March 2015 Editor:
Members are invited to submit a proposal to make a research presentation at the meeting. Proposals must be sent to Research Committee co-chairs Brenda Himrich or Sarah Johnson and include a title and brief outline of what the presentation will consist of with emphasis on the research that will be included. Standard presentations are 20 minutes (with an additional eight minutes for questions) although the duration may be longer or shorter depending on the needs of the presenter and of the schedule. The Research Committee (which also consists of Dan Levitt, Stew Thornley, Rich Arpi, and Bob Tholkes) will finalize the schedule of research presentations two weeks before the meeting, so proposals must be submitted by then. Elections for the board of directors will be held during the business meeting. A special election will be held to fill the remainder of the term of Scott Cummings, who resigned when he moved to Duluth. The regular election will then be held, and four members will be elected to the board of directors to succeed outgoing directors Doug Skipper, Gary DeSmith, and Leanne Rohrbach as well as the person elected to fill out Scotts term, which expires on June 30. Anyone interested in running for a two-year term may contact Nominating Committee Chair Stew Thornley, 651-415-0791. Other upcoming activities: Josh Ostergaard will host another Royals Recipe dinner on Saturday, February 21 at 6:00 p.m. at Faith Mennonite Church, 2720 E. 22nd Street in south Minneapolis. The event is open to the public, and several Halsey Hall Chapter members plan on attending. The Research Committee will be meeting Monday, February 23 at 7:00 p.m. the Hennepin County Southdale Library, 7001 York Avenue South, Edina 55435. For more information, contact Research Committee co-chairs Brenda Himrich and Sarah Johnson.
