No More ExComm Meetings This Term

Even though the current ExComm remains in office until the end of October, we have decided to forego having a meeting at the Election Party in October. (We're only required to meet 10 times per year, and we've already met 11, with no additional pressing items for us to handle.)

The next ExComm meeting will be under the 2011-2013 ExComm, taking place at Jenifer Foster's home on Nov. 20 from noon-2pm.  Closer to that date, if you're interested in getting a copy of the agenda, you'll need to contact the new LocSec, Karen Caron, at locsec@mwm.us.mensa.org. (Don't try her yet at that address, as it's still going to me through Oct. 31.)

Sept. MWM ExComm Meeting

The penultimate (possibly the final) meeting of the current ExComm will be held this Sunday at Toni Smiley's home in DC. (Hopefully as many of the incoming ExComm as possible will also be in attendance.) There is very little on the agenda, given the waning days of this ExComm. We will set up the next ExComm with what we can, finish any planning re: the Election Party, and consider the possibility of purchasing a portable screen. If you're an MWM member and would like a copy of the agenda, drop me a line.
