Please welcome Andre to our Club!
From the Podium
President Althea reminded the Club that each week’s program is recorded and posted on You Tube for the members. Watching one of our programs does count as a Make-Up.
Prez Althea also noted that not only is the program recorded, we are now including the question and answer period. The Prez alerted us of this update, as to warn us to be on our best behavior, because the video will be out on the “web.” She also said that “the question and answer time is usually the best part of the program.” The Prez quickly clarified that she meant that after a very stimulating and educational program, there can be thought-provoking Q&A engaging both the presenter and the membership. Nice save Prez!
