Mike's Minute
Happy New Year to one and all. As I look ahead, 2025 brings us some challenges and opportunities.
A new editor for our newsletter is at the top of our to-do list. Until then, the monthly Semaphore edition will take on an abbreviated format and be delivered by email just like you are reading now. You will, however, also be able to find a copy of this Semaphore email on the FVD website.
Our meeting locations will continue to move around the division geography. The Gary Morava Center is always available to us but the room rental fee is significant. The Glenview Public Library allows us to use their facility for free, but it is not always available. Please check with local facilities (Library, churches, etc.) near you for possible meeting locations. We need to be proactive on this topic because of limited funds in the FVD coffer.
Denis Zamirowski, Jim Landwehr and I installed a display of RR artifacts and Division information in the lobby display case at the Mount Prospect Public Library. We have the entryway spot for the month of January. The MPPL has a very nice meeting room just off the main entrance, and it may be available for us to use IF we have a member who resides in Mt. Prospect. Is that You? Please let me know.
The FVD BoD began discussions about a summer outing or excursion. Any ideas? Let me know.
On the topic of suggestions, the BoD is very interested in yours. In a couple of days you will receive a brief questionnaire by email. Your responses are vital to shaping our activities. Please take a couple of minutes to help us plot a course for the future. We need your inputs.
Finally, I’d like to thank each and every member for their participation and support. I appreciate this more than you know. May all your signals be green. Best regards, MH
