From the PresidentThere is change in the air! There will be a completion of the process of making a change in the Officers of the Club at the Newcomers Club’s meeting on 3/8/2023. We have already confirmed Bill Gates as Treasurer. We will confirm new officers for First Vice President and President. The current incumbents of the Second Vice President and Secretary will be reconfirmed in their positions. There have been a number of non-elective positions which will change position holders and we will acknowledge them and welcome them to their new responsibilities.
Because this process will be time-consuming, we will not have a guest speaker at this meeting. However, we will resume our speaker program in April. After a run of seven years (this time) I will be stepping down from the Presidency. I just want all of you to know that it has been both an honor and pleasure to serve in this capacity. Thank you for investing your confidence in me. I look forward to being able to sit back as a regular member and enjoy our meetings as a spectator. - Bob Noble, President Editor's NoteNow that we're back to regular meetings again, here are a few reminders of what to expect.
The monthly coffee meetings start at 9:30 for a half hour of socializing before we sit down for the meeting. If you arrive earlier, be prepared to help with setting up tables and the coffee and pastry service. Raffle items such as regiftable items and concert or sports event tickets are welcome. Tickets are just $1 for one, $2 for three, and $3 for five. Bring magazines to pass along at the Magazine Exchange. Take any that attract your interest. Those left over will be taken to HopeWest’s paper recycling bin. You don’t have to wait for the newsletter to read the minutes of the last meeting. They’re posted on our website gjnewcomers.org as soon as our secretary submits them. You can also refer to the calendar on the club’s website for activity dates, times and locations.
