Volume 18, Number 3 ________________________________________November 1999
Message from the President
Hello,
I would first like to thank all the members who attended our
October meeting. I was disappointed by the turnout, though, considering that
the meeting was about the society and was paid for by the society. For those of
you that were unable to make it, we covered the bylaws and some members
volunteered for committees. The BMET field has changed a lot since the society
was first started. There have been some revisions to the bylaws to include
those changes.
I went into this meeting with hopes that the membership
would pull together and collectively work on making the meetings better.
Looking back at the end of last year and the slow start of this year, I can
only draw one conclusion. There is a small group of members dedicated to making
something of this society. Out of a membership of 150 people, roughly 30 or
less show up for the meetings. The reasons for coming to a meeting vary, but
there must be some reason why people are still willing to be members. The
dedicated members along with the current officers are going to work towards
improvement. You're only getting out, what you put in.
Please plan to
attend the November meeting. Details are enclosed.
