We are very sad to report the passing of Ms. Nancy Lemoine, a longtime core member of Theatre Company of Saugus, on Thursday 18 April 2013.  She was fighting cancer for the past year.  She was an actor, director, and music director for many of our shows.  For more information about her, please see our Nan Through The Years page.  Here are the arrangements, as announced by Pastor Bob Leroe:

The wake will be next Friday 26 April 2013 from 4 to 8 PM, at Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home.   The funeral will be the following day, Saturday 27 April at 9 AM, at the Cliftondale Congregational Church.  The graveside service will be at Woodlawn cemetery, and the collation will be a luncheon at Spinelli’s, on Route 1 South in Lynnfield.  Rev. Roger Nelson (retired priest at St. John’s Episcopal Church) and I will be conducting the service, and our choir will be singing.  These are all the details I have at this time.  Please keep Nancy’s friends and loved ones in your prayers.  She has touched all our lives, and we are richer for it. Our comfort is in knowing that her suffering is past and she is in her true home.  Under the Mercy, Pastor Bob.

Because of recent resignations from the TCS Board of Directors, two of our Alternate Board Members have been promoted to full board positions:  Matthew Huffman and Larry Segel.  This leaves only one Alternate member, Nathan Goulart-Pasco, and we normally have three.  We are therefore looking for two people who would like to be appointed to the two open Alternate positions.  We are particularly interested in adding people who are residents of the town of Saugus, but any interested Theatre Company members are welcome.  To apply, or if you have questions, please write to us at tcsaugus@gmail.com, or speak to any current board member.

The Alternate Board Member positions run only to the end of the calendar year 2013.  (They can be reelected for 2014 and so forth.)  Alternates are expected to attend all board meetings, which are usually on the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM.  (The next board meeting is May 8, 2013).  Alternates participate in discussions but do not normally vote.  Unless, because of absences, we do not have a quorum of full board members at a meeting, then the alternates will vote at that meeting, being temporarily added to the board to fill the quorum.
