TRANSCRIPT
GENERAL MEETING: Wednesday, February 1, 2017 PROGRAM: Birthday Luncheon
WHERE: Doubletree by Hilton, 210 Holiday Court, Annapolis, MD WHEN: Cocktails at 11:30 am Luncheon at 12:30 pm
General meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month except February, July, and August.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE: Patience Chaplin (410-224-2044) [email protected]
Happy Valentine’s Day to a club full of sweethearts!
I, for one, am so looking forward to our big February Birthday Luncheon on February 1, 2017. We will gather for a
luncheon extravaganza at the Doubletree Hotel in Annapolis starting at 11:30 am, a delicious lunch, with lots of prizes to
celebrate our 32nd birthday - an all-around uplifting afternoon of fun, food, and camaraderie!
The business end of my position dictates that I inform those of you unable to attend last month’s general meeting of the
following. It has come to my attention that Standing Rule #5 is in violation of both our own Bylaws and Robert's Rules
of Order. We cannot operate with standing rules that conflict with our Bylaws. Until we rectify this violation, we will
revert back to our earlier rule for membership: “New Annapolitans is open to residents who have moved to the greater
Annapolis area within two years of applying for membership” (Page 1 of our Directory).
Those of us who obtained membership through the "significant life-changing personal circumstance" (Amended
December 3, 2014), will be grandfathered in and are members in good standing for as long as we pay our annual dues.
The amendment made to Standing Rule #5 should have been in the Bylaws. Furthermore, the wording of any proposed
amendment to Bylaws and Standing Rules must be clearly defined and not ambiguous. I thank you for understanding this
course correction and I promise to keep you posted.
We have some wonderful programs coming up, stay tuned!
I’ll be looking for you ~

Card Groups
BRIDGE – BEGINNER & BEYOND (Mondays
1:30 pm – 3:30 pm)
Barbara Trotter (410-956-4720)
We are a group that meets every Monday from 1:30
pm-3:30 pm in the Park Place party room. We began
as a group of rusty bridge players who had played in
the past but needed instruction in catching up and
starting again. We have taken lessons and a number
are still pursuing improvement with lessons at the
Severna Park Bridge Club. We are low-key talking
about bidding, replaying the hands, and helping one
another learn. No pressure…just a fun group! You
must however, have a working knowledge of bridge
basics in the current style of Audrey Grant or similar
author/teacher as this group is not for someone who
has never played before.
Emails are sent out every Wednesday and you must
respond with an email by Saturday if you wish to play
on Monday. You will receive an email indicating your
response was received. We are going to try “first
come, first serve” in signing up to play until we have
full tables. Those who sign up after that will be put on
a substitute list and will be contacted. The number of
tables is NOT limited as long as there are 4 people for
each. Having complete tables makes playing bridge
so much more fun and challenging. We can keep
score properly which helps our bidding skills.
Consider joining us on Monday afternoons.

after every four hands. Each month an invitation is
sent via Evite to determine who will play. You also
can respond by email or phone. Tables are filled on a
first-come basis. If tables are full, you will be placed
on the list of substitutes for that month. Check with us
to make sure your name is on the Evite list and feel
free to contact us with any questions.

New Interest Group Launching!
The New Entrepreneurs Think Tank will hold its first
meeting in early April and encourages all interested
members to sign up now. Have you dreamed about
starting a business? Turning a pastime into a paying

solving platform? If you’ve owned a business in the
past, come share your experience and advice. If
you’re just curious, join the exploration and ask
questions!
The group will meet monthly in member homes, and
will initially be hosted by the leaders, Natalie
Canavor (author, consultant, and freelance writer) and
Rebecca Pearson (practicing artist and serial
entrepreneur). In addition to sharing ideas,
experience, and inspiring conversation, we anticipate
guest speakers and an occasional field trip to explore
marketing, business planning, using online media, and
lots more based on member interest.

planning this interest group. We’ll announce the first

recollections from our childhood, adolescence, and
adulthood allow us to share ourselves with others in a
safe environment. All things shared by others are
agreed to be held in confidence.
Although this is a great way to renew your interest in
writing, or further develop your writing skills, the
focus is not on writing style or expertise. There is no
critiquing of the writing, only sharing with supportive
friends. You are not required to write a paper for your
first visit. Contact Stephanie for meeting specifics
and/or to be placed on our email list.
SPANISH CONVERSATION GROUP
Darlene Duchene (410-991-2199)
Patti Muir (410-849-2542)
This is a lively group of women, many of whom are
native speakers of Spanish. Others are married to
native speakers of Spanish, have lived in Spanish
speaking countries for several years, or want to
refresh their language skills. We meet for lunch at
local Latin American restaurants to enjoy each other’s
company and to speak Spanish. Once on the mailing
list, you will be notified of future get togethers.
TENNIS ALL-COMERS
Maryann Gosnell (240-997-0256) [email protected]
Arlene Gletow (551-427-0533)
The All-Comers Tennis Group meets every Monday
at the Brigade Sports Complex (BSC). We all play in
the 3.0-3.5 level. We use SignUpGenius to organize
the players for each Monday. There is a charge to
play at the BSC, and guests (those who are not
Authorized Patrons) pay an additional $7 per person.
We have moved indoors at the Brigade, and play at
9:00 am- 11:30 am and/or 2:00 pm-3:30pm. If you
would like more information or would like to join our
group, contact Maryann Gosnell or Arlene Gletow.
WOMEN ON WATER (WOW)
Linda King (703-599-9646) [email protected] Anne Bastian (301-767-7754) [email protected]
It may be too cold to sail, but 25 sailors had a great
time thinking about the water in between meeting and
greeting new and old friends at the lovely home of
Linda King in Arnold December 5th. There was fine
food and drink and conversation and lots of laughter!
Ideas discussed were about chartering a sailboat on
the Bay, chartering a sailboat in the islands,
Watermark cruise to St Michael’s, and some kayak
venues. We hope the Woodwind schooners will also
be going out next year.
Excursions to Jug Bay to visit the Osprey nests and
Osprey banding and a tour of Poplar Island are among
other ideas.
We hope to get in a luncheon during the winter
months, so stay tuned!
Keep warm and think of blue waters and sunshine!!
