New Member Recruitment <br />The Committee discussed their plan to hold a New Member Open House sometime in October as a way <br />to recruit additional members. Suzie distributed a spread sheet that summarized information on <br />potential candidates suggested by committee and a discussion followed. <br />Location and timing: Linda volunteered to host a pot luck supper at her home for this event. She <br />will contact the committee with several suggested dates and the most convenient date will be <br />selected. <br />• Program: The evening will have two main components, in addition to networking and socializing: <br />1) Members explaining the work of the committee, the many and varied jobs that need to be <br />done to accomplish a successful town celebration event, and why they are motivated to stay <br />involved; and 2) an open discussion about how the committee can be as effective and <br />successful as possible, both at meeting our stated goals and at accommodating the needs and <br />schedules of volunteer members. <br />• Invitations: All new member prospects will receive an invitation letter by email with request for <br />RSVP. <br />• Food and beverages: supplied by committee members. <br />Other Business <br />• Because the committee will be shorthanded for the Veterans' Day Parade due to retirements and <br />illness, two candidates from the new member list will be invited to attend the meeting of October <br />16 and hopefully will be given assignments for parade day. We particularly need volunteers to <br />help coordinate and oversee the wreath bearers. <br />Brookhaven at Lexington has a large contingent of veterans, many of them from the World War II <br />era. Linda has initiated contact with a member of the group to explore future possibilities for <br />collaboration, particularly in the area of programming. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Linda Dixon, Co- Secretary <br />
