The SenCom Board of Directors
cordially invites you to our MEMBERS-ONLY Annual Meeting on Friday, May 9, 2025, from noon until 3 p.m. at Lakeview Village. Lunch will be served at noon, and attendees can start arriving at about 11:30. We will be meeting in the Treetop Room, located on the 5th floor of the Southridge Building, 14001 West 92nd St, Lenexa, KS (see directions and maps below).
This meeting will feature a free luncheon plus drawings for many door prizes. The business portion will include the election of officers for the positions of Secretary and Treasurer.
Presentation Topic:
“Tropical Costa Rica”
Presenter:
Charlotte Drayer, Road Scholar Ambassador
Charlotte majored in anthropology/archeology as an undergraduate. When she was 40, and her sons were mature enough to go home to an empty house after school, she became an elementary teacher and then a district coordinator of school improvement. Charlotte, a Road Scholar Ambassador, loves to learn about everything that contributes to the development and changes in cultures. Because Road Scholar is a non-profit organization that focuses on learning, and because the people who choose Road Scholar programs are interesting as well, she has taken 23 Road Scholar programs, both domestic and international, since retiring. She has just returned from her 6th continent, Australia. She used to travel with her husband, Kirby, but she has been a widow for 2 1/2 years, so she travels by herself now.
An RSVP is required by Midnight, Wednesday, April 30, 2025, if you plan to attend, so we can notify the caterer of how many will be there. You can RSVP by email to Lou Risley at sencomprez@gmail.com or call her at (913) 298-0575.
Your RSVP must be received no later than midnight on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, or there will be a $15 charge at the door.

A PDF of the presentation is attached.
I have also attached the PDF of my FB security presentation in case you can use some of the info for your class. I ended up with a gazillion resources and have a couple of more that I am going to use to update the presentation. I am enjoying the Edge Collections feature to keep track of websites I find to use at meetings, presentations, etc. I created one for the YouTube links I like–works better for me than Favorites.
I sent the Goodreads question to Steve Costello and have attached his presentation. There is a community page that might be considered some type of social media. He has the distinction of belonging to 4 groups in Florida, President of some of them, and having the groups disband.
Goodreads – Community Page
This page has links to Groups, Discussions, Quotes, Ask the Author, Trivia, Quizzes, Creative Writing, People, and Events.
I don’t know much about these links, but some might be interested.
