Sports for Active Seniors Annual Meeting

media release: The SAS Annual Meeting will be held at the Fitchburg Library at 5530 Lacy Road (just east of Fish Hatchery Road) on Thursday November 14 beginning at 11:00 AM. It will be a potluck, eating at noon. Please bring a dish to pass. SAS will provide plates, flatware, coffee & lemonade. Our meeting room is on the second floor but there is an elevator as well as stairway leading to it.

The general meeting will include discussion of eliminating the Post Office Box and sending annual memberships directly to the treasurer. There will be discussion about interest in celebrating SAS’s 35th anniversary in May and possible locations for it. Thoughts about including card games and social get-togethers in the absence of typical Winter weather, may be discussed.

The annual dues will be raised to $25.00 and there will be an election of officers. There will be a MAJOR change of SAS officers. Three members have volunteered to run for the positions of: President: Sue Poehlman, Membership: Pam Danielsen, and Hospitality: Phyllis Covey. BUT, there are still three positions to fill: Vice-President, Programs, and Archives. Please consider helping in one of those positions. SAS CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT LEADERS!

We have also recently lost activity leaders for Camping and Golfing. There has been a need for leaders in Bowling, Snow Shoeing, Downhill and Cross-Country Skiing,Ice Skating, Mall Walking, and Indoor Tennis for the Winter. Summer Activities need leaders for Canoeing/Kayaking.

If you can arrive a little earily for this meeting to help us set up the room and haul supplies to it, it would be greatly appreciated. Dues, of $25.00, for 2025 will be accepted at the meeting.
