Speaker: Was to have been meeting of committees however due to lack of membership attendance, Don asked for an open discussion about the health of the club.

Calling the missing members – this lead to discussion:

            Clubs across US and Canada have attendance falling off

            Service Projects/lunch

            Combining with Riverside – looking at altering the meeting times

Prepaying for meals – we are paying for more than the number attending. Need to check the math and cost increase of the kitchen

            Difficulties of attending during holidays

About identifying who is missing

Data needed from Willie

a list of 5 or 6 questions for the callers – Bruce and Ron volunteered to call

The importance of the social elements and how people are using social media.

 

On the whole a very lively meeting with numerous ideas and two good jokes!
