This
is to announce the formation of the Movie Club of Cincinnati.
Invitations were
sent to thirteen people and all thirteen accepted membership. Input was
solicited as to what form the club's activities would take and this
represents my best attempt at expressing the wishes of the membership.
A monthly
screening was decided upon, Wednesday was the day chosen and, arbitrarily, the
third Wednesday of each month. Meeting on
Wednesday works well because theaters change some films on Friday, so on
Friday we can determine whether our selection will still be playing. Interest
was also shown in Friday and Sunday afternoons and we may reconsider when we
meet based on our experience with the current meeting schedule.
Choosing
the movie is a heavy
responsibility and a thankless task. I think that the chooser position should
be rotated. I suggest as a process that the chooser notify the members of the
choice by Monday for the Wednesday following. The chooser is under no
obligation to change the choice based on feedback from other members but may
choose to do so. If you don’t care to be a chooser please let me know.
The March theme
is St. Patrick’s Day.
You may wish to wear a funny green hat, green beads, a shamrock, the Blarney
Stone, etc.
We will kick off
the club with a March 16 pot luck at our place.
(1) social hour
4pm to 5pm,
(2) movie at 5pm,
(3) discussion
and further socializing after the movie.
Feel free to
participate in only one or two of the three activities.
