A Vision... or Two or Three or Maybe More...      by Becky Adams

CES?   My vision of CES, though, is based on the organization I first knew and belonged to, one where happiness and spontaneity were the key words at meetings, not grousing from members stuck back in the corners.

I remember an organization where the minutes of every meeting, executive board and regular, were written up in the newsletter. I remember an organization where every year there were a number of activities that members participated in — from fashion shows to dinners with spouses to theaters-in-the-round, to shopping trips on Sunday mornings to picnics, to MBTI classes, you name it—people participated in them and most everyone had a good time.

We averaged 20 to 26 a meeting — check the old newsletters and see who was there, we recorded them by name. That's the organization that makes up my vision of CES.

But Cassandra crops up again — unless there is a revitalization of spirit and a return to full and hearty participation, you will see CES continue to slide downward to the point where — as we are now — there are no volunteers for officer positions.

These visions? Which one?

It is up to you. You will make the decision by your actions and your demands on both CES and Tri-Ess.
