10/17  Great presentation by Hope Lodge. Their work lives up to their name - Hope. They provide comfort for people receiving cancer treatment. Lucy's story was inspirational. 
10/18 Better Angel Skills Workshop was also inspirational. One thing I learned is : Don't  try to change people's thinking. Try to understand where they are coming from  so common ground might be found. 
 
"How can we do good in the community?".
Wouldn't it be beneficial if the members donated blood?
Wouldn't it be fun if the 3-Clubs had a friendly competition from February to April to donate blood or plasma to the Mayo Donation Center? 
Did I hear a "Yes"? - - - YES!
 
Each club needs a blood champion. 
Time Commitment: 2-3 meetings to iron out details , such as:
