LSC Membership Minute

by Jeanne Foster, Manager, Membership and SIN SIG

When my grandmother prepared a holiday feast, she would sometimes recruit a grandchild to, as she would say, “Throw an eye in that pot on the back burner.” We all knew that meant we should lift the lid, take a look, and, if needed, lower the heat and stir!

Belonging to STC is kind of like preparing a feast. Many volunteers work together to produce something spectacular. Some members (like my grandmother) fill leadership roles. Some members work behind the scenes (like my grandmother’s table-setters and dish-washers). Some members need an invitation to get involved, to throw an eye in the pot.

SIN SIG. If you are shy, inactive, new, curious, looking for your niche, bored, or just have nothing else begging for your attention, join us for a Shy, Inactive, and New Special Interest Group (SIN SIG) get-together. We meet each month before the LSC meeting starts where we learn a little more about each other and the benefits of STC membership.

We’ll meet at 5:45 p.m. at the September 6 meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dallas-Addison. You won’t want to miss this one. Joining us is Kathryn Poe, who will share information about Competitions and Superstars.

Farewell and Welcome. I hope to get to know many of you better as I move from the Hospitality registration desk to the Membership manager role. If you’re afraid you’ll be missing our past Membership Manager Elisa Miller, be assured she will never let that happen in her new role as first vice-president.

We bid a fond farewell to Lynne M. Cooke who has transferred out of LSC as a result of her move to West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

And we extend a warm welcome to our new member, Rebecca Marmaduke.

And one more thing…We’ve lost touch with some of our members. Throw an eye in this LSC pot. E-mail me at membership@stc-dfw.org if you have contact information for any of the following people:

Daryl S. Bowdoin Rebecca L. Carr Marilyn Gatti

Richard L. Hightower Kristin B. Kirkham Jenny G. Whitley
