Chapter 1776 Membership Meetings

Digital Retirees Association Chapter 1776 had a meeting on October 25, 2007 at the Sudbury Senior Center.  Guest Speaker was Dan Tymann, Executive Vice President for Advancement, Communications and Technology from Gordon College, Wenham, MA.

Dan talked about the groundbreaking event for the Ken Olsen Arts and Science Center at Gordon College which took place on June 18, 2006. During his presentation, Dan played portions of the DVD that was prepared in advance of the event for the purpose of being part of the Tribute to Ken Olsen program, which was held in the campus Chapel. Many of the people at this meeting (Oct. 25) had not been able to attend the event on June 18, so they were especially delighted to learn about the very special tribute made to Ken Olsen. Dan brought many "Tribute to Ken Olsen" mugs as gifts. Plus copies of the DVD were available.

We were honored to have 2 hp-REM (Hewlett Packard -Retired Employees of Massachusetts) Board of Directors present. The event was well attended and people were most impressed with the guest speaker, Dan Tymann.

After a short break, Bob Moore, President, talked about the process of voting on a new name for our organization. This was a very successful meeting.

Marilyn Goodrich, Chairperson, Chapter 1776
