Hello Again, We had planned to vote on the 2011 slate of officers at our D-OGS meeting last Wednesday. For a couple of reasons, this vote has been postponed to our December dinner meeting. First and foremost, we still need people to volunteer to serve as Program Vice President and as Secretary. We can't function without these positions, folks! If planning all those programs and lining up speakers sounds overwhelming, the good news is that over a year's worth of program ideas are already in hand. Your main responsibilities for 2011 will be scheduling these programs, securing the meeting place(s) and reminding the speakers ahead of time. If you're considering being our Secretary, needing to be at all eleven of the note-taking meetings may sound unrealistic. It's OK to call on a substitute. We have several capable and experienced members who could help you out if you needed to be away on a first Wednesday. We do have a volunteer for President - Sue McMurray, one of our newest D-OGS members. We are all delighted and grateful for her willingness to step forward and serve. She does have some health concerns to sort out, however, so we want to give her this extra month to make sure that being President is a realistic commitment. If you have questions, or are ready to volunteer, feel free to contact us at _cathyelias@aol.com_ (mailto:cathyelias@aol.com) (or respond to this email directly (if you don't mind everyone else getting to read your message). We look forward to hearing from you! Rob & Cathy Elias Nominating Committee

Good morning.... I just canceled the meeting room CIG was going to use on Saturday, Nov 13th at the Chapel Hill Library  Please remember that CHPL will be undergoing renovations for some 18 months beginning in 2011 and will NOT be available.  It is my hope that we'll continue to find a need for the group, even if only to work on research together. And, just as importantly, that we will find a way to hold CIG meetings with remote access (free, of course) to include members who might want to attend. In this day and age, it seems to me that time, distance and even money shouldn't keep us apart.  Happy Holidays, Nerissa On Nov 03, 2010, at 09:09 AM, HubbellGen@aol.com wrote: The Nov 13 meeting of the CIG has been canceled due to several factors occurring simultaneously. The fall two-day workshop of the NCGS falls on that weekend and as we have usually worked around that date allowing people to attend the state meeting, and because our scheduled speaker is not going to be available, we will not be meeting. I hope everyone who might have come to the CIG will take the opportunity to attend the NCGS Raleigh workshop, it should be excellent and we are looking forward to it. As it stands today, we have no moderator for the upcoming year, no speakers scheduled, and the Chapel Hill Public Library will not be available for us to hold our monthly meetings. Other libraries do not have projectors available for us and so the problems outweigh the benefits of trying to struggle to find a speaker, moderator, and meeting place. So the bottom line is that the CIG is suspending activities, and will of course be given the opportunity to resume as circumstances change again. See you at tonight's D-OGS meeting, perhaps we can talk about some future options for the CIG. Often ideas and opportunities come from unexpected quarters. I'll be happy to answer your questions.
