invitation for a joint meeting with Swampscott

 

 

Club Members,

 

President Ray was called by the president of the Swampscott Rotary, Harris Newton, with an invitation for a joint meeting with their Club.  They are going to have a speaker, Khaled Khatib, who was the cinemetographer on the Oscar winning film about Syria, "The White Helmets".  He is going to be speaking at their regular meeting on Wednesday, March 8, 2017, at 12:15.  Their website says that they meet at Mission on the Bay, but if a large crowd went to hear this speaker, the venue could change. Given the serious nature of the Syrian conflict, and the Oscar given to the film, this speaker could be very interesting and timely.

 

I have written to ask the board if they thought that we would want to have our meeting on Wednesday the 8th with their club, instead of Thursday, the 9th.  Swampscott needs to know in order to make arrangements.
 

Here are two links which describe both the film and Mr. Khatib.  Please review them so that we can get an idea if the club wants to attend the joint meeting with them that week or not. You may have to cut and paste these addresses into your browser in order to view the information.

 

 

 

If the vote is to go on Wednesday, then I would email the whole club and ask members to identify if they are going to go or not, so that Swampscott can make plans.
