I showed the attached chart and asked for feedback on the list of potential topics and speakers for our 7 meetings in 2025 (April through October) during our final 2024 membership meeting last week. If you have suggestions of other topics or speakers, please let me know.

Arranging these meetings is the principal job of the FOSM vice-president, a position I’ve been honored to hold since October 2020. I’ve told Mike Madden and other board members that this term will be my last because after 5 years the position needs someone with fresh ideas for programs. Please let Mike or me know if you would be interested in assuming the position next October.

I plan to continue as webmaster. (As they say in Texas, the good Lord willing and the creeks don’t rise.)
