Nominations needed

Posted on by

This is the last call for nominations for President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. While we have one nominee each for President, Secretary, and Treasurer at this time we have none for Vice President. We can use more than one nomination for all of the offices.

The elections will be held at the Triennial Meeting to be held in late August or early September, and nominations need to be received by June 27th at the latest so they can be included in the next newsletter. That will be published 60 days ahead of the Triennial Meeting.

You can learn more about the duties of each office at VioletteRegistry.com/constitution-bylaws.

Contact President@VioletteFamily.org to make a nomination or to volunteer for an office.

April 2020 newsletter

Posted on by

We have published a newsletter in April 2020 telling members about new Violette-related books available from Amazon and setting the state for a Triennial Meeting, probably in August. You can download the newsletter using this link or by clicking on the cover image at the right.

On the front page we announce publication of the historic The Descendants of Francois Violet. First published in 1984 by Rita Violette Lippe (VFA #1), this book went out of print in 2008 but there has been a demand for more copies. The newsletter tells the story of how this edition came into being and how to get it.

Other topics in the newsletter discuss the upcoming election of officers at the Triennial Meeting. We are asking for nominations for all of the four offices.

The newsletter is being distributed electronically via this newsletter, which will be sent to all members with an email address on file. A printed version will go in the mail within the next few days to the rest.

In the new year

Happy New Year to all Violettes and their families!

Do you want to have a Violette Family Reunion in 2020? It is time in the regular cycle of things for us to have one. The last was in 2014; we did not have one in 2017. We just need someone or a group to act as hosts, and we can provide them with a lot of help in organizing and carrying it out. A New England location would work best for the majority of members. See VioletteRegistry.com/Reunions/reunion-guidelines for info on holding a Reunion.

2020 will be the year for our Triennial Meeting, whether it is held at a Reunion or virtually. That means it is also time for elections of officers. Our current officers were elected in 2014 and would like for someone else to take over. Four offices are up for election: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Please think about it and suggest potential nominees to an officer. Contact info is at VioletteRegistry.com/VioletteRegistry.com/organization/officers/.

Lets keep in touch. Are you missing?

You know how it is with families – when cousins only see each other for weddings and funerals it is easy to not be close. And when your children and theirs start having children the distance seems to get greater. We have so much going on in our own lives.

Well, the Violette Family Association may not have been the best “cousin” for staying in touch. Our interactions with you have been sporadic over the last years – usually when we have something to say about Reunions.  Continue reading →
