    <\/a>President’s Report<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \"College<\/p>\n

    Our Annual Meeting was held in the Muskie Archives on Friday, June 8, 2018, at 5:00 PM. Within this newsletter you will find detailed reports on new student and alumni members, the treasurer\u2019s report, the programs we supported, and the bestowal of the Distinguished Service Awards.<\/p>\n

    One of the most important actions taken was the approval of a revision to the Bylaws.\u00a0<\/b>The Bylaws stipulate that the Executive Committee shall review and revise, as necessary, the Bylaws every three years. We took our task seriously and hope that the latest version is an improvement. We are always open to suggestions. Please reach out if you have an idea for consideration.<\/p>\n

    The highlight of the meeting was the bestowal of the Distinguished Service Award to husband and wife faculty Georgia Nigro and Robert Farnsworth. You will find the description of the presentation in Karen Finocchio Lubeck\u2019s article in this newsletter. The Annual Meeting is always special for all of us on the Executive Committee as we get to meet, socialize with, and get feedback from the College Key members whom we serve. I cannot end this short summary without acknowledging the efforts of your Executive Committee. Karen Finocchio Lubeck \u201992, Carol Spencer \u201974, and Flora Chan \u201911 have worked extremely hard to carry out their duties and to enhance the offerings of the College Key. We are amply supported by Meredith LaChapelle and Marianne Nolan Cowan \u201992 from the college. Without the talents of these people, we would not be able to provide the services to our membership and to the college that we do. We also appreciate the support of you, our members, as we continue to find ways to give back to our alma mater and to support its students as we were supported in our undergraduate days.<\/p>\n

    My best from Maine,
    \nJeff Sturgis \u201969, President<\/p>\n
