The Wednesday Morning Group Home Fall 2014/Winter 2015 Speakers Calendar Important Info Childcare Newsletters Past Speakers In the News Clubs Important WMG Details Take Note As a courtesy to our speakers, please remember to: turn off cell phones (or turn them to vibrate) not do handiwork (knitting, needlepoint, etc.) while the speaker is talking make every attempt to arrive by 9:55 am remain until the end of the lecture unless you have an emergency or a childcare issue dispose of any food or drink trash at the conclusion of the lecture remember that the speakers are our guests; we need to offer them our respect EVERY member should sign up to bring snacks at least two times per semester. A snack binder will be circulated and will remain available at the treasurers’ table. Please try to arrive early on your snack contribution days so that your delectable treats are ready and waiting for our members to enjoy. The Cedar Lane driveway/entrance is ONE WAY. Please be sure to proceed to the right even if you intend to park on the left side/upper deck. During lectures, please limit yourself to ONE QUESTION PER MEMBER that is free of anecdotes, personal references, follow-up questions or speeches. Babies under 4 months are welcome in the chapel; however, if they make sounds (happy or sad) or have relentless hiccups, please take them into the coffee area until they are quieted. Speaker selection occurs annually in the Spring. There is a meeting open to all members at which potential speakers are discussed. Members do not need to have a relationship with a speaker in order to procure him or her; many are approached as "cold calls." Our speakers are not paid, and any member may recommend a speaker. The WMG Newsletter comes out three times a year and includes speaker recaps. Members are encouraged to write at least one per year; a signup sheet will be circulated. WMG also maintains several email listservs: WednesdayMorningGroup@yahoogroups.com sends weekly updates to the current membership. WMGBB@yahoogroups.com is an open forum that includes current and former members and serves as an electronic bulletin board. This listserv is unmoderated. Anyone may post events, requests for referrals, further discussion about speakers and general information sharing by typing an email and addressing it to WMGBB@yahoogroups.com. WednesdayMorningGroupCoop@yahoogroups.com provides information pertaining to our cooperative nursery. You will be added to this listserv if you have a child in the co-op. Our directory is a wonderful way to get to know our membership; be sure to submit your information. WMG does not provide directory information to any third party, and no one is authorized to use this information for anything other than personal or WMG purposes without the express written consent of the Chair. Want to get involved in planning and administration because volunteering is every organization's biggest strength? Contact Ilene Rosen (ifrosen@me.com) for a multitude of opportunities. WMG plans some wonderful events throughout the year. We host a holiday party, a Cinco de Mayo fiesta, new member teas, movie clubs, hikes and more. This is a wonderful way to get to know WMGers outside of the chapel! Remember to mark your calendars the moment an announcement is made.
