Minutes from February 11, 2008 ExComm Meeting
GENERAL EX-COMM MEETING WRITE-UP
Our very first business meeting of the general population was, to my mind, an immense
success. I'm sure I have a bit to learn about setting and keeping an agenda, and about
letting people go at a reasonable time -- but I did *SO* enjoy hearing what the general
membership gets out of their membership, and what they *want* out of it.
For those who came -- Thank you for coming! And do come back -- I promise not to keep you
for two hours next time, at least not without feeding you. Holy moley.
For those who didn't come, here are some of the things we discussed:
- by-laws -- We'll be revamping those over the next couple of months, getting our local
bylaws into compliance with national, and adding a bit of our own local flavor. Check out
the local website where you'll find the
current local by-laws (PDF format), and the
national minimum standards for bylaws (PDF format)
-- let the ExComm know what you think should be added, and we'll put it
on the agenda for the next meeting. And come to the next general meeting, too -- it'll be
the first Monday of March, 6:00 PM, at my humble abode.
- activity -- Everybody wants more activity. We talked about social activity and service
activity and intellectual activity. Be watching the website and newsletter for lots of new
events. And send in your ideas. Better yet, come to the activities scheduled, and come to
the March general meeting to let us know what you think.
- regional gatherings -- If you haven't attended a regional gathering, you've missed a lot
of the best of what Mensa has to offer. Consider attending Tampa's ARRRRR-G over Memorial Day
weekend -- and come back home with ideas about what we might offer in an RG of our own in
a year or so. And come to the March general meeting and tell us your ideas! :-)
Please do consider yourself personally invited to the next general meeting. And put the first
Monday of each month on your calendar -- what do *you* want to get out of your membership? The
monthly meetings are a great opportunity for you to let us know.
See you at the next PigSig! And at Last Friday!
