Salvete, Sodales -
Quirites, the year draws to a close and our Regula require that officers be elected this month. I am issuing a call, then, requesting that Sodales stand for office. Per the Regula, we need at least three Curators; the terms of the current three expire at the end of this December.
I have to say, the requirements of being a Curator are not heavy, nor do they require any scholarship or past distinctions here in the SVR. What's required is checking in on the Forum, communicating as needed with the other Curators and the Aediles, and attending to matters as they come up. (And, truth be told, it has been a very quiet Forum for some time.)
Bold or shy, busy or bookish, any Sodalis with good will and respect for our Society can stand for office and be a Curator. I, for one -- nor do I recall there being any impediment to it in the Regula -- will stand for re-election. How about some of the other 90-odd Sodales? As I've said, it should not be a burden of any consequence, and your willingness to help out and govern as needed will be appreciated. Sodales who are members of other organizations, NR or UNRV or whatever, can serve here without any problem.
Respondite, Sodales, atque Valete.
ante diem VII Idus Decembres [C], AUC 2762 (12/7/2009).
