Last week, Wes led a thoughtful discussion on membership, highlighting the importance of growing our base. A quick survey revealed that the majority of our members are over the age of 60—an eye-opening insight that kicked off some great brainstorming around how we can attract and engage new members. More to come as those ideas take shape!
A big shoutout to Rose Angela for her outstanding work in member engagement. Thanks to her efforts, we had 37 members attend the Taste of Downriver! We’re looking forward to seeing some great photos from the event soon.
Congratulations to our two most recent Marvelous Monday recipients!
Matt Hatty
Over the past year, Matt has gone above and beyond in leading our Zoom meetings. From sending invites and arriving early, to setting up the tech and ensuring every detail—attachments included—runs without a hitch, Matt’s consistency and care haven’t gone unnoticed.
Thank you, Matt, for your quiet leadership, reliability, and behind-the-scenes dedication. We appreciate everything you do!
Bill Jasman
This week’s Marvelous Monday honoree was Bill Jasman. As President, I juggle many responsibilities, and Bill generously stepped up to take one off my plate—selecting and playing music at the start of our meetings. On top of that, he continues to serve as our Foundation Chair and dedicated grant writer.
Bill, your initiative and leadership are making a real difference. Thank you for always going the extra mile!
Just a quick reminder:
On August 18, our meeting will be at Truago.
The Westfield location will be closed for renovations until October 31.
Wishing everyone a great week ahead!
