With the Benefit changes we are asking Benefits Representative, Amy Hoy to send a letter explaining the process for acting on these changes with Chard Snyder and the Bursar. We will then send this explanation out to all Emeriti Members.

Ambassadors

Russ Wright

 

Russ mentioned we need two volunteers for the November games. For the December 16 Commencements one at 10:30 and one at 1:30, we need eight volunteers for each session.

 

Ann suggested the Ambassadors might call a friend and ask them to come along and just see what being an Ambassador is all about. Once they know it is fun and rewarding, we may get more volunteers.

 

Past President

Russ Wright

 

He has contacted several people to fill the Council vacancies and he gets a “No” from all so far. Vacancies are: President Elect, Membership Chair, and a Council member. Several Council Members suggested names of people they know that might be interested in participating on the Council. They will contact these folks and if anyone is interested they will let Russ know.

 

It was suggested that Misty and the Membership Chairperson use the same master list of members in order stop doubling the work of making two lists. They would have the same password and be able to work on just one membership list.
