights:

The dedication of the bricks will be at 1300 hours on 7 March, in the Apollo Courtyard.  (go to our website for a photo of the bricks.)

We can begin to decorate the table after 1400 hours on 7 March.

Benny Havens hour begins at 1830 hours.

The Davidson Center is Awesome!   We will be dining underneath the Command Module around the depiction of the moon with the Apollo Landing sites noted.  This will be a night to remember -   New exhibits are moving in daily.

Tuesday will be our annual Society meeting.  The primary purpose is to announce the nominations for the vacating officers and board members.  The outgoing board members and officers have been the core of the nominating committee, and they will present the list of names at the meeting.  Also, the next year’s agenda and plans will be made.  If anyone has a suggestion for meetings, or projects, or comment on what we are doing, please come and make your thoughts known.  The Society is very flexible in what we do, but we need new ideas, otherwise we will continue on the path we are on.

Items of interest PDF Print E-mail
Written by Art Meier ‘63   
Thursday, 17 January 2008

I just wanted to pass on a few items of interest:

1st the February Society Luncheon date will be 12 February – a week earlier than normal.  This is an important meeting, since by our by-laws it is the annual business meeting, where nominations are received for the vacating positions.  The other major item of the meeting is to make the basic plans for the coming year, so if there is something you wish the Society to get involved with, this is your opportunity to bring the idea up, or if you have ideas for speakers at the luncheons, or lastly to make comments on what the Society is or is not doing.  Final item will be any loose ends of Founders Day or the Dedication of the Bricks.
