Regional Ramblings |
There is not much to report on the National level this month. I have no yet
received the nominations for the Publications Recognition Program (Newsletter
and Web-Pages awards). We are half way between AMC
meetings, so nothing new there. Things have even been pretty quiet in the Region.
I could almost forget about a column this month, but then your Editor would
be mad at me. (S)he would have to find something else to fill the page and I
don't suppose you have sent anything in.
About half my AMC e-mail this week has been about one word. In reviewing the
minutes of the last meeting we discovered a word that generated a lot of discussion.
I have made up a puzzle for you to amaze and amuse your friends (and to show
them how smart you are), here it is.
Question: If a sub-committee meets bimonthly and meets with the board biannually
(in place of their regular meeting), how many times does the sub-committee meet
between board meetings?
Tell your coworkers that you will pay for lunch for the first one to get it
right. WARNING: Check your dictionary first.
It is only about a month until the Annual Gathering, Philly Phrolics, in Philadelphia.
I hope to see a lot of you there. You should have already registered for the
