Roaming the Region
by
(aka Gloater), RVC Region 3
The Region 3 Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) was held
this weekend in Columbus, Ohio. The big attraction appeared to be the 4-hour
Food Safety Course that addressed cautions in the preparation of food for groups
and also covered the 12 most unwanted food pathogens. There were 52 attendees
at the LDW with additional local members coming in Saturday evening for our
monthly Games Night. If you missed this LDW, maybe your group should start
thinking about hosting one next year. Get your bids in early. Those of you on
the regional fringes might also consider combining resources with your adjoining
region; I’m willing to share.
Just a quick comment on ProxyQuest – Region 3 is still
kicking proxy butt. Regions 2 and 4 are getting close to catching us, but we
have 2800 proxies which is almost 56% of the region. You guys make me proud to
be an RVC. (And if by chance you don’t know what this paragraph is about, please
contact me and I’ll be glad to explain it.)
Renewals are now in full swing, but on March 31 the Mensa
membership year ended and all who didn’t renew were dropped from the roles
(along with the proxies they may have submitted). If you or any of your Mensa
friends are in that category, please get your renewals submitted. This can be
done easily at the
national web
site.
I would also like to announce to the region that at the
March AMC meeting in Charlottesville, VA, I requested the appointment of an
Assistant RVC for Region 3. Alan Baltis from the Cleveland Area Mensa will be
assisting me as needed. Alan, have I told you about notifying members about
ProxyQuest? J
