Dear All, No such luck: I sent a clarification that the meeting will indeed be at 1:00 (that is, Saturday 3/18 at Provincial Ballroom South 1:00pm – 2:30pm), no refreshments, although we could change this in future….

Changes in the Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies and the question of membership (Michael Fuller) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 04:57:12 +0000 From: Michael Fuller <mafuller@uci.edu<mailto:mafuller@uci.edu>> To: "listserv@mail.songyuan.org<mailto:listserv@mail.songyuan.org>" <listserv@mail.songyuan.org<mailto:listserv@mail.songyuan.org>> Subject: [Song-Yuan Listserv] Changes in the Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies and the question of membership Message-ID: <BN6PR06MB241901E0A9C0C1AB43B614BED7240@BN6PR06MB2419.namprd06.prod.outlook.com<mailto:BN6PR06MB241901E0A9C0C1AB43B614BED7240@BN6PR06MB2419.namprd06.prod.outlook.com>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Dear Colleagues, As you perhaps know, the society was required to incorporate in order to have a tax ID to be paid by JSTOR and Project MUSE. We slowly are coming to terms with this change. First, we have more money, and second, we now have the responsibilities of being a non-profit corporation. With money, we can organize more activities beyond the publishing of the journal. But an abstract "we" does not organize: actual people do. Thus the members of the corporation (72 in all) approved changing the bylaws to create two new officers: a president who will be tasked with planning ways to spend money, and a secretary (split off from the treasurer) who will have the responsibilities of making sure that we follow our bylaws (more or less) in our activities. We therefore need volunteers willing to serve as candidates for these new positions (which are elected by the board). If you are interested, please let us know. We certainly should discuss this during the meeting at the AAS, for those of you who will be able to attend. Another major change that comes with being a corporation is the nature of membership in the society. At present, with membership being equaled to subscribing to the journal, we have a dismal count of 72 members. It may be that many people have access to the journal through their university and thus do not subscribe. We have created a PDF form that is specifically a MEMBERSHIP form. If you are coming to the lunch meeting of the society, we hope that you will fill it out and bring your checkbook to update your membership. I hope the weather does not deter you from getting to Toronto. See you soon. Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
