Saturday, November 14, we held our annual meeting with our members, telling them how well we're doing after a year of renewed leadership. Lorenzo found out how many of us volunteered during the year, seeing it as a sign of health. Ven told us how much we spent over our revenues, hinting that perhaps someone could make a donation. Guy mentioned that he started a board matching fund, aimed at doubling any donations made until the end of the year, to show our commitment. Who knows, we could be surprised and have to revise our goal (yes, it's a limited fund)!
This year we gave the Harvey Award to our special couple Matt and Mark. If you have been at the Halloween party, well, you know how good they've been to us, but in addition to that, Mark has revived the Social Committee to motivate us to organize events, and Matt takes care of the web site, in addition to his leading of our successful Fourth of July gathering. Of course, I forgot everything when I spoke about them at the meeting and said they were my model couple. After all, where else would I meet couples?
We ended the meeting with a brief talent show. I like a group where it is possible to show what you do on the side, like singing, and writing poetry.
Many of us then walked to Home Restaurant for dinner. Bob noticed that their logo is in the same lettering as the Coca-Cola logo. I noticed that the final e looked strangely like an o. One thing I really like of Discovery dinners at the restaurant, is that the bill is always paid in full at the end!
