22 | THE COLONY NEWS | AUGUST 2021 | COMMITTEE NEWS I have to tell you that I am so disappointed. No one, other than Ron Gentile, has sent me any history of their favorite organization. I have no idea how Bingo started, but I bet it was someone's great idea one Friday. How about Karaoke? Bonnie, I bet you had something to do with that. Paula, how about the Sunshine Committee and all of the Ambassadors and how that came about. There are so many committees and organizations here. I am sure each has a little history that goes with it and someone who could call and relate it or write it out. Please forward a short essay on your organization to me. As I continue to inquire, I am finding all sorts of interesting things about The Colony. Join me and the Committee to learn more about The Colony, its past to the present. We could use your help as a writer, photographer or interviewer, and in just about any capacity. Interested? Please call me. By Greg Hill With people beginning to travel again and the pandemic winding down, we have decided to meet by Zoom once a month during the summer months and resume our twice-monthly meetings in September. We're in the process of finalizing the "digital census" which will help us determine what needs people have for communication and communication technology. We will also be participating in the sequence of new member orientation meetings that are coming up shortly. We are also finalizing questions for the new HOA Candidates' interview sessions, which should be held by the end of July and posted after that on YouTube. We've recently sent our headsets in for reconstruction and have purchased two new headsets which will greatly help us in producing Board meetings. We are still seeking camera operators and a Photoshop guru, and continue our work on The Colony website. We invite anyone who may be interested in the committee to attend one of our Zoom meetings to check out what we do and see if you want to join in the fun.
