Greenville, South Carolina - Upstate Monarchs held its first separate Board meeting on July 31st at 5 PM at Earth Fare Super Market. The future Board Meetings will be held quarterly and this is an attempt to separate the business portion of the group from the support discussions in Greenville and Anderson. All UM members are invited to attend the Board meetings but only Active Members can vote on issues. For the Fall season starting in August, Community Meetings will be held monthly in the Anderson and Greenville locations. The Greenville meeting will concentrate on the support and informational mission of the group. The Anderson meeting will have a return visit by Jeanne Nourse, who is an Anderson Occupational and Lymphedema Therapist at AnMed Heath Rehab. Members can attend any of these meetings and only need to attend one meeting per month. Check our Meeting Page and calendar pages for the latest times and locations for all the meetings. Also out of the July Board meeting, members present discussed the possible constitutional changes for the end of 2013 to formally incorporate Community and Board meetings, and a new format for the Group's business cards was approved to address these changes. We will send minutes of the Board meeting to all members by email in the next few days. Please contact Nancy Brown (at contact@upstatemonarch.org) or call the group's phone number, (864) 214-6006, to be sure we have your email address on our group listing. In addition, discussions on possible subjects and speaker's schedule for the Community Meetings in Greenville and Anderson were tentatively agreed to by the members. Our August meetings will feature support group discussions with no particular guest speakers. However, we will consider using a central question for Community Meetings each month, and we want all members' feedback. We will let that feedback drive our speaker selections in the Spring season. We are finalizing more specific details for the Fall schedule and we announce more changes on our Speaker's Schedule page in the next few days. Tentative Schedule for the Fall 2013
