ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING

On 6/11/12 SAM Senior Men’s Group will hold our annual meeting at Tommy Nevins 1450 Sherman Ave. in Evanston. Lunch will start at 12:30pm with the meeting to follow lunch. The restaurant will not issue separate checks so please have cash. For those who can’t make lunch the meeting should begin by 1:30pm. As you know we have spent the past year forming a North Shore senior men’s group for men over 55 who are retired or semi-retired and who wish to participate in a diversity of activities with similarly situated men. We are happy to report that we now have almost 40 men participating in one or more of our seven activity groups. In addition our members have been invited to join in activities with the other groups in the north and northwest suburbs.

Agenda:
* Report on General Membership
* Report on activity groups participation
* Joint activities with other suburban groups
* Seek ideas for new activity groups
* Nomination and Election of a Board of Directors
* Set amount of annual dues

The time has come to develop a more formal structure with a legal entity, officers or board and dues. To date any expenses incurred have been paid for by individual members. Now that we have sufficient membership there is no reason a few men should carry the burden. We are slowly reaching the point of needing co-ordination of our groups and leadership to work on marketing and membership expansion.

It is important that you attend this meeting and provide your input and ideas. If you would be willing to serve on the Board of Directors please let Rich Steele Nominations Chairman know by emailing him at richsteele45@comcast.net.

We are off to a great beginning but we need the participation of each and every one of you to help our group grow and provide the finest array of activities for our members.

Thank you.

Karl Berolzheimer, Bob Moss, Terry Michaels, and Rich Steele
