Greetings Liquid Poets. It's early October and we're already looking
forward to our annual holiday party. Most of the details can follow later,
but the most important one needs attention sooner: we need a venue.

If you know of a good location to host this years holiday party, please get
in touch with me and the LP Board, Typically, we aim for December (December
15 seems like a good date), but we're also considering pushing it out to
January to avoid the holiday crunch and have more hosting options.

Let us know what you think and, again, please pass it on if you know a good
location!

Cheers,
Jester

Hello fellow Poets,

As the year winds down we start the plans for next year.  Elections are
coming up and now is your chance to get involved in a leadership role.  We
will be accepting self-nominations between now and the November 1st meeting
at New Belgium. There we will hear from the nominees before the ballots are
emailed out. We will collect the votes and the results will be announced in
December. There are 8 positions and you can nominate yourself for more than
one.

Elected Official Positions:
- President
- Vice President
- Treasurer/Secretary
- Special Events Coordinator
- (4) At-Large Member seats (maybe take on WebMaster, Public Liaison, or
Poetry Slam Coordinator role)

Please submit nominations via president at liquidpoets.com and
vice-president at liquidpoets.com. Descriptions of the positions are outlined
below. Note that Jason Connor has been our trusty Webmaster, but he will be
stepping down so we will be looking for a tech-savvy member to keep our
web-presence strong or at least functional. The positions last from Jan
2019-March 2020 (three month transition period) and require active
participation in monthly meetings, quarterly board meetings, and enthusiasm
to see your club be the best it can be.

I want to encourage all of you to consider nominating yourself for one of
these leadership positions. You may even be relatively new to the club, but
your ideas about what you want from the Liquid Poets are enough to qualify
you. This fellowship of homebrewers depends on all of us.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding the expectations
of any positions. I look forward to a fine slate of potential officers for
the next year.

Cheers,
Jester

Hi everyone,

As part of general housekeeping, the board has updated the by-laws for the
Liquid Poets. This hadn't been done for a solid 10 years (at least
according to modification date), so it's been about time. Doug did a good
job of cleaning up and improving the text and the board has approved his
changes. I'm attaching the latest version for everyone to see.

Aside from a number of spelling corrections, the changes fall into a few
categories:

   - Expanding our craft to include mead, cider, wine, etc
   - Updating the membership dues
   - Clarifying the roles of the officers
   - More clearly identifying special roles, like webmaster and Poetry Slam
   Coordinator.
   - Adding a proposal section to formally ensure that all of us have some
   ability to directly influence club activities.


Please read the attached by-laws and let me and the board know if you have
any questions or concerns.

Cheers,
Jester

Hey Poets;

*BOARD ELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT:*

Elections for leadership positions are coming up in November and we have
only received 2 nominations so far for the 8ish positions. Liquid Poet
meetings and events do not happen without leadership. We currently have
great board members but we like new ideas and we cannot expect the same
folks to run the club every year.  Newer members are encouraged to apply;
No experience needed. If you are interested in *nominating yourself for
President, VP, Sec/Treas, Event Coordinator, or an at-large board position,
please email*; president at liquidpoets.com AND vp at liquidpoets.com

(Board members responsibilities include ~4 board meetings a year where you
discuss club events and bottle share; YUM FUN. Additional delegated or
shared responsibilities include; website design, event coordination,
getting snack/mystery growler for meetings, requesting donations. We aim to
spread out duties and make sure no one feels overwhelmed)

*NOVEMBER MEETING DETAILS:*
November meeting will be at New Belgium Brewery in the All Staff Room. This
room is adjacent to the main taproom. A quick right through the sliding
doors before you get to the silver slide. New Belgium is a great sponsor of
Liquid Poets, so show up early and show them some love back by enjoying one
(or 4) of their many tasty pints.

This month we will be announcing and hearing from the nominees for
leadership positions. Style of the month is 13B; Brown British Ales. Bring
your homebrew, your favorite commercial example, and/or your enthusiasm to
learn. We will also have a mystery "guess they style" growler to test your
palate.

See you all there and as always; plan on getting home safe!


Doug
