This is the first bi-monthly issue of the Scimitar, and I am sure that we will have some growing pains as
we go through the transition from monthly to bi-monthly publication.
The area of greatest concern will most likely be in ensuring that upcoming events are accurately covered so that participation doesn't diminish because of lack of advance notice.
This will require that all upcoming events are planned well in advance of the event date so that our members maybe informed. The event calendar will cover four months so that there should not be any loss in keeping everyone informed.
Article authors and event chairman should plan to have date and times set at least
four months in advance. By so doing when the next publication comes out detailed ads may be included so that all know what is going
on about the Temple.
The Unit liaison officers must be diligent in getting monthly updated information
to the Units, especially in the area of scheduled participation during the summer months. We are looking into ways to ensure
that the active Unit members get updated information timely, and along those lines it is imperative that my office have updated Unit
membership information.
In last month's column I said I would include the list of committee and board
members in this article. That information is presented below.
