Smith Club of Hampshire County News

Greetings, Hampshire County Alumnae -

I am writing on behalf of the new Board to let you know of some changes we are making to the Newsletter (no, we haven't forgotten!!). ;)

In an effort to be more environmentally conscious (a.ka. "green") and budget-friendly, we are asking that Hampshire County alumna with email access accept an eNewsletter in Dec/Jan and again in June/July. Currently there are approximately 200-area alum (members and non-members) who do not have email access and they will continue to receive a hardcopy via mail in order to keep abreast of Club events. New members/renewals going forward will have the option to opt into a hardcopy (for one of the two mailings) as Ruthann Lipman, our Membership Chair, has added this feature to the new membership form.

As a side note, the Club has had many exciting events ranging from the President's Picnic in August to the Andrew DeVries Studio Tour in October and the New York City Bus Trip in November. If you are interested in becoming more involved and/or are eagerly awaiting new events, please feel free to attend our Board Meeting on Th., December 4, 2008, at Campus Center Lounge 205 (6:15-7:30p). In the event you are not available tomorrow evening we are planning a group to help Laurie Wyman '84 and the Interfaith Cot Shelter on Sat., December 13, 2008, and would welcome your attendance and enthusiasm (what a great way to represent Smith in our immediate community!).

Here is the schedule for the remaining Board Meetings (usually 1st Thursday of the month in Dewey Hall Common Room unless otherwise noted):

Jan. 8, 2009 (2nd Thursday of the month due to New Year's Day)
Feb. 5, 2009

Please feel free to contact me directly should you want more information on Club events. Also check out our website http://smithsites.alumnae.net/homepages/clubs/hcsc for Board info (filled/unfilled positions), event pictures and membership form.

Autumn
