<div dir="ltr">DPRG folk - this is a reminder that the survey of DPRG members' preferred day and time to hold our monthly meeting will expire on Monday. On Monday we will tally responses and pick the new meeting day and time and announce the date of the March meeting. This survey is the opportunity for club members to express standing conflicts or preferences and influence the choice. The leading candidate (by a vote of 1) is currently the Third Thursday of the month at 10am.<div><br></div><div>If you can't find the the survey, or feel you should have received one but didn't, please let me know - you can reply to the list or email me at <a href="mailto:paul.bouchier@gmail.com">paul.bouchier@gmail.com</a>. If you're a new or renewing member and want the survey, please email me directly so I can get it out to you promptly.</div><div><br></div><div>The original email, which explains the background, is below.</div><div><br>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>Paul Bouchier</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Paul Bouchier</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:paul.bouchier@gmail.com">paul.bouchier@gmail.com</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Feb 14, 2024 at 6:34 AM<br>Subject: DPRG monthly meeting resumes - Day / Time Survey<br>To: DPRG <<a href="mailto:dprglist@lists.dprg.org">dprglist@lists.dprg.org</a>><br></div><br><br><div dir="ltr">DPRG folk - based on feedback from members at the annual meeting last Saturday, we will be resuming monthly in-person meetings. The board is considering changing the time and/or which Saturday we will meet at Dallas Makerspace. This will be a return to the pre-covid practice of in-person meetings centered around a topic or activity, but with support for our remote attendees. I will be sending a survey to all DPRG members-in-good-standing asking for their meeting-time preferences and we will tally responses next Monday Feb 19.<div><br></div><div><div>TL;DR: We want to hold meetings in the North entry meeting room of Dallas Makerspace - it's better for us - easier to get members and visitors into the facility. Doing so requires we move the meeting time or date to avoid standing conflicts. Since time immemorial, DPRG meetings were on the second Saturday of the month, at noon. We propose to change that.</div><div><br></div><div><shameless promotion> :-)</div><div>In accordance with the principle that club members should decide how their club is run, the survey will only go to current members in good standing. There's still time to renew your membership at <a href="https://www.dprg.org/renew-your-membership/" target="_blank">https://www.dprg.org/renew-your-membership/</a> or to join as a new member at <a href="https://www.dprg.org/become-a-new-member/" target="_blank">https://www.dprg.org/become-a-new-member/</a> </div><div>Check your membership here: <a href="https://www.dprg.org/dprg-members/" target="_blank">https://www.dprg.org/dprg-members/</a></div><div>Contact me or Doug Paradis if you have any problems.</div><div></shameless promotion> :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Have a say in the running of your club. Thanks for helping your board pick the best time for the most members. Let me know if you don't receive the survey - it will come out shortly - or if you have problems with it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Paul Bouchier</div><div>DPRG President (new-as-of-Saturday)</div></font></div></div>
