WE NEED YOU! Committee chairs provided information about their committees – their focus, accomplishments and goals with a view to attracting club members to join and support their committees. Secretary Terry has sent out a reminder to all club members to sign up. Part of being an engaged club member is participating in club activities which includes being an active member of a committee. We need all of you to share the club responsibilities. Our ability to continue to fulfill our commitments both in our community and internationally depends on your participation. If you have any questions, please contact the committee chair whose name appears on the spread sheet on Terry’s email. Sponsors – please encourage members you have sponsored to participate
