> Much has been asked concerning the tremendous drop in membership, > thousands in the last decade. Couldn't let this slip by without correction. The membership has only decreased by less than 600 in the last decade. (Probably half of those by our core membership aging and passing.) Our Club is solid. The glass is over half full and we need to roll up our sleeves, outline some goals for next year and get them accomplished. This is not meant as campaigning...I just have such a love for the membership role. It is in good hands with Dania and the great committee that she is building.
