Hi Kathleen,

elderly people (normally: over 68-70) hunger for social contacts (as younger people do in their social networks, plus friends and families). Why not give them a social hour before the meeting?
On the other hand, some elderly tend - as part of the natural aging process - to loquacity (with a strong ego component) which doctors sometimes call logorh(o)ea. With a smile, instinct, politeness and an agreed strict time table it should be managed. If you are 25 and are to run the meetings, they wanted a younger manager to run the business properly. :-)

Hello all

I have been working with the Kingman museum with their Registered Museum Program paperwork and I have found a snag.

The people who are running the museum see the museum as a social area first and museum second. Which makes sticking to a time table difficult. Also all the members are elderly and I am 25.

My question is how can I keep them on task without becoming a young upstart or rude. Also how should a meeting be run, how to create an agenda and stick to it?

Thank you for all your help.
