With John Waken’s past contributions to the Sectional, we need to continue honoring him by calling it the John Waken Sectional.

Did I read somewhere that there is a partnership chairman?

🙋♀️Fellow Board Members,
I called Lisa a little before 8pm last night and left a message on her cell phone. I had a great conversation with John concerning the history of the John Waken Sectional of which I previously wasn't familiar with. I wanted to share the essence of that conversation with her. I am sure she is quite busy and will eventually call me back. I agree with Roy and Angela as to not changing the name at this point. He has done alot for our unit in regard to the Sectional and I believe we should continue to honor him while he can still enjoy it.
God's Blessings to All,
Gloria

Friends, John Waken subsidized our sectional for about 30 years with $1000 each year. After about 20 years, the unit board voted to name our sectional the John Waken Sectional in perpetuity. I have no idea if records were kept, nor if anyone else remembers that, but most likely if this becomes an issue there are members who can recall it, and I am sure that John himself probably remembers it. I would suggest that this not be changed… at least until John is gone. However, the unit board is certainly free to rescind this honor, and John might not mind.
