any one can raise a issue with the board by contacting the secretary and having it added to the agenda this is the correct method. time constraints may mean its not discussed then but set for a later date.

perhaps the club needs to hold more general members meetings yes this is a challenge when we are such a widespread international group. but online technology makes that more feasible.

Kurt - just to clarify the only way members will find out about this town hall is via the post here on the forum? I understand the not wanting to incur additional cost to the club, but a very small fraction of members actually get on here how do you plan to inform the rest of the members aside from the post as you mentioned with less than a week until the meeting?
Thanks Nathan

Nathan,
This is not the only place, there will be an email and a mailing that members will receive as well. I would also ask that any Chapter leaders pass the word as they can.

The meetings will be recorded and made available, and of course anyone can reach out at any time to any of the board members or the Club admin.

Any member can attend any or all sessions.

TK88 -  I agree, there should be more meetings like this, perhaps once per quarter? Technology makes it possible and we should use it.

Just so you know depending on when it was mailed lots may not receive it in time, we’re typically over a month after the mail date for the magazine here. Also I hope the email works better than it did for the AGM. I never did get that email nor did lots of others, I only knew about because i was chatting with someone and they ended up forwarding it to me. Not sure how many others may not have got it. I did even check junk and spam folders for it, just making you aware of some of the complications that might come up.

Nathan, no problem. I hear you on the chances for missed communications, all I can say is if you are on the forum, make sure your email is the correct one. How to get to everyone else is a challenge for certain.

Online meetings present problems for members that never get online, and holding multiple in-person meetings with the associated mailing costs for notices to accommodate them is well outside the Club's budget.

Anyone that knows of other members that would have an interest, I'd ask that we all be good members and reach out as you can and let them know! Belt and suspenders.

we have the same thing down unda auspost says they are losing money so they reduce services to save costs so people go elsewhere. ive had letters arrive from the dept of social security days after the deadline to respond listed in the letter thankfully they called me and the issues were sorted.

the bulletin board only works if updated regularly and checked regularly but not everyone has time to do that on a daily basis.

email only works if the email on file is the correct one and the info is actually correct, and the recipients mail box isnt full, the junk filter doesnt reject it, people check their junk and trash folders. and of course regularly check their email.

We hope that transcripts will be available soon for those who did not have a chance to sit in on the Zoom meetings. Many postcards did not arrive until Friday here in N. California, so as much as I wish not to say, some that do not regularly visit this BB did not know, and missed out, asking what had happened.JM

    "I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
