Dear Vista Friends,
Your board continues to examine and implement ways to make our group both viable and vibrant. Below is some of the latest news on that front.
The monthly hospitality tasks have been redistributed. Lynn Hillman will oversee this process, (that means the coffee and supplies ride around in the trunk of her car) and the calling tree will still remind the birthday girls to bring treats. What is different is that every month one of the interest sub-groups will be responsible for helping Lynn bring the supply box in from her car and set-up and take down the room.
The sub-groups have been set-up in a monthly rotation and the head of each sub-group is responsible for seeing that the ladies in that group step up and do their part. For example:
September-Book Club
October-Bridge
November-Bunco
December-None
January-LEI
February-M&M
March-Stitch & Bitch
There is some confusion in my notes for April & May so I won’t go further, but I think you have the idea. The “Mailing of paper newsletters” invoices have gone out to those who have been receiving printed newsletters. It offers them the option to go to e-mail; arrange for e-mail to a friend or relative on their behalf or pay $33 to continue to receive a paper newsletter. The deadline for those responses is October 12, 2017.
You may recall that some years ago Arcadia Place asked that we start our meetings at 9:30 am. Since then “the creep” has set in and our starting time has been drifting back toward 10:00 am. Effective this month we will start our meeting at 9:45 am. That will give you time between 9:30 and 9:45 to get your coffee and socialize a bit before we start. We want to be thoughtful as to our guest status with Arcadia Place.
With kindest regards, Janet & Trudy
