We should try to get twice as many people to come to see our excellent mall shows as we have had in the past! Thanks to all who participated in the Member Survey that was done in May. The results have now been 1/2 compiled and summarized, and have been given to the executive team for detailed review prior to a day session scheduled for late this month. A summary of the results will be shared with the members at our upcoming monthly meeting on September 20. We are planning to also involve a number of members in the survey action plan development and will be making some requests for involvement as we proceed. We have a successful club with attendance growing to 190. However, as we grow and evolve we need to be mindful of things that may need a bit of tuning or changing and recognize that the club has groups of members who want and need differing things. You will soon see a new and invigorated library this year under the capable leadership of Lorraine Elkins. If you have books and magazines that you would be willing to donate to the library, especially more current issues, please make arrangements with Lorraine. I look forward to seeing many of you at our first meeting of the new term.
