Good morning, ladies and gentlemen: This is a topic that will bring much discussion, and some are not going to agree with this and that is fine, because as ladies and gentlemen we all will not always agree on things but one thing we can do is agree to disagree. We can have positive dialog without anger and attitude. It is the opinion from some that as ladies and gentlemen that certain items especially clothing are meant for certain thigs and should only be worn for that purpose. Now, this was the way of life in the 30,40,50,60, and early 70's. but as time went on many things that intertwined, became mixed and/or incorporated. I personally feel that as ladies and gentlemen certain things are to be used for their intended purpose and should not be mixed or introduced as a new trend. For me things like: 1.wearing tennis with suits, 2. wearing gym clothing as everyday attire un public, 3. wearing bedroom attire in public 4. men carrying bags that resemble women's bags i.e. purse type bags 5. men wearing hats inside public places 6. women wearing sleep bonnets in [public 7. men wearing baseball caps with suits 8. people on speaker phone in the general public 9. people putting the whole life on social media 10. parking in no parking pr prohibited parking spaces because you feel you are just going to be in there a minute 11. men not opening doors for elderly and women 12. women wearing men athletic clothing 13. men and women gossiping about other people 14. people who give unwanted and unsolicited advice because they feel their opinions matter 15. men who do not pump gas for ladies or elderly people these are just 15 tings that I feel as ladies and gentlemen we need to correct and work on. Again, I am not saying that I am right ro anyone is wrong, these are my personal thoughts. But I am curious to hear what your thoughts are and what you feel as ladies and gentlemen we need to improve on. Remember these is NO Right Or Wrong, this is a discussion.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Yesterday we held our weekly video meeting, and it was truly a great meeting. We had some laughter, some fun, and some serious and important discussions; overall, the meeting was very good, and we had some connections issues for some members but still a great meeting. During our meeting we discuss the attendance and being more active in the society. One thing that was mentioned, was the day and time of the video meeting. For those that attended yesterday it was not they never wanted attend previous ones, but rather the time and day of the meeting was an issue for some. I truly not only enjoy these video meetings, but I feel they are important to facilitate the growth of this society. I understand that there are time zones, and locations for our members that live outside the United States can be an issue for some, and this is why I am willing to facilitate more than one meeting to help accommodate everyone, we can try to make these meetings as available as possible to those who truly want tot to participate in them. So, I want to propose four issues that I hope that all members will take the time to read and vote but also give their thoughts in the comments on days and times, as well as if you would like specific topics to be laid out and announced ahead of the meetings. Also do you want the name of the meetings to be changed and what you might like to label the meetings? Please vote and leave your comments below: 1.Give the meeting a more inviting and suitable name like " The Society Lounge" 2. A more suitable day or maybe have multiple days to meet. 3. the best times on these days 4. Do you like the idea of specific topics to be discuss announced and posted prior to the schedule date
