Can you believe that summer is more than half over, and it's August already! Where does the time go? My summer has been very busy this year. I went to the Mediterranean on a cruise in June and enjoyed it very much. I took my ganddaughters Holly (age nine) and Amber (age six) to Louisville, KY to visit family. I hope your summer is going well, too. September will be here before we know it.
Rember the luncheons are always on the second Wednesday of March, May, June, September, November and December. They are at Drakes Landing on Western Reserve Road. Meetings begin at 11:30 with call to order at 11:45.
Joyce Mistovich, the Education Director at the Butler Institute of American Art will be September's speaker. She will update us on what's happening at the museum. Dr. Robin Rayfield, Executive Director of ORTA will be November's speaker. He will fill us in on ORTA news. And, in December, Boardman's Jazz Band will perform. Please attend, we need our members to support us.
We are also looking for an Historian and someone to assist Maggie Skripac with reservations. Receiving the reservations and doing the nametags is a BIG job. Maggie has been doing it for five years (and I did it for five years before her). Please volunteer to help her out PLEASE HELP!
We are also working on revising and updating MRTA's Bylaws and Standing Rules. We will be reporting on the changes at the September meeting. I really hope I get to see you then.
