    It seems to me that members expect leaders to initiate many of these objectives. Is that a fair statement? What is the role of members?

    Is it against group rules to invite poets to read a poem you have written? I know we have the reading board, but is it acceptable to message the group asking members to read a poem? Other groups commonly do this.

      Place it on the forum Board and

      tell your Winkling Friends as well. I mean, special Winklers.

      That is a good question Melodies. Some people like messages about group activities and some are irritated by them. Perhaps we should run a poll and find out what people prefer.

    Very Good!

    Perhaps this needs to be included as a link in the Winklings rules...as an addendum.
