in recognition of past and present service - Society for the Study of ...

Friday, August 9 from 2:30pm-4:10pm. Each proposed
resolution will be presented by the sponsoring Division’s
Chairperson (or designated representative) and adequate time
for discussion will be properly allotted to each. All Division Chairs
should plan to participate in this session or designate a proxy
from their division if unable to attend.
To facilitate this process, all proposed resolutions, must be made
available to the SSSP Vice-President and Division Chair(s) by July
1. At the annual business meeting, the resolutions will be
presented by Vice-President Tracy L. Dietz as a package for
approval for action by the attending membership. The
membership will vote on proposed resolutions that were
discussed and revised on the first day of the meeting. If
objections from the floor are raised to any specific resolution,
that resolution can, by majority vote of those present, be singled
out from the package, and voted on separately. Those present
can either support the resolution for approval as proposed or
decide to table the resolution for further discussion at the
subsequent annual meeting. For more information on the
resolutions process, visit

Concert to Support the Initiative to End Domestic Violence
Open to SSSP Registrants
The Maul Girls will perform on Friday, August 9 from 7:45pm-
10:30pm. Formed in the 1990s, Maul Girls, a NYC-based alternaspunk
quintet took the East Village by storm with appearances at
venues such as CBGBs and the Continental. Sharing stages with
eclectic acts including The Lunachicks, They Might Be Giants, and
Janis Ian, Maul Girls offered a funky, chunky sound that the New
York Times called “high energy pop.” Having disbanded by the
Maullenium, they reunited for shows at NYC’s HOWL! Festival,
Dean Johnson’s Rock N’ Roll Fag Bar, and the Bowery Electric.
They are particularly honored to play at SSSP’s 2013 Annual
Meeting in support of UNiTE’s campaign to End Violence Against
Women! Reflecting on their 2007 HOWL! Festival performance,
Lucid Culture notes: “…their slightly askew mishmash of punk,
funk and pop pulled an impressively mixed crowd. Everybody
loved the Maul Girls because they rocked…and their songs were
catchy as hell. Tonight the crowd was a roiling sea of dancing
bodies….” Yes, indeed -Maul Girls are guaranteed to BRING DA
PARTY and they will ROCK SSSP’s world!!
