My wife gives talks on various genealogy subjects, and recently she was
asked to speak to a senior citizen's association.
She said that this is one of those clubs where the members go to hear the
talk whether they really care or not; it's just part of the club's
schedule.  She was happy to note that a couple women were actively
interested in genealogy, and got ideas for pursuing their family trees.

She also mentioned that at this meeting, they had the swearing in of new
officers.  The new president takes an oath to:

Defend the Constitution of the United States,
Defend the Constitution of the State of New York, and
Defend tthe bylaws of the <she made me promise not to tell> Senior
Citizen's Asscociation.

That is a lot of defending for an unsalaried position if you ask me.

But then, I am still sworn to support, protect and defend the Constitution
etc. etc.  Does this mean I have to go to DC and chat with Resident Rump?
