Last spring, the Long-Range Planning Committee, chaired by Kevin Rooney, submitted a detailed report to the NSCS Board. A number of this group's suggestions have already been initiated-such as a revised version of the Society's purpose and the implementation of our current three-year concert cycle. A major portion of that committee's recommendations is related to our By-Laws. An ad hoc By-Laws Committee is currently meeting to consider these proposals and hopes to submit its report to the Board at the March 5 meeting. Later in the spring, the revised By-Laws--as approved by the Board--will be presented to the Society's members for their consideration. Members of this Committee are Len Barker, Joe Fargo, David Hunt, Tom Keller, Inge Kistler, Philip Martin, John Shea, and Harry Vroegh.

 

The following lines were written by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, an Indian poet who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and was knighted in 1915:

"God respects me when I work,

But He loves me when I sing."

(Thanks to fellow Cornhusker Cecilia Davis for bringing this quotation to us.)
