Latest News

From the Governor’s Desk: 01/12/2019

To our beloved members and cousins,

2019 is shaping up to be an interesting year.

Our committees are working diligently on their assigned duties. The nominating committee (led by Joan Miller) is in full swing making phone calls and helping to create a slate for our annual meeting. Please contact her if you are interested in contributing, we have open positions as part of the natural turnover on groups. Since everyone is a volunteer, it is amazing how much work is accomplished!

Our website is transitioning the first quarter of the new year. It will offer new features for current and potential members.

Our financial committee is finalizing budgets and we are reviewing our positions in our Vanguard fund for best yield. These funds have been a partial source of our revenue in the past, helping keep dues down. Your notice should be arriving soon, prompt payment is always appreciated!

We are looking forward to our annual meeting April 27that the Desmond Hotel in Malvern, PA with Caleb Johnson as our speaker.  Caleb promises to share new discoveries that he has developed with Sue Allen in our meeting.

Our 400 year anniversary in 2020 looms. Feel free to offer ideas for celebration and be prepared to participate in the events.

The General Society is active with many events and causes. A Rose Bowl float is planned for January 1st2020 and you can participate in a once in a lifetime event. The renovation of the “Meeting House” now includes ownership rights.

May your winter be healthy and the start of a great 2019!

Thanks for your support!

Reed Kneale, Sr - Acting Governor
