he Annual Meeting of the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society was held on Wednesday, February 10, at the Devon Bank, at 7:00 p.m. Due to some confusion on the part of the bank, we were not able to meet in the auditorium, as in past years, but were sequestered in the reception area outside of the auditorium. Thanks to some creative scrambling, sufficient chairs and tables were found to accommodate our meeting. Fortunately, one wall was blank and white, which enabled us to use it as a makeshift screen for the video presentations we had planned to show during the meeting.

O
n Monday, February 22, which was the first monthly meeting after the adoption of our new bylaws, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a change in the makeup and structure of our committees. It seemed logical that several prior committees overlapped other committees. This produced a level of duplicated work and some confusion as to which committee held sway on a particular topic.

t the Annual Meeting on Wednesday, February 10, the members in attendance elected the 2010-2011 Board of Directors.

Because we’re operating under the newly approved bylaws, this was the last election in which the entire Board would be elected. Hereinafter, approximately half of the Board is required to be elected to a two-year term at each Annual Meeting.
