FIOS"A Gaelic word that means knowledge." Stan Usovicz is the former Mayor of Salem Massachusetts and now works as regional director of external affairs for Verizon. He will speak to us this week about of the growth of fiber optics and what options are available through Verizon. June 17, 2008  Jim Vanderpol and I are meeting soon about whether and how to create a way for our retired members with more time and fewer funds (not to mention other members or potential members in the same financial position) to participate actively in the club based on time spent in "service above self" in lieu of some of the financial burden. We'd love some help in crafting a proposal to the board. We're starting from a concept called "Timebanking." If you are interested in helping, please let Jim and I and know. Other club members are also soon to continue work exploring our next major fundraiser, a duck race on the Merrimack. I've done some preliminary investigating and it looks promising. Right after our first club meeting in July on the 10th, I'd like to spend a half hour meeting on this to start to get us organized. Interested? Please let me know...
