Society Mailing List

ImageThe West Point Society of the Tennessee Valley communicates primarily via email. We use the West Point Association of Graduates’ database that generates our regional members roster. We take that roster to generate our mailing list periodically and make sure to do it before society events so we have the latest.  If you want to join our mailing list, log into the WPAOG website and update your contact information with them. Click the Login link on the top right of their page and after you login, click the My Profile link in the same place. That lets them know you are in our area and appear on our roster. You should become part of the mailing shortly. If you do not want to wait you can also contact our society information systems officer, Mike Lyman and let him have your contact info.

The mailing list is very low volume most of the time. For most of the year there are only a handful of message each month. During football season and before Founders Day, the traffic increases somewhat as we coordinate those events.

Messages to the mailing list will have a subject line that starts with “wps-tenn-valley:” If you receive an email like that it’s from us! We occasionally use the WPAOG mailing list so anything with a subject like that starts with “[arealist-al2]” also comes from us.

Annual Organization Meeting

The annual Organization Meeting of the West Point Society of the Tennessee Valley  was held at the RSA Officers Club on 21 February 2006.  The primary purpose of the meeting was to made changes to the Society's Consititution and By-laws and to nominate Officers and Board members for terms ending in 2009.

The revised consititution and by-laws will be posted on the Society Web site within a few days.  Major changes were in adding the Membership and Admissions Officers as members of the Executive Body, establishing the Friends of West Point as a classification of membership, clarifying the membership classifications of Honorary and Associate Membership, adjusting the roles of the Executive Body and the Board of Governors, and specifying that the Annual Organization Meeting to be held in February, with the election of new officers and Board members to be conducted at the Founders Day Dinner in March.

Rich McAdams was nominated for the position of Vice President, Mike Moran was nominated for Treasurer, Jimmy Hill and Ray Tomlinson were nominated for Board Members.  All individuals are currently holding these positions and if elected will have terms that end in 2009.

The meeting closed with updates on Founders Day.  Just a reminder that it is easy to sign up for the dinner using the Website.  You may check the Website to see who (or who has not!) is planning on coming.  Check to see if your classmates will be there, and if not give them a call and ask why (there may be a good reason, but maybe they just have forgotten.)

More later.
