The Member Who Never Came Back
Posted by Markus Baumann
From a club bulletin in District 7080
It amuses me to think that your club spends somuch time looking for new members, when Iwas there all the time. Don't you rememberme? I am the one who came to every meetingbut nobody paid any attention. I tried to befriendly, but everybody seemed to have theirown friends to talk and sit with.
I sat down among some unfamiliar faces several times, but nobody paid much heed to me. I hoped someone would ask me to join a committee or to somehow participate, but no one did. Finally, because of illness, I missed a meeting. No one asked where I had been. I guess it did not matter whether I was there. Who am I? I'm the member who never came back.
